alexideways Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 How does the rear sump pan deal with the trnny reinforcement brackets as I'm thinking about building my own pan and wanted to know what to do about those? Sould I build the rear of the pan from thicker material? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumnhammer Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 There is no interference at all, since they bolt to the block not the oilpan, FWIW if you get your pan from the Nissan dealer in the sticky, It's pretty reasonable pricewise and far easier then making one. Why bother fabricating one if there is a bolt on solution thats reasonably cheap?? Unless you want greater capacity or more baffles or something I wouldn't bother.

Chris Rummel[/quote'] Just a reminder... the rear sump oil pan for the rb26 is not bolt on. It will bolt on to an rb25 however. it will bolt to the pattern but a custom oil pickup needs to be made and the side of the pan needs to be clearanced so the pickup will fit.

Rumnhammer Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Modding a pan that bolts up and making a pickup is still easier then fabbing up an entire oilpan. I'd still go that route, even if it was for an RB26. Chris Rummel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexideways Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 Thanks guys, I guess you're right, it's just that I love to fabticate. But I'll check on those pans at my local Nissan dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stony Hi Stony I havent made the extended pick up for the RB26 yet, but I have had the Z31 sump bolt up ok once I removed the RB26 baffle plates. Are you saying that the Z31 sump has to modified on the pickup side to allow the extended pickup & tube to fit in? Do you have any photos of the sump mod you made & extended pickup? regards Mike Rowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I removed the baffling also but my pan still hit the girdle. i also had to beat out a small section where the sump bolts in to clear the pan. then had to use some different bolts to clear the small hump i neat out. (cant see that in this pic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
