Guest Anonymous Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 I got a problem!! Im trying to put a L28E with a deep dish oil pan on it in my 09-80 280zx 2+2 and its not going in, it keeps hitting the center link on the steering linkage. I looked at my Buddys 83 280 zx coupe and hes got a rack n pinion system and I have the gear box system. The question is are there two different style oil pans one for the rack and one for the gear box setup? Is there only one that will fit this year of the zx. I have never seen this before. Please I need to know if there is another oil pan? Thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Gad Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 There are 2 oil pans for the 280zx. In one the bottom of the pan is longer (forward) than the other. I ran into the same problem when doing a swap for a buddy of mine. You have to grab the other style pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
