Yeah that is what I thought too. But this engine is out of a 98 Stagea so there is no plug on it. I was like dam. I see the spot where it was suppose to be but it is solid. I will ship it back tomorrow I guess. Hey can you make a steel braided power steering hose. I have the 300zx Z32 and my power steering was on the passenger side. So now I need to get it on the drivers side. Someone said I could bend the current hose to make it work or get a steel braided one made. I rather just do it right and get it over with. lol

Sorry about that my brain was on lock up on that one. I meant to say that I do not have a spot for the dip stick. I seen on some blocks they have a plug on the rear part of the block. Mine does not have that. So any suggestion on how to get a dip stick/

Hey Pat the pan fit great and the pickup was dead on but I just realize something. My block does not have the spot to put the oil pick up in the back. Any suggestion anyone.

Man I hate those it took me two weeks of trying to get it out finally I use a dremel and cut it out. If you grinding it out into three sections you can then use a hammer and tap each corner and it will cave in then all you have too do then is pull it out took me like 45 minutes. I tried the slide hammer and the bushing pulling tool and could not get them to work. So just another option I guess.

So any idea how much oil it holds.

So do you have any final pics for all those looking to get one later. I have had 5 people asking me about that 200zr pan I had and I directed them to come on here and check out your work.

Other than that cover is there any other way to tell the differences between a RB NEO and and regular. There is an engine on EB claiming to be a Neo. But it does not have the cover and its identicle to mine. I assumed mine was a RB out of a Nissan Stagea because of the ECU and some of the newer sensors. But this engine online and from a good seller is claiming to be a NEO. So is there any way to tell by looking other than the cover itself.

Yep same here on the VGs especially with stock radiators or old ones.

They say the same thing on VGs. But I know guys who have run those clutch fans for years without the shroud. I did but I also had a very nice upgraded radiator.

Dam I wish I got that one lol. Mine came out of one of those station wagons. So on the plus it is a 98 model and have some of the newer sensors, but dam I want all that other stuff you got. lol

Well Once I get mine in the car I will be smiling and once I can get it to crank, I will smile even harder. Lol. Three bad VGs in row and I said screw it and got me a RB.

Well I guess I dont have too paint it now. Lol

I will check into those. Yeah some of those Ausi are the ones claiming 350+ on all stock components. Hard to believe. But I have seen some on here claiming very high numbers too. So I dont know.

Well the pan looks great especially considering it want cost a 1000 dollars. Lol. And it should be way better than stock.

My friends say there is no way I can get 350 on RB25 without changing the injectors and turbo. But I have seen some people post around 370 with stock turbo and injector.

So how safe would I be if I only want about 450Hp and what mods do I need to get me there. Whats the most I can expect with 550 injector, nistune ecu, fmic, and running about 12 psi on a stock turbo.

Now I read somewhere about a breather being in the oil pan. Does the stock pan have breathers on it. I know where they are on a VG I have no idea where they are on a RB. Just wondering I thought that your pcv works as a breather well at least on a VG. I have seen pics of oil pans with breather valve installed in them. Is that necessary.

Wow that is a very nice job. I can tell you now you will be getting a lot of business after this. That is one hot and professionally done looking pan. I am glad I found you that day instead of hacking up the pan I had. Very nice. Man I wish I could weld.

So with a big oil pan and more oil will that prevent that problem I heard about with RBs once they get to a certain horsepower. I heard that RB25 usually throw a rod around 500 and Rb26 around 600 with stock internals. Or is that a some type of tuning issue and not associated with the amount of oil flowing around the engine.

Dont really know. I have never bought a used one before so I figure I would throw it out there and see what pops up. I was going to go with a lightweight but I figure no need to wasted the money for the power Im going to be with.

Oh is that template any help at all. I was thinking about taking a pic with my camera the exact size then using that. I was trying to do that with the pic up top I was getting close but not exact.

Nice you are going to become the official RB pan maker on here with all this dedication and great work. Dam too bad I cannot weld I would have myself a great christmas making pans. Lol.

Looking to buy a RB flywheel stock or afermarket in great shape.

Looking good. Hey was that template any kind of help. I figure with that and some of other pics you have should be close. I would drive to GA with engine. But man those jokers are heavy. I thought the VG was heavy this is not too much lighter and someone jacked my engine hoist out of the yard. lol

Hello Pat I have another template I will scan it and email it to you. I will try and match it up to a pic first. So I will do that on lunch break in about an hour.
