Still working on these oil pans however, I wanted to know does the Z31 chassis have any issues running a Z32 pan…bare in mind I realize that pickup tube orientation is different but, has anyone done or know of using the Z32 oil pan? Does the pan fit in the chassis? I'm looking for any info that anyone could offer in regards to this.Nissan Race Engine Machine Shop

Re: Question
can u show me what the z32 pan looks like inside and side profile -
Re: Question
Pan chassis MIGHT fly, but I do know that the pickup tubes are on opposite sides, and the pan is a good bit larger, whether it will clear the rack or not is a mystery to me.

Re: Question
I believe that both the pans have the same bend where the cross member is. I just want to be sure that the Z32 pan dimensions from a stock stand point will function in the chassis.Nissan Race Engine Machine Shop

Re: Question
If you look on youtube you can find those install vids of the vg30dett into a z31 and they show the mods they did to make everything fit."Its the s12's sexy over weight step daughter, the z31" -
Re: Question
If the pan bolts onto the SOHC blocks, that just might make the VG33 a near drop in install if you use the original crank, oil pump, and pickup tube… everything I see there is where it needs to be as far as I remember. (But I could have it reversed). -
Re: Question
i know the oil pan rails are identical between all the VG30s. Not sure on the 33s but I'm willing to bet it is. I just want to make sure the kickout and so forth has enough clearance and what not. I have something I'm making that will make all of us VG owners very happy.Nissan Race Engine Machine Shop

Re: Question
33 block is almost exactly the same as the 30 block. I think the only difference is the bores and a block-heater plug which was not on my Z31 block.Tech@EPR wrote: i know the oil pan rails are identical between all the VG30s.

He is probably trying to make one oil pan for all applications instead of two or three different oil pans.Richard_85ZXT wrote: ok, enough with the secrets, what are you making?85 Z31 6.0 LSX turbo 766whp/792wtq

DE(TT) oil pans are longer than the 30/33E. Should be 7mm longer due to the oil pump and crank difference between them. You can bolt on all but the 4 bolts up front where they won't line up with the oil pump. -
