Take the 26 sump to a decent fabricator and ask him to cut the diff off it and weld it up. The 26 sump has quite a bit of strength to it. While they are at it put a decent extension on it to your oil side of things is sorted. If your in Sydney Performance Metalcraft know what to do with it :)

While the engine is out i would also put a decent oil pump on it so you dont have to worry about pulling it out again any time soon

The 25 sump and oil pan doesn't just fit straight on. There is some fabrication that needs to happen. After you bolt up the 25 oil pick up. The oil pan wont just go on. After you figure out how to get it on you will notice that the oil pan is hitting the base of the oil pickup. Then if you want you can grind the pickup base which I dont like to do because it can lead to oil problems later because of how much you have to grind off to fit the oil pan on the block. When I did it I simply modified the rb25 oil pan in that section. I heated it up and shaped the side in a round fashion to clear the oil pickup base. Then if I remember its still has one bolt I had to sacrifice which was no big deal as the sealant (silicone) took care of that.

What I would do if I did it again is as mentioned above use the 26 aluminum oil pan and cut the diff off and weld in parts that needs to be filled in.

Go on RaceFab and look at how they did it on there site. Or just buy one from them.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
