R34 Gtt Engine Oil Sump Removal

I tried searching on here and I even did some googles so now I come to you.

So I need to replace the engine oil sump on my ER34 as it got dented.

It doesn't look like it's going to be a super easy easy job.

Does anyone have any tips? Would it be easier to take the engine out or can I undo the engine mounts and use an engine crane to raise the engine enough to drop the sump off and get it out?

Cheers,

Andy

Damaged sumps are a very common problem in Syklines and for example of the 6 RB25's I currently have only three have sumps without a mark on them.

There are two ways that you can do this.

The first is the standard engine out - replace sump - reinstall.

The other option is to raise the engine slightly with an engine crane and install an engine hanger that spans fron one front guard to the other and then support the engine from the hanger. Next you support the car on a hoist for easy access under the car. Then remove the engine mounts, undo the lower control arms inner mounts and then remove the front crossmember.If you then raise the car on the hoist you have easy access to the bottom of the motor to remove the damaged sump and install a new one.

Either approach is not that difficult it just requires equipment and time to complete the job.

The other day a couple of people said I should be able to get it out by taking all the bolts for the sump out and undoing the pickup and taking that out with the sump.

Does this sound plausible?

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.

      Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?

      R34 N/a And R34 Turbo (gtt) Transmission.. Uh, Problem.

      @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man

      Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
