R32 Sump Install Questions

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

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!)

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?

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

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By dbm7 · Posted

      He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 😃

      Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.

      Correct. The ECU cannot read oil temp. (Well, I think it probably can in some situations. I did have the thought of potentially repinning the ECU when I was doing oil pressure). I am using this into the MPVI dongle, so that the MPVI dongle can read oil temperature. It is attached to a VDO gauge which is obviously calibrated to whatever curve the sender actually is using. This would be easy if I could setup a table of voltage to temperature like many sensors, but it appears I cannot do this and can only setup the transform rule which appears to be Input (voltage) x Multiplier, and add an offset. This to me means it MUST be linear. So it may be a complete waste of time wiring this into the ECU. The idea was that the MPVI3 has standalone logging. I wanted to use this instead of a laptop with serial cable (for wideband) for long datalogs. Given the wideband also has electric interference, I may never trust this either in a world where the serial wideband and the analog output wideband do not agree. Last time I did a trace I could see the two wideband traces follow each other, but one was a little leaner than the other. I plan on playing with voltage offsets and actually driving the thing to see how close they correlate. If they never correlate... then, well, maybe I'll never use either. Ideally I'd like to have the Analog wideband read ever so slightly leaner than the serial one, because the serial one is 'correct'. Tuning the car to be ever so slightly too-rich would be the aim. Not needing to have a laptop flying around in the footwell connected with cables is... an advantage. About the only one from the forced upgrade to MPVI3.
