Rb25de AWD to RWD modification

[Reeky]

Hey everyone, 

noobie question.

if I get an AWD Rb25de for my RWD R33, I will need to modify the sump on the engine. 

I did research online and can’t find much however I do know I have to weld up the front axle holes in the sump.. is that all? 

Or is there an adapter plate I can just buy to bolt the rwd sump onto the engine with a AWD bolt pattern? 

Cheers everyone

Need new pick up.

ASR do a RWD sump for GTR motors and supply you with a new pick up.

I bought one for my AWD Neo motor going into a RWD land boat.

Well I finally found what I was looking for.

when Nissan produced the GTS4 (AWD), they manufactured the block with both sump patterns (AWD and RWD) is the rwd will bolt straight on with a tiny chop to the baffle or a new oil pickup. 

The original DE (GTS) was only manufactured with the RWD pattern, which is why you can buy add on plates to attach a AWD sump, but not a RWD plate because it’s not needed, it’s already there on the GTS4 block. 

 

I tried looking for aftermarket ones ones online but couldn’t find anything of internet unless it was a 7 grand complete dry kit, I’ve just left it be and decided to bolt on the rwd sump, if worse comes to worse and I’m completely wrong, I’ll just use the AWD sump and weld up the axle holes!
