Oddmanout84 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 As stated in the title, I'd really like to keep my Nissan comp oil sump, but I don't have a damn thing that will clear the Nismo oil pan I've got. With my turbo setup this was easy since I fabbed everything after the turbine and nothing came close to it. With the (cheap) headers I've got now though, they rest on the pan before the 2-1 merge and prevent the headers from being bolted to the head. Just wondering what's available. Nissan comp is the only one I *know* will clear but hell, I'll take another header besides the Nissan Comp as long as it clears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddmanout84 Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 Still looking for a header that will clear my oil sump. Without it my car is stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT72Datsun Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I have a square port header that I had on a track car with twice pipes that I am no longer using. There are some pictures in the linked photo bucket account that show it clearing the steering and the comp oil pan. We switched to this header after I had already dimpled the comp oil pan on the header side to clear my MSA header. I can box up the header and collector flanges then you could have an exhaust shop fab what you need for you application. $150 plus shipping. Pm me if interested. http://s764.photobucket.com/albums/xx289/gt72datsun/zed/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OR-JO Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Not sure what this header is. Will send it to you cheap. Can you use it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddmanout84 Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Not sure if either of those will work, but I am pretty sure they're not Nismo/Nissan Comp extractors. I'd need a side view to see if they'd even work. Most headers seem to be designed to hug the side of the block until they're parallel with the oil sump. I need ones that either break away toward the trans tunnel before that or bump out to clear the bottom of the block by at least 3/4"-1" before heading back.
