Have a slipping clutch in a standard R32GTR. Planning to replace with a heavy duty single plate next week - (for future 300 RWKW/circuit work).

Was also going to get a larger/extended etc sump installed in the new year.

Question: Is it more economical to get them installed at the same time? Can the sump be installed with only the removal of the gearbox? or does the engine have to come out? Also, which aftermarket sump is recommended? Tomei? Trust? (extension?) (baffeled?)

Where to purchase in WA?

Cheers

I believe the baffled Trust extension is what most people use, needs to be welded in.

Sump off (especially in 4wd) is pretty much an engine out job. You might be able to save some labour if the box needs to come out too.

Most people use the Trust Sump extension with baffles (needs to be welded on standard sump)

Cheaper option is a Tomei sump baffle for the stock sump

otherwise you can go for custom setups like Hi-Octane or something

as for installation i have no idea :D

Trust extension is SHIT ..

Want this bad boy set up .. Oil change it takes 9ltrs

This is whats on our 32 , done by Advan performance in NSW .. Look at 3rd pic you see blue earls fitting . That is now plumbed from Advan catch can to sump with earls 1 way oil valve

trust sump extension and baffle kit is very good and good value for money

only problem you may have is it sits lower that xmember, but if you have decent suspension it does not matter... my car was low and i never had a issue with it touching the ground

i have the imports 101 kit, i was going to get the trust one but didnt like how low they hang.. very happy with the imports 101 kit and good service too

think it was about $1100 supplied and welded to the standard sump

i think my greddy cost around $500 welded to the standard sump and ready to go...

double the price is a bit steep

i have the imports 101 kit, i was going to get the trust one but didnt like how low they hang.. very happy with the imports 101 kit and good service too

Pics of how your sump sits ???

Thanks for replies so far - but can the sump be extended/replaced with the above mentioned products/extensions without removing the engine or gearbox? or can it just be done removing the gearbox?

(As mentioned previously, have to replace clutch, so will also modify/replace sump if it can be done with just the gearbox out).

If can be done without removing either - happy days..........I will get it done later, and just replace the clutch now.

(nothing more frustrating then having a GTR with a slipping clutch!)

Cheers

I have removed the Sump without removing the engine but its not really any easier than removing the engine. Stock pump is ok with bigger sump but the pump is a weak link.

Imports/Garage101 have a billet Oil pump gearset upgrade now.

Thanks.

So - according to above, gearbox removal is irrelevent to sump replacment/modification?

  • 3 weeks later...

just an update on this.

im gonna get a N1 oil pump for my BNR32 and was wondering what is recommnded for a Sump Extension

Trust?

Tomei? etc...

what brand and where can I source one from either QLD or NSW? for a good price

Cheers

Looks much the same as the Advan one, Very much more complex than the more basic Trust sump inc the trick Baffles.

There is a Cylinder head drain option also.

sorry havent got any pics of how it sits, but its pretty much exactly the same as that advan one.. the rear head drain is a standard fitting on the sump - 10 i think. i had no intention of using a rear head drain so i have it plugged up.

comparing this to the trust extension is not fair.. these are a work of art once fitted and and sitting behind the kframe in a nice safe place is where the extra $350 is, not to mention the extra oil they hold compared to the trust jobby

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
