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.

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      By Nydt · Posted

      Hey y'all, I have a completely stock 1991 R32 GTR, yesterday I took my car out and went for about a thirty minute drive. It was fine on the way there but when returning home I think the car might have gone into a limp mode. I was cruising in 5th gear around 130km/h, the hicas light came on and there was a significant loss of power. About a minute later I hear a thump, the car starts driving normal again and is fine the rest of the drive back. This is the second time its happened, same as now it was fine on the trip there. On the way back it had the hicas light on but that time I would feel the power going in and out before hearing the same thump and it being fine.  I have no idea idea what causing this, but if anyone has any ideas it would be great as a start chasing the cause of this. Also I can provide more details if needed. Thank you

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      When sanding across a convex panel, you need to sand, as much as possible, at right angles to the curve. If the panel is compound convex curved (ie curved in both directions) then you are SOL and have to use "craftsmanship" to get it right.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      This sounds like me. And then why I leave shit that I had previously hobbled together broken. Lately I've changed strategies to "If I don't want to justify the money on decent stuff, I'm not going to justify hobbling it together". I'm still for DIY, but DIY it properly is more my thing. However, I am terrible on not setting up backups still... Which reminds me, I need to go backup some of my work VM machines... Oh, it's also why I've become a lover of building things into Docker Containers... Then I just need a machine that can run docker, and bam, that specific system is up and running, on the specific versions of everything I need for it to run (In the event a change in required software version breaks something else). Also, these days, my steep learning curves are spent with work related stuff, and on very varied projects, that my want to do other random projects like build a dashboard for my own car has dwindled away to "I just want the car running", which is my current PITA, as I'm getting the Landcruiser usable again, and it has just been non-stop the past 6 to 8 weeks of buying parts, and working on it. Oh, and tools that are meant to be fit for purpose... And they break, because 25 year old 4WD decides it's stronger... But by the time I have it ready to roll back out the drive way, nearly all the stuff in it will have been touched and serviced, so the damn thing better give me NO FREAKING ISSUES, for at least the next 50,000KMs! Just redone whole front of the motor, and resealed the up top stuff, replaced a bunch of things getting perished, new timing belt done, water pump, lower timing cover (Toyota diesel engine runs timing GEARS for the bottom half the motor, and a timing belt from halfway up to the top), new harmonic balancer, fix up the alternator, new thermostat, full swivel hub rebuild, new bearings and seals front and back, steering box rebuild, new battery, and today, it turns out a rear shock has let go, so four new shocks are about to go on order, and that will leave me with after the next run of work, to see if I need to order just a brake caliper re-seal, or if I'll need new pistons in them too. Oh, and I'll finish welding in the new floor sheet metal shortly too. Presently I just want it finished already... But once all the above is done, I still need to fully service diffs, gearbox, transfer, and motor. Then flush and bleed the clutch, and flush and bleed the brakes. But enough about our waffle, back to Duncan's heat problems... I think for Duncan he just gets a thermoswitch, and a manual switch to run some water misters. Thermo so it's only on above certain temps, and the manual switch so it can be turned off even if it is above certain temperatures. IE, switch on for "I'm now on track", then it doesn't need any "smart" computers that might try and do things wrong. And switch the thing off completely on the cool down lap, so when he stops in pits, there's not even a possibility of it dripping any water out to get him in trouble.
