SEEN THIS? Oil Pan Spacer Now Available
 
I came across a brief article on a new Oil Pan Spacer and wanted to make sure everyone is aware of this option. It may be an inexpensive and very quick fix to some of the issues I've read about on the forum.

Product: JWT VQ35HR-VQ37VHR Oil Pan Spacer

Want to add an additional full quart of oil capacity to your VQ35HR/VQ37? Jim Wolf Technology now produces an oil pan spacer kit for the 350Z(HR), 370Z, G35 (HR) and G37. Add a full quart of additional oil capacity in less than an hour! It's cheap insurance when racing your Z/G, or for those who rarely check oil levels between changes. Retail Price: $99.50.

This Pan Spacer was originally designed for the JWT Twin Turbo kit to add oil capacity and provide an oil return routing for the turbos. Due to the large number of requests, we now offer it separately without the turbo oil return fittings here.

GTM also offers an oil pan spacer along with AAM ;) I say go GTM its really nice!

Can't go wrong with GTM. I owned a JWT on my last car, it was nice though. No complaints at all.

Nice sig Bullitt. Can't wait to check out your ride in person?

I looked at this option. But didnt want my oil pan sitting lower. Would have made it lowest part of the car.

Would it be? I trust you but I'd have to look at that. Even if it was, I don't think that would ever be a issue. I'm geeting a oil cooler kit (as soon as it starts to warm up) but not sure if I want a spacer also for I'm worried about the oil coming up to temp being so much oil and not FI yet.

/\ oil cooler will go a long way further to addressing overheating issues on track than an extra qt of oil capacity will. Wouldn't hurt to add the spacer though but imo, oil cooler first, then spacer.

Yep. I just went cooler route.

But it would be low and while i dont plan to hit the front something did go under my car and pushed my undertray into the oil cooler fittings (pointed down, getting em turned). Oil spacer would put the pan at the same level.

P.S Mike, you in town this weekend?

Thanks for sharing, but we already have oil pan spacers available for our cars.
