There are old posts about this topic with pics, but the pics dont exist anymore, just the text remains.

Anyway i think ive located the sump (ive never been able to look properly under my car as its too low, but now i can.

It is a tinny metal box thing right at the bottom of the engine bay,

some old posts said there was meant to be plastic sheet covering it from the elements from the underneath, i dont have that.

The thing i think is the sump has a bolt right near the bottom of the sump, but it is off to the drivers side of the sump alittle bit,

it is an r33 gtst with rb25 in it, does that sound like sump plug?

oh its about 14mm bolt aswell

cheers

Yes thats the sump plug

What are you going to do? this sounds scary

hahahah nah just oil change lol, might aswell do it myself since its straight forward... i can empty it right into the storm water graes cant i lol jkz

yeah that sounds like the sump plug. it is usally on one side at about 45 degrees, not on the very bottom of the sump (so it doesn't get broken off and you lose all your oil if the car bottoms out)

kk no probs, thanks. I figured it was but just wanted confirmation lol

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
