since when is hp proportionate to the amount of oil you want to hold? what if he's curcuit racing and wants a better baffled sump for hard cornering and bigger oil capacity for greater cooling?

Yes charlie i was only stirring thats all,i have sold my starion after owning it for about 20years,i kept the motor,turbo,etc for my other project,one of the reason i sold is,that rear end is to weak,i would have to put another type of diff in it,as i was not going to waste my time on the usa rear end,i would have got a hi-lux diff or something else or i would get a auto to suit my car that would cost to much,using anti-lag off the line and a clutch that got no friend.So no hard feeling to anyone.

I wish that guy made sumps for the g54b. That thing could save a lot of g54b from spun rod bearings lol. Oil starvation from lack of oil in the pan seems like a huge problem witht eh 2.6 when tracking
Awesome build btw. I didnt even know you coud still buy new sus parts.

They arnt new suspension parts. I removed the complete rear subframe from a parts car and used the industrial shot blaster at work. It brings everything back to bare metal, no paint or rust.
Then i paint it using the industrial paint we have at work which is quite hard wearing.
New parts are the poly bushes, 18mm swaybar from later model car, poly torque tube mounts (GB on SQC) and when i get around to it, new wheel bearings, uni's for the driveshafts to go with my rebuilt torque tube and 3.9 LSD that are in the car at the moment.
So i will end up with a better then new factory rear end.
