motor is a S1 stagea (non neo)

car is a s1 R33 gtst

ok so has anyone done this? if so how did you go about the oil pickup positioning?

the plan was to use my sump and bolt it onto the stag motor, but they aren't co-operating

the pickup is in the wrong spot :/

custom pickup in the base of the pan approx 1-2 inches back from centre....tube exiting the side of the sump to a fitting (-8 or similar), then hose from there to the exhaust side of the pump where you have to remove a welch plug and tap a thread. Put a -8 or similar AN fitting in the side of the pump and join that hose. Tap a thread in the back of the pump where it normally sucks the oil in and put in a flat blocker or welch plug. DO NOT WELD IT or you will distort the pump.

Job done

sorry I forgot you are going the other way. You should be able to just make a custom pickup using 16mm stainless bends and keep it all inside the sump (if you are using the tin sump)

If you are going the other way, the external method is the only way because of the position of the driveshaft through the centre

Just gotta make sure the height of the pickup is ok and not too close to the pan floor, also not too far away. 5-10mm from the entry should be ok.

Also with the added length you may have issues with vibration in the tube so get them to re-attach the other mounting strap that is on the stag pickup. It will strengthen it

so measure the height that the current one sticks out of the block, weld it, keeping bends minimal, attach secondary strap... done...

will post results when done aight

:D

going to try leaving the stagea pickup in it's standard spot and cutting out a hole in the RWD sump's splashguard.

(providing the height of the sump's are the same and not deeper/shallower)

can anyone think of a reason why this could fail?

i'm thinking i might just cut the stagea sump and use that...

i was reading a thread about RB26's into s13's and everyone seems to just cut the 26 sump and use it, as they get the stronger sump and less hastles

as far as I can see this is exactly the same scenario.

gonna ring trent and ask him today as he has already done this on cat's race car

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
