Would help if we knew what sandwich plate you bought and what oil pressure sender it is.

My suggestion, if the thread appears to be ok, use loctite thread locker when you screw it in to seal the thread. But it will all depend on what parts are being used.

so im not making another thread for a similar problem my tuner just told me there is a small dent in the sump and it could cause problems what do you guys think. im only running a standard rb25det with 10psi and a microtech ecu. i dont know if he is trying to take me for a ride but it is hard because i can not get down there to look at it myself due to my work hours. what are your thoughts

lol small dent... if you saw the sump on one of my track car's you'd cringe... they can take a fair wack before hitting the pick up.

is the sender the correct thread for the sandwich plate? what brand? post pics!

thing is my tuner only wants to do a basic tune until i fix the dent in the sump because he reckons its going to cause problems however when i put the motor in i checked the sump and tiny dents didnt bother me i have seen some big dents in my time also being a engine rebuilder i just think he is trying to take me for a ride.

and with the sandwich plate its the main center stalk that its leaking around aparently not sure ill have to have a good look myself i think. i reckon maybe it was just a pinched oring or something

An "engine rebuilder" having trouble fitting a oil filter sandwich plate... hmmm....

I wouldn't use one personally, esp not an ebay one, heard too many horror stories about them failing and people dying.

the lowest part of my sump is dented in about 30-40mm on the whole bottom section, didnt even bother hitting it out when i had the sump off and motor apart, its fine. unless its blocking/breaking the pickup (you'd know by now as you'd have pressure problems) its fine

thing is im not looking at drifting or tracking it and im only looking at running 300rwkw down the track. and its only going to really be street and maybe a bit of strip use so i cant justify spending that money on a sump when i got a spare sump laying around. also the tuner just tuned my car and has had no oil pressure issues so i dont even know if its worth changing it but to be on the safe side i might change it

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
