Yep Neil, Now that Matt mentions it he is right, both patterns line up bolt wise however a 25 sump needs some work to fit the 30 bottom end and clear the crank. 30 onto 25 does require 30 oil pick up however to prevent starving the engine on high rpm.

I'm not 100% sure how a dry sump works so I am not sure how this might effect your plans mate.

Yea,,,I knew Matt was right,,,just needed confirmation. Thanks Matt.

I'm going to see if I can find a 25 sump and play cut the bugger up and make my own dry sump. It really can't be that hard.

ASR didn't return my phone call,,,but I expect they will be as expensive as hioctane.

Handley's booked for tomorrow,,,so thats cool. I'm booked for Saturday on his car and training on Sunday,,,,busy days ahead.

Oh I didn't mention,,,I'm also booked with BMW for my usual Parts Master's weekend at Eastern Creek this time,,,Feb 11-13,,,time to thrash some BMW's around there for free. They won't tell what cars are on offer,,,but they better have "M"'s or words will be had. I'd really like a thrash of X5M,,,X6M or the new 1 series M,,,bit over the M3. I'm definately going to for-go the go-karts and skid pan and get some more driver training from Mr Brabham. Might even put my POV in the cars.

Cheers

Neil.

Neil if you want to pickup some dead RB30s you can have them and the sumps that are on them... ;)

Can I just have the sumps mate,,,I don't need to start an artificial reef at the moment. :whistling::whistling::whistling:

I have a good friend that works in the metal fabrication industry, he and his boss have a passion for building things a little different and a little tricky, and if you throw in something motor sport related then they all but froth at the mouth! I would be more than happy mention your project and see if they are interested or even if they have done something like this dry sump before. I'm thinking something aluminimum :O Just let me know, I know they have a pretty trick drag mobile in the workshop. :D

Also, let me know if you need any crew/co-drivers at the Masters day ;)

Stay Sidewayz,

800 bucks is far not expensive for a dry sump pan.

Neil you have a pretty good idea what's needed.

Cut the pan off, you need a flat base that has a slight slope from each side to the center for simplicity.

Cut a grove about an inch wide the entire length and weld in a channel the length of the sump which you can scavenge from.

Some type of mesh over the top of the channel and it's right to go.

3 hours labour @ 110p/h plus $15-20 retail for plate and channel. 3 -12 weld on fittings @ $13.30 each and your away.

Good to see a consistant amount of working going into the car week in week out...god knows how hard it is to find time to work on cars

Thanks Troy,,,we do enjoy working on cars,,, and I think thats what pushes us on. My wife is very understanding and Mrs Handley loves her tarmac rally stuff,,, so we Boys have lots of time to play cars. Just wish someone would turn the temps down though,,,air con or no air con,,,welding,,,cutting,,,altering and assembley stuff is so hard in this heat.

Cheers

I wish someone could do one for a GTR at $800.00 (challenege Brad? :))

The only way the motors are moving to get the sumps off Neil is if someone takes them, or as I push them off the trailer into the tip... LOL

PS: If anyone wants them, put your hand up NOW!

I understand where your coming from Matt,,,think I'll pass though. All the way to the gong to dump a motor less it's sump doesn't sound like much fun,,,thanks anyway mate.

I need to pop up to the mountains soon,,,the big fella has some bits and pieces I'm after.

Dan,,,thanks for the offer buddy and I might take you up on it if my attempts at making a sump don't work. Brad's right,,,after all my researching I have a good adea what's necessary. While aluminum would be fantastic,,,steel will be fine. Ha Ha,,,my masters day,,,mate they won't let you in the gate. It's really cool,,,no dirty hands,,,just get in cars and thrash away.

Titan,,,I haven't had a chance to ring them again,,,but I will post the price when I do.

Cheers

Neil.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
