They were next to machine shop that had several CNC machines. I have a friend who has 2 CNC machines. If someone could get cad drawings I might be able to get him to do limited run.
The machine shop next door might still have a copy of the files laying around, although you'd still need to deal with getting permission from whoever technically owns the CAD info (someone has to be the eventual beneficiary of whatever AMPerf formerly owned).

There's a little more to it than just running the CAD file, some parts are hand assembled such as the 4 one-way gates. Without the original plans or a piece to reverse engineer it would take some work.

Sorry to hear this part is no longer available. As I get ready for some winter mods, I was thinking about this as a first step.

The other main part that is needed.... And is actually the weaker part... Upgraded oil pump gears.
In the end the best overall solution was switching over to a dry sump system.

Do you have a source on a ready-to-go dry sump kit that fits the stock VQ37VHR? :)

Dwnshift 09-14-2012 09:26 AM
Yes drop me a pm.
It's not cheap.

Knowing Nissan. It's grap your chest, and fall over dead when you see the price. :rolleyes:

Check with daily engineering for dry sump:

VQ-37

They make really nice stuff. Never used their Nissan products but I have installed their Viper parts and they were top notch.

Dwnshift 09-14-2012 01:35 PM
That is THE one to use... and what we run.
;)

ChrisSlicks 09-14-2012 01:44 PM
BJ, were you able to lower the engine any with the dry sump or are you forced to run stock engine and transmission mounts?

FYI, I have one of the AM oil pans left. If anyone is interested in picking it up please PM me.

Yeah it doesn't look cheap :). I'm really not at a point where I'd even consider it, just interesting to know about.

Guessing $5K+ just for pump and pan, still need pulley, tank, lines and fittings.

Here are a few photos of the AM pan, i'm going to be away from my PC this weekend so I apologize if I don't respond to questions quickly.
