trust one is not too bad value for money. just need to cut your sump and weld it on. comes with new pick-up too. they are simple but work well. just try not to smash it on a ripple strip!

that pic angle makes it look far worse than it is. judging by that pic it looks like the front diff is below the subframe!

they looks worse than they are in reality. I know of lots on circuit cars and can only think of one I know of that took a hit and was broken. and I know of a couple factory sumps that have been smashed so in that case you never know if a different sump would have survived the hit or not.

lol was that me that hit the trust sump richard? i pulled the sump plug out and cracked the case. all welded back up fine now.

any decent size sump is going to hand below the cross member.

ben we took std sumps down to tugga, but I don't understand why they dont allow sump extensions....its one of the few mods allowed in prod racing up here and fair enough as it is reliability only not performance

I have a trust sump extension as well.

Although it is a bit low, it's the depth and the pick up extension that make it effective. Most track cars in Japan use them and have proved that it is a reliable unit.

If the sump is too close to the ground then may be your r32 is too low...unless you have modified your suspension mounting points.

We added wings but kept the factory depth on mine so it's level with the x-member.... I haven't hit the track with slicks yet, do you guys think the depth is likely to be a problem? Holds somewhere between 7 and 8 litres from memory with one of the jap baffle kits.

our external oil pump kits are being CNC'd at the moment too...they will be nice. Teamed with the sump is the ultimate 'wet' set-up.

This will be good, where are you putting the pump and when will the kits be available? (no a/c or p/s to worry about). Hopefully I dont need a vipec to run it :D

well wings are ok, but they just give more room for the oil to move away from the pick-up. but with the right type of 1 way trap doors etc they can be made to work pretty well. some people do fall down though by just making sump bigger (wider) and thinking that will help). what you need is that narrow depth like the trust one to keep the oil around the pick-up, but of course you sacrifice clearance for it. ideally you would have a 2 foot long box section off the bottom of the sump that was only 10cm X 10cm with a hose running to the bottom of it as a pick-up! no oil surge ever but you would need to mount the engine about half way up the windscreen height..... could be a problem.

and yes it was yours I was thinking of dundan. just didn't want to name names.. :D

at least it was easily fixed. :P

how does the beaded seat cover you ordered make it fun to drive? I guess when you go into turn 1 a bit too quick and clench hard you might 'accidentally' suck one up the jacksie! nasty.

I have to say apart from that I am a bit excited to see fatz back in a GTR on the track. it's been a long time mate. plus you can actually drive half as good as you talk smack. should give a few people a fright...

how long since you first had your old GTR? must be 5 years now? bit more even?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
