Thats hot, something the ka-t crowd can use.

[driftneil]

Thank god, I've been on the lookout for a baffled ka oil pan. First one I've ever seen.

[Hijacker]

It's about time

They look pretty hot, I first saw them like 6 months ago in a Superstreet mag but it took them like 3 months to post that on their website. I saw the mag and went scouring the net to find it but to no avail. The funny thing is that it uses an SR sump.

Glad they finally came up with something. It's wierd how the 240sx is as old as 20 years yet they are still way behind the curve on KA aftermarket support.

[roadboy240sx]

i want one

[KFL]

This has been available for a while..issue is $$ 335 for pan +200-400? for a sr sump. Maybe a bit lower 500-700 range. Not many kat guys will drop that kind of cash.. Moroso might be making one though hopefully by years end.a full plug n play setup.

[!Zar!]

That's because most Ka-T guys are too cheap to do anything right in the first place.

They rather blow up their motor than prevent it.

Because it's cheaper to buy another KA and boost it until it breaks than buying this oil pan.

If I had money sure I'd get it, but I'm happy with my stock pan. My pan has happened to come in contact with the ground on occasion, and I'd much rather have to replace a 30 dollar pan than a 300 dollar one.

Well what I meant was when I first saw this item advertised in a mag I went to their website and it wasn't on there, that was like summer of last year.

Especially since everyone wants to run their car so damn low that you can't fit a D-Cell battery between the oil pan and the ground.... but you can run a stock SR sump, you don't have to get the Greddy or knockoff one to use it.

Moroso might be making one

I sent them an email about a KA oil pan years ago..lol

So true

Maybe in the middle of nowhere.

But here in california, it's easier to find an SR than it is a KA.

Not to mention how much a KA costs.

Think about it. All the money/time/work it takes, who would want to remove/rebuild a motor every few days/weeks/months?

Trying to justify that would only prove how cheap most 240 owners really are.

But then after that happens, you see a thread saying, "KA-T's are unreliable and blow up".

Why? Because the person who built it is a du ma.

I wish people weren't poor, ghetto and, dumb.

But as they say 240 owners buy cheap twice... and three...four...

Not every "s" owner falls into that category.

People have various levels of passion, in different interests. Which plays with the fact that their cards of priority are placed in a substantial amount of diverse responsibilities and hobbies.

Not everyone is building a pro circuit or drag car, some of us just want to have fun and enjoy what we have. Nothing wrong with that. I don't think someone is dumb nor cheap because they don't see it as a financially smart decision to buy an oil pan worth more then the car.

So Zar, the only thing im getting out or your posts are that KA-Ts suck and people who boost them are idiots/broke/ghetto?

I think you should check out http://www.ka-t.org/If done right, a KA-T is definatly not something to sleep on. I'm actually considering building one myself, and no its not because im broke or ghetto but because it will produce some nice power and also be a fun project.

[ddgsxr504]

I called Zar out on another thread, I'm still waiting to see his car. I see alot of trolling and pretension in all the posts he pops into.

nope, same here in the midwest,i can call three people in my phone right now and find an rb,ca and sr for sale but no ka's. good thing they suck

[Chris28]

Haha I didn't realize I would cause such a ruckus. Here it's easier to find a KA than anything else, though SR's are fairly easy to find.

ddgsxr504 - I didn't even think about using a stock SR sump. That sounds more like the route I would go if I bought this pan.

I don't track my car or anything, I just drive it.

It is a very well designed piece, and for those who need it looks worth the money.

Zar I would like to see your car btw.

[Slappy]

Oil pans people, oil pans.

[ashibah83]

thats hot.....

i must have one for my KA-T...which im building right...for the last year

[driftneil]

The same here, it's been a year building my ka-t CORRECT!!!!

[sunnys14]

Zar is my friend, leave him alone.

KA-T's are powerful. I decided to stick with turbo KA's after 3 SR's.

I'm not biased, i've owned both and I just like the KA better <3

I never said every person who owns an s chassis was in that category.

It's just sad that now a days people rather save a dollar today instead of saving ten tomorrow. Know what I mean?

It just saddens me to see so many people who don't care about real quality. Only good enough.

I think it's sad that people get angry at me for spending money on high end wheels like I'm the idiot.

Sure, not everyone is building a high end race car, but certain people are trying to build a car just like a high end race car for only a fraction of the cost.

The OP is selling an oil pan to prevent problems in the future. What's wrong with that?

No, you're wrong.

I'm a fan of KA-T cars. One of my s14's were ka-t and made a nice amount of hp/torque. So don't get me wrong I love it. I just hate how people make ka-t sound so horrible like it will blow up in a few hours.

Most people feel that way because of what they hear/read about.

But what they don't know is that the person who blew their motor was most likely someone cutting corners. Someone who put together a ka-t setup and blew it because they boosted higher than their injectors/tune put out.

I called Zar out on another thread, I'm still waiting to see his car. I see alot of trolling and pretension in all the posts he pops into.

Which thread? I posted in a lot. I'm not trolling, only providing realistic statements that most people can't seem to grasp just yet.

I sold my last S-chassis. I moved onto bmw's/mercedes.

But every day I think about building another car.

Also, if you think I just troll, you're wrong. I provide information based off of real/personal experience.

If I suggest someone run or do so-and-so, I mean it.

nope, same here in the midwest,i can call three people in my phone right now and find an rb,ca and sr for sale but no ka's. good thing they suck

Yeah, it's getting pretty crazy out there now.

Zar I would like to see your car btw.

I don't have any.

Oil pans people, oil pans.

Yes. Lets get back to the topic.

All the focus is on me.

I feel somewhat special though. Something like a guest of honor.

I've been looking at this pan for awhile. Just for the record, it is only a partial solution. You still have to buy a lower sr oil pan. That being said they say it works with their engine brackets (the piece that goes between your engine mount and the engine) that also happen to lower the engine 3/4 of an inch. If you're looking for a little increased oil cooling/capacity AND a nicely lowered center of gravity then this seems like an ideal setup. If you've got the $$$.

After a second look, I'm curious if this is compatible with their lowering engine mount brackets. The sohc version says its not, while the dohc version doesn't mention it at all. I'm guessing clearances are tight. Maybe those with solid or stiffer motor mounts are ok, but stock could be an issue.

[sunnys14]

This is a good oil pan but I would never be able to run it because my oil pan touches the ground already.

You are correct you did not say, "every" s owner falls into that category, my apologies.

Yes i do understand, "Rome was not built in a day" I understand where you are coming from completely. Buying once.

Sometimes it takes people a few crappy products to learn that if they bought quality the first time none of the problems at hand would be present. I guess that is just one of the lessons people have to learn on their own. They can be told no but they will not be aware till the fire actually burns them.

I do not know that people are getting "angry" at you, maybe a form of jealousy is mixed in with that. Most people on forums, read > see > then judge. Not taking into account the persons age or where they are at in life. Like i said before everyone is different. I would not take offense to it (not saying you are, just saying i would not). I have gotten hammered a few times on here because i was more then willing to pay 750 for an OEM Aero K's Bumper. Or course it was used but it was in amazing condition and it is what i want. I prefer OEM because it lasts for the most part and does not get as low as some of these other aftermarket body parts. I am not that into the riding super super low thing i guess. Spending the extra money in the area of safety is never a bad thing if you ask me, i am talking about wheels of course.

Yes, a large number of people are trying to build super machines with low quality parts. Again though, it will be a lesson learned in the areas that quality was needed.

I know what the OP is advertising for his fellow Nissan enthusiasts, Though he did underestimate my intelligence at one time, for reasons need not be discussed i guess i will not dwell on them or start anything :P . There is absolutely nothing wrong with the product. This is something i would consider buying. I only glanced at your post once and for that i apologize i felt as if you were trying to generalize a community or group as a whole. So if i seemed abrasive i apologize, if i am going to be thrown into a melting pot due to assumptions i may as well speak for everyone else in my category. Oil pans, oil pans, oil pans. Carry on.

One Love,
