Hi guys just though id post up 2 oil pans that ive been working on. One was a complete failure it couldnt even fit in our r33 skyline. But the other one fits perfectly. Only the trap doors and extended oil pick up has to be made and i can close it up. Note i suck at welding so this was a first for me.

Please let me know what you guys think. I have some race fab oil pans for my rb26 and i was planning on buy one for my rb25 but takes to long to reach and i just wanted to give it a try. Oil pan on the right is a disaster. I suspect that the good creation on the left will hold 8 to 9 quarts of oil. In addition to the oil pan like i have poated before we made a custome oil drian that we made to flow the extra oil from the rear of the head. All were made from stainless steel. Sorry but i dont have photos of the drain with the number 10 fittings welded to it. I just have photos of the mod and the box we made. Oh we make these boxes to catch a large amount of oil and use the weight of the collecting oil to force itself back to the oil pan. From what we have tried this works the best keeping in mind we alsovent the block for breathing. We also return from both sides of the block from this box. From my personal experiments the rb25 has a way bigger oil blowing out issue than a rb26. I feel its because of the 3 oil entries to the head even if its restricted. So here goes

Finally finished the oil pan, tested for leaks and juat have to pain it now. It holds 9.5 quarts of oil. After i was finished i only found 3 very small leaks not to bad for a first time welder:D

I also extended the oil pickup. If you look closely to one of the photos its a perfect fit. Center and to the very bottom of the oil pan. I was very happy how it came out.

Thats all i had. Wasn't a problem really to weld mate. And yes stainless to mild. Though it would have been a problem at first. But my test pan that came out like crap was fine strength wise. Practice a bit and got it. This oil pan literally cost me about 100 usd to make. I found the stainless steel on the side of the road believe it or not. :D

      To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear

      I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.

      No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.

      I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
