Greddy Oil Pan
 

I was looking on the GTM website and they have the Greddy High Capacity aluminum oil pan, is it a good upgrade? I ask because it seems that a lot of people here use oil pan spacers instead and yes i am planning to go force induction soon. Thanks for the help guys!

It's a great upgrade IMO. BUt if you plan to go FI I'd just wait till then to get it.

I would get an oil cooler instead, but it wouldn't hurt

I would get both they work well together.

I would love the extra quart of oil that it adds. it wont make a huge difference with cooling but having the extra oil is never a bad thing. dont porche's run 6/7 quarts of oil?

It does make a big difference that quart extra helps dissipate heat my temps so far have not gone over 205deg.

With no oil cooler? What ambient air temps?

I have a 25 row oil cooler,as far as air temps go ,I'm F.I so it wouldn't be the same.

Ah I thought you meant your oil temps were so low just from the oil pan, got me excited for a minute. Though ambient temp always matters as far as cool goes, the issue is just compounded when you add FI to the mix.

yea no kidding. i was talking about adding it WITHOUT an oil cooler.

You have to have a oil cooler at the very least to control oil temps,it should have been a red flag that Nissan put a oil "temp" gauge,

The reason why the oil temps are high is b/c the oil pan is very shallow so that most of the oil sits up inside the engine block with it being fed heat at a constant basis.

Thanks a lot guys for the info, just wanted to ask since i decided i want to start buying a few of the supporting mods first that are necessary or at least recommended for FI :tiphat:

Anyone have this Greddy pan with the ZSpeed undershroud with the oil change access door? I'm guessing this won't fit with that on... but then again if the Greddy pan is made to fit underneath the stock undershould then it should fit. Thoughts?

I have the Greddy pan and it fits with a stock splash shield,but it is close I was going to buy the Z speed under shroud but it is to close I thought it might rub so I didn't buy it.

I believe they made a V2 of the tray which is suppose to provide more room for oil pan spacers and bigger sways from rubbing.

There is plenty of clearance with the ZSpeed kit.

Does the service access still line up with the drain?

^^
I am not sure about that one. I will try and pull the access panel this weekend and see.

Just removing the ZSpeed center panel is 100% quicker than removing the entire OEM plastic shield. I am SC'ed and have an oil filter relocation kit so I have to remove the center panel for oil/filter changes anyway.

Appreciate it Wind. I have been looking to get this pan & the ZSpeed under pan at sometime.

I think one benifiet people forget about the oil pan upgrade being better than just a spacer is the bafles inside the pan keeping oil at the pick up tube.

Thanks again Wind

It looks doable but might be a tight squeeze for the filter. I never did an oil change stock. My first oil change was when my GTM kit was installed. So I have the filter relocation kit along with the oil cooler supplement.

Removing the access door give shows the GReddy drain hole and the sandwich plate, or where you oil filter would be.

The V2 370z Underpan has the same clearance as the Nismo pan shown above. So yes, it will work and fit.

beautiful. Thanks everyone for the information! Looks like my next mod is figured out! I think I'm going to see how my oil temps get with just the upgraded oil pan first, and if it works for my purposes then I will skip the oil cooler. (Mine isn't a track star by any means, but I occasionally drive spiritedly).

Do you know the size and thread of the drain plug of the Greedy oil pan ?

Thanks!

The drain is the same as our drain plug M12 x 1.25 the temp sensor threads are 1/8 NP which is the same as BSPT.

Thanks ! I thank about a NP thread regarding the blue plug without head in the other pan ;)

At the same time, Wind.Zero has a Nismo with a middle piece!
Just something to remember

I have the pan but it came with out the bolts to intstall it. Does any body have the bolt sizes that is required to install it.

thanks

Would like to know also!

Smartass tip of the day.

It’s easy, take one existing bolt out, measure the thread size at your locale hardware/ auto place ect, add the thickness of the new pan and a flat washer so you don't gouge the aluminum.

Nice pan!

Did your pan come with an extensions for the oil pick up ?

No they don't & no hardware either. The GTM pan is much better & includes all the hardware & a pick up tube extension. After seeing them both side by side, I got the GTM pan ;)
