Guest kickingriffin Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 how do you go about modifying the sump as it hits on the bmw steering rack and bmw subframe. on the bmw engines the drop on the sump is at the back of the engine and on the RB25det the drop is at the front, is there a way i can reverse the sump and extend the oil pick up pipe? was going to try use the bmw sump and basicaly extented the length of it and shape and redrill it to fit the RB25det engine, but this is quite abit of messing about and woulderd if you had to do any think with the sump to fit this engine in any other car? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhadman Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 A rear sump oil pan was made for the RB20 (and therefore will fit on the '25). It's the pan that most of us are using when swapping the RB into the S30. A quick search should net you more information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racinjitter Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 try the Z31 200ZR rear sump oil pan. Here is a link... http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=100614 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMWHYR0HEN Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 i think them wheels are some HREs.. nice chrome deep dish rims. ima buy me some WORK EQUIPS 17x8 in frnt and 17x10 rear. +15 in frnt and +0 in rear. nice deep dish rims,for my 280z some custome fabbed sheet metal flares. I'm also considering a set of EQUIPS, however not that big. This size would be ideal for me. 15 x 9 & 9.5. -6 & -13 offset they cost a pretty penny , too.

stony Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Read through the post on swapping an rb26 or rb25. sounds like alot of the stuff that aplies to that swap will apply to your swap. The rear sump being referenced is the sump from the japan only z31 that had an rb20 stock in it. there are a couple threads in here referencing parts number. Thats about as much info i can give you.

jdizzy204 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 most of us are in the usa and skylines arent sold here. but there are probably smalle emissions differences in the countries they are sold in. I highly doubt its anythin major. good choice on the wheels man, the car looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
