Hello,

I am installing a rb25det on a Nissan Patrol Y60 (You australians might know it as the GQ shorty)

It was the same bolting pattern as the rwd sump, my block is from a skyline GTS so its awd, it still has the RWD oil sump pattern.

The problem is the oil pickup, It seems to it oil sump, but there is another place for an oil pickup on the block but the hole is filled, can I just drill the a hole on the back and put the oil pickup there ?

The rd28 oil sump has the deposit on the back.

I need to modify both the oil pickup and the sump too, oil pickup it self hits the border of the sump, so I will need to widen it and get a bigger deposit for the line to pass.

I will recheck this part this weekend, but I would like to see if there is someone out there who did it diferently.

I had to modify the oil pickup on a RB25DET from a Stagea (ie AWD sump) to fit a 2WD sump. It meant cutting rotating and brazing the fitting to the correct location. Also required heating/tapping/massaging out the sump to clear the fitting.

Do you have an AWD sump and you are prepared to cut and weld to remove the diff it might be a better option? I have no idea what you are facing with a GQ with crossmembers etc

The AWD sump would be too much work to modify, also, f**k why are all the bolts acessible, you need to take the flywheel off to access the back bolts.

I think the best method is to modify the rd28 sump, enlarge it a bit on the oil pickup and add a bigger tank on the back. The AWD sump would be too much work as I need the oil reservoir to be on the back, for diff clearance and I do a lot of big uphills and inclinations.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
