Hi guys and gals..... I am preparing my GTR for circuit racing and need to replace my sump with one with a larger oil capacity and better baffled. I came across one manufactured by GREX at NENGUN performance parts (nengun.com) but no details such as the sump's oil capacity and whether it sits lower than the original sump.

Does anyone out there have any info or can refer me to someone who does?

:)

Hi.

The TRUST / GREX sump does hang lower. According to an engineer mate of mine who does a lot of V8 Supercar work, you cannot go past the Jun sump kit (baffle kit) for light circuit racing.

Good luck.

Powerplay in Sydney got hold of the Trust Sump kit for my race car, it includes a sump extension you weld in, a new oil pickup and some additional baffles.

I thought it was 8l not 10l though, the 10l might have included an oil cooler?

Merli has also just fitted the Trust extension kit. It seems like a great option when compared to the price of the baffle only kit from Jun and Tomei. Increased oil capacity, baffles and modified pickup.

Nengun and Greeline can supply these, alternatively if you want to buy from a local store im sure Advan in silverwater has them in stock

Sorry to bring up a reasonably dead thread but has neone actually used one of these kits on the track and to what degree of success was experienced, i just purchased one of these kits (the grex) and it is waiting to be installed on the car. Its the kit with extension oil pickup and extra baffles, is this kit sufficient to eliminate the common oil starvation problems GTRs face when at the track when used in combination with a good quality oil cooler.

Cheers

John

haha yes, race car has done a heap of track days over 12 months. It seems to be a well designed kit, and no doubt just the extra capacity on its own is a help.

We also run restrictors in the oil feed to the head, and I have heard of people using baffles or foam in the head as well.

Yes the R31 N1 has an oil cooler although no filter relocation kit, so total oil capacity is up another litre or so, up to about 8 litres from memory

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
