motoman Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 So i have been thinking since the rear stump oil pan is NLA. Would it be possible to to cut and widen the front stump to fit in the car with the cross member still in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi303 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Probably easier to cut the front sump off and plate the hole, then cut the pan base off the rear and weld the front sump onto the new hole you made there. That's been written up on here somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibbon Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 i cut the whole flange off mine and braised the entire sump on backwards. had to cut out some of the windage tray and knock a few of the fins down to clear the rotating assembly. cost me $20. its not the "proper" way to do it, but I've been driving happily for 6 months now. same deal with the oil pickup. cut, turn, weld. done. edit; kiwi303, whereabouts are you from? i'm a Hamiltonian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motoman Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 Gibbion: That is what i was thinking of doing to mine. It seems like it would still work well as long as you do a good welding job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T S30 H Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Awaiting pictures also. Also, all the guru's out there, please clarify. Can I run the z31 Turbo oil pan and pick up?? If so, are all z31 turbo oil pans the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat1 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Here is some pics of mine I made. I was told it wasn't going to work but it works great. I used the stock rb20 oil pan flange and made the rest. build cost was nothing.. It holds 7.5 qts of oil and oil psi is perfect during high g turns and high speed to all out braking.

motoman Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 What did you do about the pick up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat1 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 What did you do about the pick up? I cut up the pick up and added a couple inches and made it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKLamb123 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 So how much would you charge to make another. Lol. Also will this pan and pickup work with a RB26 in the original oil pickup location. I have a 300zr pan and pickup, but my engine was a RB25 awd so the pickup needs to modified. I was thinking about just selling what I have and buy a upgrade pan with pickup.

Better to find someone to modify the AWD pan. I have a couple of those pans. Ron at Venus says he has a guy that can do the modification for pretty cheap, but I never got any farther looking into that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to build another, I have a brand new tig welder and plasma I would like to use. What engine do you have? I have a extra rb20 block I can use it to mock up the pan and pick up. I know the rb26 is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a extra rb20 block I can use it to mock up the pan and pick up. I know the rb26 is different. Yeah I have a RB25 but it was one of those that came with awd and the oil sump location is the same as a RB26. So I cannot just attached the 200zr pickup like I read in some of the post. So I either need a pickup that will work or a pan and a pickup. I figure I could always sell the 200zr pan and pickup for what I paid easily. The problem is I have a 300zx so I need a rear sump pan so I can sit it as far back as possible so I can still have AC and not cut up the nose bar to fit a radiator. So basically I need a pickup that is straight from the original location on a awd block to the spot on the rwd block. I am trying to not do an external pickup or cut up the pan to get this to work. Hey what part of Georgia do you live in Im in SC just outside of Columbia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat1 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Pat, How much will you charge for the job? It all depends on the price of the sheet metal. I would need you to send me your old pan and pick up off your rb. I cut the old pan up and use the flange. You can see what I did in the pics above. I can start the job as soon as I get the pan. I would say I could duplicate the one in my pics for around 350-375.00 with a week or less turn around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get me some pics of the pick up location I could see what I can do. I can build anything you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I think if you added trap doors to each one of the sides that opened inward it would work alot better at keeping oil around the pickup.. good job BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RKLamb123 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Well hell I may just sell mine and get yours, but I need a another pan too. Lol.
