The billet aluminum CJM Active Baffle Oil Pan for the (07-08) 350z & (09+) 370z was constructed to improve on the lubrication system of your VQ engine.

Integrated within the pan is a separated sump area surrounding the oil pump pickup. Active 1-way trap doors allow engine oil to easily enter the sump area yet greatly slow its departure during high lateral-G maneuvers. Vertical longitudinal baffles guide oil returning from the rear of the upper pan into the sump area.

Improvements to oil control will contribute to longer engine bearing and oil pump life by reducing the tendency for oil pickup starvation during aggressive driving sessions.

Oil capacity is increased over the original pan roughly 0.5 quarts by increasing the sump depth (the most effective way to increase capacity while adding additional fluid control and starvation protection). Overall depth was intentionally left above the front suspension cross-member to keep the oil pan within the factory lower engine shroud and out of harm's way from road debris. The additional oil capacity will contribute to stabilizing oil temperatures and increase oil quality life between changes. To take advantage of the extra depth, an oil pump pickup spacer and extended hardware is included with each pan.

Additional surface area is added to the lower side of the pan to aid in air-cooling via a heat-sink effect.

The drain plug location was moved to the rear bottom of the pan to improve oil draining when the front of the vehicle is lifted on jack-stands. A low-profile drain plug is included (-6AN threads, 9/16-18) with 3 reusable high quality bonded o-ring drain plug washers.

Each CJM billet oil pan includes -10AN port fittings on the left and right sides. These ports are mostly intended for turbo oil drains. The pan can be ordered with plugs or -10AN fittings for these ports.

Stainless steel cap screws and washers are included to secure the oil pan to your engine.

Thanks!!!

Will work with z1's undertray?

This oil pan sits higher than the crossmember, so unless an undertray intentionally raises up higher than the crossmember, they will fit together.

It sits right above the cross member so...Since the under tray attaches to the cross member, I bet it would

I'm leaving work soon seeing if this will fit into my budget

I am in ... refer PM on oil pickup ...

:iagree:

Is a spacer included for the pickup? Very nice job Charles looks great.:tup:

How much oil does it hold? I have a few friends here in Taiwan that want it.

In for one as well. Also would like to know if youre extending the oil pickup.

Sorry for slow responses today has been a long one! Any time I get batches back from the anodizer, the rest of the day is crazy. Also had to get another big batch of parts ready to drop off during the pickup. I almost dropped off this pan! But I think I'll leave it pretty for a while longer. I was thinking maybe like an olive green color or something out of the ordinary black and blue I always do.

I will hopefully have oil capacity increase measurements this week. As soon as I get my hands on a stock pan to measure its displacement I will know the difference/increase.

As for extending the oil pickup, yes! That is another reason I need to pick up a stock pan. I want to lower it to have the same vertical clearance over the floor as stock.

Anodize it black - better heat dissipation ....

I'm in, but i want it raw. would rather clearcoat it with powder so it stays pretty, even if only me and Z1 will ever see it

Excellent! I will let each buyer decide if they want it straight from the CNC or anodized. I figured most people will want such a large billet part to still look billet and it really is so cool to handle and look at. I'll probably make another for myself to just keep around.

For the 6 screws securing the baffle lid, I was figuring on providing pre-drilled safety wire screws for anyone who wants to use stainless wire on them as an added security. I was thinking of having the laser put a U notch about 1/2" from each one to hook the wire around.

Charles - I would drill each fastener and lock-wire them together in a daisy-chain - I do this in several places on my race-car for security - implies you have (or have access to) lock-wire pliers (which I do).

So much want, is this going to be something that can be ordered on an individual basis? Car is about to get the 2015 nismo conversion painted and blended.
