Seen a few Canton and Moroso items on eBay, but just wondering if anyone sells accusump accumulators in Australia - preferably Canton?

I know Performance Wholesale sell Moroso, but from what I've seen on international sites Canton is cheaper and just as good.

Thanks in advance.

Dont muck around trying to buy here. Just get it direct from the US. Make sure you get the version with the fully auto fill and discharge valve. Its a bit more expensive but worth it. I have the 3 quart version.

I have a 3 quart accusump system with electric shut off valve and auto valve, that the owner wants to sell

Was removed from a lotus that has been dry sumped.

If your interested send me an email and ill put you in contact with the owner.

This guy from eBay in the US is the best price cost under $450 delivered to Australia and that's a 3qt tank including the EPC refill, discharge value and brackets.

Thanks guys for the responses.

GTR32G, thanks for the link. That's a very reasonable price for the 3qt kit and all I'd need to do is get the hoses and fittings.

Do you guys have an opinion on which pressure release valve is best? I'd assume that a lower pressure release (20-25 PSI vs 35-40 PSI or 55-60PSI) is better for RB oil control due to its inherent oiling problems.

I have just gone through the whole process of researching them and been dealing with Canton direct who gave me contacts to people that drift and race RB's in the US with the Accusump and they have advised to run the 35-40psi EPC valve, In the next few days was going to order the kit I have posted above for a R34 GTR.

Received my Accusump today and it's a sexy bit of kit.

Anyway, from the reading I've done it looks like the accusump works on pretty low pressures, so I am questioning the need for braided stainless hoses that can take up to 1000psi.

Do you guys have recommendations for the types of hose to use on an Accusump? I'll also use the same hosing from sandwich plate to oil filter (relocated) and oil cooler.

Its where you run the hose that would dictate the hose you use. I am gaoing to run my 10AN lines where the hydraulic HICAS lines used to go so using 3/4" alloy tube tpo mechanically protect the line. Alloy tube isnt the strongest stuff out there either but thats what I am going to use when it finally gets installed. I still need to get a pressure transducer to put into the sump where the gauge goes so I can log it into my data logger.

The other nightmare is fitting the big mumma check valve somewhere neatly near the remote filter. I want to also run the solenoid in the engine bay rather than in the boot where mine is going to be mounted between the strut brace/battery box and the back seat. Easier to wire and should help response a tad (in theory)

I'm not sure if response will help as oil should always be pressurised in the lines, so whether the solenoid is at the accusump or next to the engine, when it dumps, it all moves at the same rate through the hose.

Nothing wrong with putting it in the engine bay though.

There would be bugger all in it...but the other thing is putting the solenoid near the t piece in the engine bay you are effectively making the 10AN lines part of the reservoir giving it a bit more volume rather than have that line of oil have to be pressurised and then charge the engine....calling bees d1cks but thats they way I am doing it and why ?!?!

im in the middle f getting quotes for an accusump 3 quart for my r33 gtr build. when you guys ordered ya gear the accusump itself has a pressure release valve on it doesnt it i am ruuning a manual valve with a cable just one less thing to go wrong and this is what robs from rips uses

with plumbing it in witht the ex oil cooler in place do you guys just cut and put a t piece in line going back to engine from oil cooler with a check valve on the cooler side of the t piece?

I've ran one now for a couple months.

IMO, get rid of the check valve, don't worry about the solenoid vavle. I just run a manule isolator. Cheaper and fail safe.

Works well for me

Best place to purchase in aus what car are you running one on

USA ebay, Cheaper and it was here in a week.

Track pig R33 GTST, with stock 188000km motor under stock boost. It must be working, it's red hot after I run it out on the track. Great for pre oiling, when you have not run the car for a while.

I just used push-loc oil fittings and just dump the accusump line into the oil cooler. Plenty of people run the accusump without the check valve, the way I looked at it, the oil injected in will take the least path of resistance and the RB25 oil pump is a gear type, which shouldn't be affected by the oil been injected in.

      Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.

      No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
