Access ports are great idea.

Most owners or enthusiasts will be on top of their oil changes and oil quality. Racers will be no problem since they will be changing their oil very often. The daily drivers could have problems with varnish and sludge if doing extended oil change intervals while using oils that are not up to it. It would be nice to be able to look in and see if the flaps are working or poke them with a rod to detect movement.

I am in West Chicago / Batavia. I could swing by and grab the pan from you when running a trip to the anodizer or something. Let me know!

Thanks

List updated, looks like we have made it past 10, so $695 it is!

Awesome. You guys are going to love the thing. Giving in and installing it to the car wont be easy when its such a nice desk/table-top piece.

Please anodize mine Nismo Red on the outside only but leave the inside of the groves natural including your signature mark if it can be done. I want to make sure whoever I run over knows it was a Nismo.

I think you were only partly serious, but just in case: We can only anodize them black or blue with our normal batches of parts. Any other colors will have an extra charge ($120 color setup at anodizer). Also, the entire part would be anodized as that is how the process works. To create natural areas would mean putting the part back in the CNC after anodizing and re-machining areas.

Can you anodize the pan before you put it in the CNC machine, then install it back on the CNC to cut the groves and your watermark in it? I am good with the extra $120.

I dont think we will do that, for a few reasons. By the time the part is back from anodizing, the CNC will have been setup for other parts, so it would take a few hours start to finish to do it. Also, I would have to make new fixturing the hold the pan in the CNC after anodizing as the existing fixturing would not work for that because the way it holds the pan in that position gets machined off later. Additionally there is always potential for messing up a part when setting up a new CNC operation.. in this case it would be a part that was otherwise finished and done, which means an expensive mistake. Adding to that, there is a chance of the anodizing chipping off around the edges of machining leaving a rough edge.

Unlikely, I think there will be more - The purpose of the pre-orders is mostly so I knew how many to produce. They are somewhat significant items for inventory and I wouldnt want to sit on 20 of them for years, and I wouldnt want to make 5 to have 10 more people ask for one a week later.

I will make a few more than the presales, and depending on how long it takes to sell those few will determine if and when another batch is made, and how many.
