Well, seeing as I had to notch my z32 crossmember to have the oil pan fit, is there any other oil pan except greddy out there that is after market, and is it really necessary, the stock pan fits perfect right now? Yes its in a 91 300zx. (running)

Tomei makes an oil pan ! Your old vg30de oil pan has a large oil pan, where the sr20det has a small oil pan. If your racing where you have to turn fast than a larger oil pan with baffles would make your SR love you alot more !!! Please post up some pics of your engine bay, The space and ease of motor work will make more follow this swap direction !Every time you post I miss my z32 a little more!!!

For someone reason there was restricting in the lines. There was a piece of shop towel in the pump go figure. I just got it tuned a little and turned up the boost to 13 pounds. MMMMM car feels awsome. -Ricky

The greddy pan (if known to clear) is the best bang for buck. For those that doubt it's toughness, I went flying off track once, obviously hit the ground with it, and didn't miss a beat.

Also, I'm interested in pics....never seen such a thing! Obviously it's got to be MUCH easier to work on than the VG...what a nitemare they are!

Not sure what turbo, guy said it was a t28 front trim with a bigger wheel in the exhaust side. Yea custom motor mounts/driveshaft/transmission mount/shifter/exhaust/ic piping/ etc... Wiring is good, Iam trying to figure out how to install my dakota digital tachometer sensor, to advance the tach some.

that is way bigger then a t28, looks like a turbonetics t3/t4. good turbo for the set up, but you need alot more stuff to run that turbo, injectors, maf, alot of stuff.
