Hey guys, I'm getting a Greddy sump extention welded on and I need to know the grade of aluminum the oil pan is. Anyone know?

Cheers

Ben

Hi there, Good luck finding the grade of alloy.. I think you'd just be guessing..

I've welded ALOT of these and I can say they weld perfectly, not like the magnesium filled sumps you normally find

What rod or wire did you weld them with? That's what I was trying to figure out from the grade. That would be a huge help.

I should be using 5356 as per what kristafa said, but I've always used 4043 because it's there and I dont have to go get it out of my filler wire tubes..

I've welded close to 30, never had one crack or break yet..

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
