Hey guys, recently changed oil and filter in my 32. Its fitted with the trust sump extension but in total only took 5l of new oil. Anyone else have the same extension and how much oil do you guys swap in when servicing?

The 5l took it to the full line on the dipstick at cold, however i believe the extension allows for am extra 1.5L?

Well your dipstick should be to the max line and to get there you should have poured in more than 1 litre more than a stock sump setup.

If you have poured in just 5 L with a filter change and your reading to the full mark, then your Trust sump extension is not really adding any capacity .......and they are known for not adding much more capacity.....only 1 to 1.5 from what ive heard, hardly much of a increase compared to whats out there.

Yep the advertised increase is 1.5L only, but given i have only been able to put in 5L it seems its only actually taken in about 500ml more or so. Was thinking it should need at least 6L having drained it for over an hour.

Anyone else running one?

I wonder if they cut the sump a bit high or if its previously been fitted to another sump and cut off and refitted to yours in which case it may hold less if its been welded and cut and rewelded.

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
