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

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
