These look very well made. I like the fact that it slopes and extends all the way to below the radiator and not just below the oil pan. My question is how messy does it become when changing the oil? It seems kinda hard to get to the drain plug. A pic directly below the drain plug (KA w/ stock oil pan to be more specific) would really help me make a certain decision on a purchase. Thx.Nacho

Nacho, It looks like you know about similar skid plates from other companies. Yes, this one stretches all the way from radiator support to steering rack. Oil shouldn't touch the panel when you drain the oil. Drain hole is good for both KA and SR. I took extra time to come up with good size and location of the drain hole. This pictures is my car w/KA and I have aftermarket drain plug, but still it'll give you an idea where the plugs are going to be. You will NOT have any problem using your wrench and draining the oil, and it's not going to be messy at all.

I have one of those plates from way back when they first came out, they are great, cept I'm modding mine so that it doesn't get in the way of the engine crossmember for jacking up the car - it's doesn't "really get in the way", but I don't like it being there where I can't line up the crossmember w/ the jack easily, haha.

I think you can cut the rear and just use 3 bolts to install, one front and two on tension rod brackets.

Sorry. I have no idea. I didn't have an access to s13 with CA when I developed it. I wonder if you have a friend with KA and compare the locations of oil drain plug. ***** Tomei Oil Pan Owners ***** Tomei oil pan looks similar to GReddy oil pan and someone who has Tomei oil pan on his SR bought Version II like 2 days ago. He will get back with me with some installed pictures as soon as he receives it.

Wait... If you stick some cardboard between the panel and cross member, you should be able to jack it up the cross member with no problem. Just think about it before you cut it. It's not going to hurt to have extra coverage under the cross member. I think you can put that piece of card board when you install the panel, and just leave it there.

No it'll be way off. GReddy oil pan drain hole is far out and SR is right below the engine. KA drain plug is in between SR and GReddy drain plugs. I'll try to post some pics tomorrow.

I have considered making one of these myself, but as I have no access to a bending brake/laithe, I doubt I would make something as thorough as what you have here. Expect to here from me later this week for a version 1 plate. Don't be charging me state taxes either dammit!

reccakun08, sorry for the delay. I'll try to post pics tonight.gumby, no state tax, so don't worry. Here's better news. I'll knock off $10, so $80 shipped for the version 1 and $90 shipped for the version 2. I only have like 6 or 7 version 2 left, so order while you can.

Version 2 for GReddy oil pan
 Version 1 on top of Version 2. Holes are not even close since GReddy oil pan stretches toward outside and front.

Steel might give you more problem because it'll rust. This is aluminum, but it's still pretty thick and sturdy. I haven't received any complains regarding thickness or fitment. If you don't like it after you receive it, please return it. I'll give you a refund(minus shipping) right away.
