This is great! I have the JWT spacer currently since I have turbo lines plumbed in there. I wish I didn't have to re drill this one. Any chance of having it predrilled prior to shipment? I would be interested in this pan plus the billet gears.

In a week or two we will compile the list of who all is *IN* and I will then propose the manufacturing schedule and take material only deposits. I will probably produce 3-4 more than what is pre-ordered to keep around for late arrivals.

Yes I would be willing to CNC the ports for a rather small labor charge. (It will entail mounting in the CNC from positions otherwise unnecessary)

Well actually, maybe I should consider just making it part of the standard process. I dont know. Generally I would prefer they not be there if I dont need them... but I am thinking that since there are moving parts in there, perhaps some big ole -10 ports would be nice to have as little windows to look in and check on things every few oil changes? I cant imagine what to see, but I would look anyway LOL

This is art, but has anyone built a baffle for the stock pan. I may be able to afford that. I use to have access to NC mills. I miss them.

phunk, I TOLD you that there would be interest in the pan. And the price. That's damn good. The AM Perf. pan sold for $1200 new. Used ones was going for $500+ IF you could find one.

So how much are you talking when referencing material costs? I could probably do this right now then. Pay for the material right now and upon completion pay for the remainder? I would need a hard "deposit/material" price to run by the boss lady.

I think I am in. How did you deal with the sealing surface at the pan lip? Did you notch out a groove for the silicon sealant for a better seal? This is something Nissan has always done on timing covers and 2-piece oil pans.

I would probably just round it out to $100 even. Like when I did this with the road race pumps, I would set a sizable amount of time to pay off the part after production so people can fit it into the budget without forcing it through. I would probably hold the pan up to 12 weeks after production with the deposit.

I considered doing that, but I didn't do it. But I sure can if you like that! I can take the same ball cutter that worked in the heat sinking surface on the bottom, and run it a little less deep to create a valley inbetween the bolts.

Another thing I plan to add to the production pan is a recess in the flange for pounding in a pry tool for removal without banging up visible surfaces. I also thought about possible a threaded hole or two to threads bolts into that push on the upper pan to ease later separation.

Thanks for the text message emotion support! From what I found on the forum, I think AM only made 4 pans for customers

Also thanks to FL 4motion for reminding me to make this last week. I had the material sitting around forever.

Yes, I would like that. I also like the idea of at least 2 pry points to get the pan off if needed without damaging it.

Far as supporting mods go, Is this pan more for people who intend to track their Z's at anything above 7,500 rpms?
