me rikey velly much!

I don't reckon it'll work very well.........I won't be convinced until you show us pics of some speed bumps at a macca's carpark Awsome work.

yeh some of those speed humps can be tricky

thats crazy.

Bet it cost him a mint...

What nissan is there left of it apart from chassis and (some) bodywork?

Driveline? What engine is it running?

Nissan 4.2 not standard,nissan 5 speed soon to be auto,nissan t/case with gears, Nissan diff centres with rockwell swivel hubs custom built.As for body work it is all nissan we only trimmed the front gaurds and I cut the head lights up a little they are still nissan glass items.This thing is as much NISSAN as the next.Who dosnt change there suspension for after market stuff and trim there gaurds to fit bigger tyres. As for dallars yes it is worth a few.
As for it being in the new topic section I was trying to put it under the your nissan photos section but ended up here.Try to post some photos of it in action or you could go to offroarinages web site as it was in the tuff truck Thanks

Im presuming that used to be a GU.....that thing is sweeeet

how the hell do u go about doing a dry sump?

In a dry sump, extra oil is stored in a tank outside the engine rather than in the oil pan. There are at least two oil pumps in a dry sump -- one pulls oil from the sump and sends it to the tank, and the other takes oil from the tank and sends it to lubricate the engine. The minimum amount of oil possible remains in the engine.

Dry sump systems have several important advantages over wet sumps:

* Because a dry sump does not need to have an oil pan big enough to hold the oil under the engine, the main mass of the engine can be placed lower in the vehicle. This helps lower the center of gravity and can also help aerodynamics (by allowing a lower hoodline).

* The oil capacity of a dry sump can be as big as you want. The tank holding the oil can be placed anywhere on the vehicle.

* In a wet sump, turning, braking and acceleration can cause the oil to pool on one side of the engine. This sloshing can dip the crankshaft into the oil as it turns or uncover the pump's pick-up tube.

* Excess oil around the crankshaft in a wet sump can get on the shaft and cut horsepower. Some people claim improvements of as much as 15 horsepower by switching to a dry sump.

The disadvantage of the dry sump is the increased weight, complexity and cost from the extra pump and the tank -- but that's a small price to pay for such big benefits!

Here's some pics of the dry sump tank and breather system along with the radiator overflow tank I built for the racing Dodge Vipers. Both Vipers racing at the moment use them and we built 2 more for Rusty French's 2 racing Vipers and he let us know a couple of weeks ago he wants another one for another Viper he's getting built for racing so he's got 3 of them. Plus 2 or 3 935 Kremer Porsches and lots more toys as well.
