I can also confirm this on a G. Gale and I both run the BP Turbo kit, which comes with the JWT pan spacer. I'm running the V2 ZSpeed Undershroud and have no pan clearance issues.

Website says there is room to access filter as well. Have this on my Z32 and will be ordering for my 40th AE.

i have this on my Z and changed the oil and filter using the trap door. Removing the shield was not necessary.

Thanks for the info, mr.gale.

Great write-up mr. gale.

Sorry to jack the thread, but could you please provide some information on your ramps?

kenchan · 08-18-2013, 07:36 PM

Raceramps with extensions.

^^ This.

I have the 56" ramps though because shipping the 67" ramps to Canada is ridiculous. This set up works perfectly, my front lip doesn't rub at all going up or down... the air deflectors on the other hand... being 2" off the ground, they hit everything.

It's also worth mentioning that I have an oil pan spacer on my car and the Z-Speed shroud clears it easily.

The oil pan spacer was gonna be my next question, I want to get one and I just now realized it might not clear the diffuser. Thanks for the info

I survived Zdayz 2013... (barely)

I've got the black one with SS hardware. I love it.

If you have an oil cooler with a sandwich adapter, you may need to take the whole panel off to change the oil. I've got a GTM oil cooler/sandwich plate, and that filter isn't coming off through the trap door.

Just ordered mine today! Seeing as I will be doing my own maintenance from here on out I did not want to have to remove the crappy plastic OEM one every time. Once was enough during the sway bar install. This adds much better protection and makes oil changes a snap....if the filter isn't relocated.
