240Z Turbo Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 As some may know I am making 9 sheet metal oil pans for a RWD configuration for the RB26 motor. This mockup pan is being sent to Russ to verify its design. Once complete I will make 9 of these bad boys. The flanges have been cnc'd and all will be professionally TIG welded.

Guest Phailure Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 sweet... how much are you letting them go for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z Turbo Posted July 22, 2004 Author Share Posted July 22, 2004 ~$325 when the design is finalized. The final pans will use polished aluminum and the pattern is flame cut to exact tolerances. This is the initial mockup pan to verify dimensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aguyandaredhead Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 WIth the multiple bolt pattern will this bolt up to my Rb25det? And if you think so if I buy it and it does not will you take it back? If so I will take one. When will production on the final design take place? Thanks Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z Turbo Posted July 22, 2004 Author Share Posted July 22, 2004 I should have the pan back to me the week after next and will proceed from there. It will up to you to verify whether the pan will work. However, I will try to gather whatever information I can as to the fitment on an RB25det.

Clifton Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 If that would fit an RB25 and in a 240SX you could sell a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 nice looking pan james the pan will work only on the rb26. it will not work on the s13-s15 as it is a front sump and this design is a rear sump. the stock gtr pan is used when the 26 is put in the silvia. if you get a rb25 with a oil pan on it it should work. All the rb configurations in japan are front sump except the rb20 z31. Are all the pans spoken for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z Turbo Posted July 26, 2004 Author Share Posted July 26, 2004 nice looking pan james Are all the pans spoken for? Clint, this is very strange. Why would you post anything to me? You can make threats, curse at me and kick me off your Yahoo Group, but it doesn't work on HybridZ. I do not care for you Clint and will not be selling you anything. Go find someone else to take advantage of in the Zcar community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26240Z Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 James, what kind of pick up do I have to fab for the oil pan, and do you sell those also? Henry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z Turbo Posted July 26, 2004 Author Share Posted July 26, 2004 I believe Russ will be fabricating the pickups for this pan and I will add a baffle system based on his pickup. I will sell them with the pans at an increased price. I will have to wait until he does all this so the details can be finalized. FYI, I do not have one of these motors and was doing this to help out folks who are undertaking this swap. The quality of these pans will be as good as pans produced by Morosso, but at half the cost.

RB26240Z Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 I am very interested, will follow thread for updates. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 WTF!!!! So your gonna bring it here to? Well that shows me what kind of person you are. You did start the entire thing and did ask to be removed so go figure. At any rate i dont hold grudges but it looks you are the type that does. So you can keep your silly little pan I dont need it. It still looks good though. I still cant believe this is all over me bartering with you over the price of a turbo (or is it). And who did i take advantage of?????

Guest JAMIE T Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I can't tell in the pics, are the pan rails going to be 3/8" or similar? Which I'd recommend for that item. BTW, they do look nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z Turbo Posted August 11, 2004 Author Share Posted August 11, 2004 Update Russ ran a trial fit of the pan and it fits in his setup. Clearance between pan and front crossmember is about .5". He did state the pan had to be put into place once the motor was in the car. No way to get it in if you are putting in engine/trans as one because of the angle required. Also, it will be a good idea to purchase the mounts from Brad D to set the motor back as far as possible so you have the proper pan clearance. He will be making the oil pickup and I will duplicate them along with a baffling system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zline Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 way rad. how about doing RB25DE surge tank style intake manifolds? also, intercooler cores with endtanks welded for V MOUNT piping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z Turbo Posted September 1, 2004 Author Share Posted September 1, 2004 I am doing a custom intake for JTaylor's RB25DET if he ever gets off his rear and ships me the intake runners . What is a V-mount intercooler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zline Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 vmount is an intercooler that his horizontal in the engine bay with the radiator below that so they both get good airflow with proper ducting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtcookson Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 i've been looking to make a sheet metal oil pan for other engines i have but don't really know where to start. if you don't mind me asking, what thickness is the sheet metal you use and is that aluminum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z Turbo Posted October 5, 2004 Author Share Posted October 5, 2004 1/8" PVC aluminum. PVC is just protective coating that is peeled off so the pan is very shinny. The pans are almost all done, just waiting on the damn 304SS .75" tube for the custom oil pickups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
