I have an old Perfromance Metalcraft Jun Copy sump baffle sitting here out of another engine. It is basically an OEM windage tray with baffles and swinging gates welded to the bottom of it.

Are these okay, or would I be better off with the Tomei type baffle with rubber valves?

I would go for the trust extension and baffle kit, but don't much like the idea of losing ground clearance.

I reckon it would probably be ok by the sound of it. I mean i have a tomei one at home and it's just a little square to go around the pickup with 8 little rubber trapdoors on it and a windage tray to go on top.

If it is a copy of the jun baffle it's better that the tomei one in my opinion. When you fit the tomei ones you lose part of the windage tray setup, that being the piece that the jun style baffle is welded to. The tomei ones supply a thin plate that bolts in instead with no louvres etc..

The jun style baffle has 4 large trapdoors that allow a lot of oil to flow in around the pickup, the tomei one has some holes with rubber flaps that don't allow as much oil to the pickup.

Either work better than no baffle but I'd go for the jun style one. We've used them in 8 or so engines and not had a bearing problem since. Performance metalcraft does some nice work so I imagine it's very well made.

amaru on these very forums bought tomei baffles and will never use them. apparently they're garbage. he had custom ones made up.

I never said they were garbage, the only reason I didnt use it was because my engine builder (who happens to have posted in this thread) also had one for my engine which was a JUN copy and that ended up going in... if he didnt have that, I was going to put the Tomei ones in.

Theres nothing wrong with the Tomei ones, but the JUN ones are a bit better designed. Saying that though, Tomei wouldnt sell a product that doesnt work :P

    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

    • Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
