spacecase70 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hey guys, we are finally getting to work on the FoxZM hot rod Z! It is a 1970 240Z with 43,000 original miles, and was highly modified for playing on the track. We are posting pics for the build and posting answers to any questions reguarding the pics, and asking for advice( attn. BRAAP) concerning this endeavor. So please enjoy the pics we will be posting more to come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartmerr Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Could anyone please Identify the oil system on this motor. It was on the car when I got it and I have NO IDEA who built it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennysgreen280zt Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Interesting, the oil system looks like an external sump to a stock style pump. Can you take some pics of the front of the car? It looks like it has a pretty interesting grill/foglight setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xnke Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Looks like a Nissan external oil pickup. It's in the How to Modify book, I'll look it up and get you the Nissan PN for that part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xnke Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Ok, that oil pump is a stock oil pump, with the bottom half of the housing replaced by a Nissan Motorsports Part Number 15015-GC002. The usage and installation of that part is detailed in Frank Honsowetz's "How To Modify your Nissan and Datsun OHC engine", Nissan Part Number 99996-M8012. (the book has a Nissan part number, too.) The oil pan and pickup look like Nissan Motorsports parts, as well. There are pictures of this setup in the book, as well. You'll note that the oil pump has an open AN-8 line on it...that goes directly to the external oil filter, then to an oil cooler, then gets routed back into the side of the block where the oil filter would thread on...you may want to double check that you have all the pieces there, since you have an oil filter screwed onto the block. This oil pump and pan combination will not work with the stock oil filter, you'll need an external filter, and either a adaptor plate or a thread adaptor to go from the block to the oil line fitting. All this is detailed in the book, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzofsak Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Do you have a part number for the book, is that available through Nissan? Sorry for the noob question but I am a little new to the older Nissans/Datsuns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zclubhouse Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Do you have a part number for the book, is that available through Nissan? I got mine off of amazon. Pretty good resource, not a detailed how to, but a great read for the overall theory and basic applications broken down by category. Worth having in my opinion http://www.amazon.com/Modify-Your-Nissan-Datsun-Engine/dp/1931128049/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1258605604&sr=8-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecase70 Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 in reguards to the oil filter you saw on the block, i put it on fr cleaning the block. we have all the parts including to dual oilfilter setup with oil cooler too! we had noticed when we were cleaning the oil pump, it had the initials D. M. stamped into it, and there is alot of welding on the pump for the fittings used. we were hoping someone could identify the initials to find out who built the pump. thenk you for the part numbers though! that is a big help for replacing the part if ever needed!

spacecase70 Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 and the intake has a C wraped around the T and a styled "E" using part of the T cast into it! so its a CTE manifold looks like an MSA intake but its not, much older.

PanzerAce Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Damn...the more I think about that oiling system, the more it seems to be the solution I'm looking for on my LD...anyone know about what the price on the pan + pump housing combo would be?

That is the information that I am looking for, Who what were when and how. If you want to pay me a lot of money I will see if I can reproduce them.

z-ya Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I guess I don't understand the advantage of an oil system like that. It still is a wet sump. I don't know that I would trust the modifications to the stock pump. Unless you plan on doing serious road racing with it I'd use a new stock pump, pickup and pan. If you can use that pan with a stock pickup then at least you can get the better baffling if you at least are doing auto-X or track days. A full road race L6 usually has a dry sump and external aftermarket oil pump that runs off the crankshaft pulley with remote filters.

280zNHChris Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Baddog Parts just dropped one of those oil pans off to me and I blasted it clean yesterday. Ask him if he knows where they are from. His has the same gated baffling system but is a little different layout, pan looks identical though. I will post a photo tomorrow when I get back to the shop.
