RB26powered74zcar

I received my custom powder coated sump, made by Rips in NZ today. It's a definite work of art, and I'm confident my oil pressure drop during braking, will now cease. I have a alum Thagard pan, which is a nice piece to base from, but I failed to set up the sump portion of it properly, causing oil pressure drop on braking. I saw a example of Rob's work when member gmac708 posted pics of his pan being fabbed by Rips, so I went ahead and bit the bullet and had mine made. My pan is some what of a out of the ordinary design, due to the fact I am using a fitting off the Greddy oil pump I'm using, to make it external pick up. This way, my pick up tube exits the side of the pan (AN-12) then connects to the pump under the air con bracket to pull the oil from the pan. Below is some pic's of my new Rips pan.

Hey Tim, I saw this post in a seat thread here http://forums.hybridz.org/showpost.php?p=802417&postcount=67

Nice job on the install... which Electromotive are you using?

Very nice work... I'd be proud to sport that work of art!

Wow, that looks to be a great price for what you get (if thats possible these days). I just might pick up the EGT and the 3 bar map meter... Thanks for that link!

If anyone has this pump and decides they can do with out it for now, please advise. I need one (or two if you have). Also, I have a brand new in box Pierberg pump I bought from Corkey Bell, I'll trade for the Bosch. Reason is, I need a pump with AN capability's on the inlet/outlet, and the Pierberg has only the outlet able to use AN, the inlet is for a reg hose clamp.

Changed my mind. NLA

Makes no sense to me...

:lmao:

I'm watching this thread for answers. I now run twin Walbro's and they sound funny sometimes, so I want to switch over to 044's, but need AN fittings on the inlet/outlet. If anyone knows the correct fittings to buy, please do tell...

Nice... but I really like your sway bar....

My Ripps pan should be here shortly. I ordered mine soon as I saw gmac708's pics, but mine will be slightly different due to the fact I'm using a external oil pick up line from the pump to the pan. I'll post up some more shots once it's here... click-em

Happy B-day, and hope you have a grand ol time today Dan!

Sorry, I have no clue since mine is all gone, but have you asked on the other GT-R sites? Those guys know these engines top to bottom...

My TT RB26 has quite a bit of go available, and I have noticed no difference in handling since I removed my rear sway bar (for the same reasons). I think your reluctance to remove it is a normal concern, but I say, give it a try if all else fails...
