rb26 custom rear sump

[pauls]

Hey Guys,

 

Looking for options when it comes to rb26 rear sumps.

This will be going into a z31 - not sure how much difference if any there is in clearance for the same into a 240/60 etc.

 

Cheers,

Paul

Hi pauls

mate its a custom sump time the 26 needs lots of oil , at full rpm they drain the sump so fast , a good sump has at least 7.5 L ,Also the picup in the pan is a tight fit with rear pan ,best mod is to fit external oil feed line from the oil pump to the bottom of the pan ,

Cheers, yes looking to hold more oil and custom pickup.

debating a modified gtr sump or custom. Was hopeful to find someone who has made these in a rear sump setup before as will be quicker than have my guy fab one up from scratch.

Have made a few ,, its not as easy as some think ,,, there is many hours in it and you have to start from scratch ,, shaping the stock one is hard as the diff gets in the way , so you have to cut that out first ,then cut the down to the rails and start fab work ,,, and ,there hard to weld there mongrels for cracking and moving ...

Have a look on Ebay USA. I saw about 10 new custom sumps for Rb swaps by CX racing. 8L from memory, gates and all - $450 ish + $120 postage -  which is a steal...

 

Heres the link. ( I converted an RB30 patrol sump for my swap but thinking about grabbing this also)

Best (easiest) solution yet!

Thanks for the replies.

I emailed them a few weeks ago asking if will suit z31 - and they didn't know :-( So my concern is whether this sump will clear the z31 crossmember.

Has anyone here compared the difference in clearance when it comes to an rb26?

If I could get a measurement of below would allow me to figure out if it will fit with no fab work;

1. crossmember to sump

2. front or rear of motor to engine mounts

 

thanks again.

Given that a 200ZR sump fits and RB conversion in an S30.

There's a strong chance it would fit.

Buy it, try it, if it doesn't fit, I'm sure you'll be able to onsell it.
