as for testing..you already know andrew has taken that spot ;)

Sounds good so far. Add in a baffle and I'm sold. There's a lot of guys who want a larger capacity oil pan that doesn't sit lower than stock. There's this one vendor who claims to have one, but they can't seem to get any parts out the door and no one has seen anything but a release thread about it.

of course we would add some awesome baffling!

I told him about baffling, and I said 2 qts more than stock is plenty, no? the 3 qt add on is a bit too bulky

2 qts is plenty. For those of us with an oil cooler, we'd be looking at 8.25 qts capacity with a +2qt pan. I'm ok with 8 qts. If 8 isn't enough, 9 isn't going to be. :rofl2:

Yeah, exactly my thinking. if we want more oil for cooling, we already have a 25 or 34 row oil cooler. So 2 MORE quarts would give 99% of us all the cooling we'd need

i will make this oil pan a reality. We are officially purchasing a Maxiem waterjet today.

You need a new free loading employee right? Because I'm driving to AZ right now.

AzSpeng 01-08-2014 10:53 AM

you're going to stop by right?

Chuck33079 01-08-2014 10:54 AM

This is shaping up to be the fastest idea-to-execution I've seen from people who make 370 parts. :rofl2:

Some people out there should take a few notes.

AzSpeng 01-08-2014 11:07 AM

Thanks! I'm working hard over here getting cad files in line. It's a little tough doing it on my own right now but things will get better in time. idea-to-execution times will get faster over the next few months.

I am sorry if this was mentioned earlier. I am on browsing on the phone and gigantic pictures make it hard to read lol. What is the status on the rad overflow tank? I think I saw oil caps too?

May I make a suggestion? How about power steering reservoirs to match the overflow tank? Again, sorry if it was mentioned before. I am just now seeing this thread, beautiful work!!

AzSpeng 01-08-2014 05:21 PM

No worries Ron. We have a power steering reservoir in the works to match the coolant tank. The prototype tank has been cut and will be test fitted in a 370z tonight hopefully (the top half anyways)

Ron 01-08-2014 05:29 PM

Music to my ears, thank you! If there's a list for those parts, put me in it! I have an SS overflow tank that I bought from UA Motorsports a while back. They obviously didn't think it through because it vents from the top and spits coolant all over the tank and my engine bay... -_-
