All parts are located in Blaxland NSW, 10min past Penrifff on the M4.

R32 GTR TEIN Super Streets: $250
Only removed as they were replaced with custom MCA/Bilstein coilovers.
They've been sitting in the garage for a while in the same spot and haven't leaked. They drove well on the street and stuck on the track pretty well.

Were purchased from Fulcrum in Qld, so they're Aussie spring rates to suit our roads, not the stiffer JDMYO-spec rates.

GTR Extended/baffled/gated sump: $1100
Has increase capacity by around 1.5L. Most workshops prefer to cut the factory cast sump floor and fabricate a sheetmetal one, but unless the floor is lowered, it'll give no increase in capacity from our approach, so we prefer to keep it in place to reduce any possible warpage during welding and keep maximum strength. We can increase capacity beyond the 1.5L shown, but feel it's unnecessary if the right cooling, baffles and oil pump are used.
This sump features -10 fittings on both sides of the sump which can be used to vent crank pressure to the head and increase oil flowback on engines with blowby issues or big boost applications. All fittings are above the windage tray to stop high g-forces moving oil up the lines.
The baffled windage tray shown has four 70x25mm gates with walls extending from the underside of the windage tray to the floor of the sump.
No oil pickup modifications are required for either baffle or extended sump mods. Leak tested and will come with -10 blanking caps as shown in pic and standard diff.

RB26 twin turbo split pipe with mod: $150 (actual pipe in pic, painted in heatproof 'aluminium' paint)
This modification stops compressor surge (shuffle) between aftermarket twin turbos. Some workshops like to cut the forward/upper of the pipe off and reweld across the top, but we prefer to slot from the rear to save welding across the top; we think it just looks neater.
We've read some owners in the UK have had back-to-back 10hp gains with this mod only, whether it's true or not, it'll definitely stop the turbo 'shuffle' on bigger twin turbos.

TEINs gone, TT pipe gone, still have sump.

Heya NISR32.5,

I fabbed the sump for a customer who didn't come through with the remaining cash.

PM me if you'd like more info regarding your application etc

Mark :)

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
