There's a little more to it than just running the CAD file, some parts are hand assembled such as the 4 one-way gates. Without the original plans or a piece to reverse engineer it would take some work.

Sorry to hear this part is no longer available. As I get ready for some winter mods, I was thinking about this as a first step.

The other main part that is needed.... And is actually the weaker part... Upgraded oil pump gears.
In the end the best overall solution was switching over to a dry sump system. |

Knowing Nissan. It's grap your chest, and fall over dead when you see the price.

Check with daily engineering for dry sump:
VQ-37 They make really nice stuff. Never used their Nissan products but I have installed their Viper parts and they were top notch. |

BJ, were you able to lower the engine any with the dry sump or are you forced to run stock engine and transmission mounts?

Guessing $5K+ just for pump and pan, still need pulley, tank, lines and fittings.
