Eh? Mine fits fine... You sure you got a real Trust oil pan?

Yeah, I'm sure. I ordered it from Enjuku Racing so I would be sure to get a real one. I could get the screws to go in, but the baffle was bowed, so I just ran without them. I love greddy, but I think the quality is going a little downhill on some parts. I also have the Greddy Intake manifold, and the spot where the throttle body bolts on was horribly misplaced. I have a picture floating around somewhere. I had to machine off over a 1/4 inch to smooth the transition.

Is the stock oil pan really that bad? I just replaced the dented one on my motor set with a oem one. Now im thinking I should have just went greddy.

I run the stock pan... I just hammer them out so the bottom is rounded. I have an aluminum plate that covers the factory oil pan in the event something hits it. One time I did hit something in the road and it cracked my greddy oil pan... Had it been stock the pan would have been pushed into the pickup and toasted the motor but luckily I had the pan that day but what are the odds of that? I wish I knew who made the cover I got or where it came from... It bolts onto 6 of the 8 mounting points and covers the stock pan.

Where is the SR application?

They stopped making it. It has been discussed on Freshalloy.com

I know the pan you are talking about. A shop by my way has one in stock.

I see it on ebay every now and then.

THE BEST oil pan ever created for an SR is made by ARE in Australia. It has a pivoting oil pick-up so your engine will never be starved of oil, whether you're doing a wheelie or you're sideways at 100+mph.

Sir · 10-12-2007, 02:18 PM

^^ Wrong - Dry sump is best :P

water · 10-12-2007, 02:25 PM

Hahaha, yeah but then again there's no oil pickup either.

Pics? Links?

silviatunersr20 · 10-12-2007, 02:59 PM

I just say get a greddy pan, its the best bang for the buck and cheaper than the rest but still has a great name behind it to back the product up. I seen them for around 275 shipped so its not that bad.

I fail to see how an oil pan has a rotating oil pick up seeing how the pick up has nothing to do with the pan...

i heard that the greddy one was blah.

johngriff · 11-05-2007, 07:31 PM

I think the OP was just hoping someone would vouch for the freddy.

I mean, hell, buy it, you don't need to keep oil IN the engine anyways.

(jumps on soapbox).

The FIRST two mod's to an sr should be.

Greddy Oil Pan
Oil cooler, remote filter (2jz Turbo)

Then try to kill yourself from there.

unicoladron · 11-05-2007, 07:32 PM

wow...nice in theory

but for that kinda money i'd be on my way to a dry sump system.

+1 for the greddy...dealt with it on a friends car...thing never gave us a problem.

max_POWER · 11-05-2007, 07:54 PM

i picked up a "freddy" from a friend of mine for next to nothing. I havent actually got a chance to see my OEM yet (motor still on pallet) but if my oem is trash then im hoping my "freddy" works out.

OK honestly if your not constanly drifting your car just go OEM.I mean daily driving doesnt call for an aftermarket oil pan.I have the oem dented and all I go drifting often and never had an oil issue with my motor.

max_POWER · 11-05-2007, 08:03 PM

LOL

Kuzumi · 11-05-2007, 08:10 PM

Its like, you have to work REALLY hard to dispell all the BS that goes on in these threads sometimes.

mastaflash05 · 11-05-2007, 08:20 PM

im just saying what i have, and its working very will for me. i have had no problems with it so far. damn near the same thing for what, 1/2 price?

turtl631 · 11-24-2007, 05:23 PM

Just thought I'd stir this pot a little more- anyone have experience with the knockoff Tomei pan that RnD Factory sells on ebay? A quick search turned up nothing other than someone selling one.

sr20boostn20 · 11-24-2007, 06:34 PM

i have the greddy one.

works well for me.

seems to work for many others as well

go with what works

turtl631 · 11-24-2007, 08:15 PM

Of course the Greddy one works well, there are countless examples of that. I'm just curious if anyone has experiences with the Tomei knockoff.
