Tony D Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 ARE Dry Sump Pans Fit. But you need the Dry Sump Setup to go with it! $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clear2me Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 Hello Tony I am looking for one like Arizona or nissan comp oil pan Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger280zx Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Just move the engine back and the pan will fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) Nothing exists in the USA. Maybe Japan, but I doubt it. Custom Sheetmetal Fabrication is the next step. As someone who has seen how much you have to cut out of a standard sump to make a Comp Pan Fit, "moving the engine back" is not quite correct. "Notch the Firewall, Move the Engine Back, Shorten the Driveshaft 2", Alter the rear Transmission Mount/X-Member and Shift Lever" would be more correct. One does not simply "move back" the engine to clear those pans the way they are contoured. Cutting the pan and rewelding is possible. Ask anybody who thought the Nissan Comp Pan would fit in an S130! Different animals altogether... Edited July 27, 2014 by Tony D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roger280zx Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 IMO the easiest and cheapest way to cure the high g oiling issue is to use a stock steel pan and add your capacity, trap doors, baffling, whatever else you wanna do. That is what we are doing. Dry sump would be ideal, but for now stock pan heavily modified will work. The "move the engine" comment was sarcasm btw.

Tony D Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Aviad should be able to make one--they started with new Nissan Pans and altered accordingly. The internet is full of kids who will read this and not get the sarcasm when not appended with the '#sarcasm off' hashtag... It's the same crowd who explains how "Freeze Plugs save the block if it gets too cold! #Sarcasmoff" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-ya Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 If you are road racing, you can start with an accusump to see if it fixes any starvation problem. If you are just looking for bling under the car, then I would get a stock one powdercoated to your liking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
