I was lucky enough to team up with a company called PML which makes high quality oil/tranny pans and diff covers.

As far as I know, tis is the only aftermarket transmission pan for the VQ. I was the first to test-fit it for the G35 and I am happy to report that it fits perfect. It does sit a little lower than OEM but is still tucked up slightly higher than the flanges of the cats (or ART pipes in my case).

Here is the details from their site:

This heavy duty transmission oil pan fits the Nissan RE5R05A transmission. This pan features:

- a low profile for ground clearance
- fins, aluminum construction and a bit more capacity for cooling
- a drain plug for easier maintenance
- 3/16-inch thick wall construction to add strength to the transmission case
- 3/8-inch thick gasket flange will not bend when bolts are tightened
- Machined gasket surface for a secure seal
- Boss cast into pan can be machined for a temperature sensor
- Magnetic drain plug for easier, less messy maintenance
- Mounting hardware provided

Nice!

 

Interesting. Do you remember exactly how much fluid was put in afterwards?

 

^ I added a big oil cooler at the same time so I'm not exactly sure how much oil went to the pan.

 

so what was the real purpose of doing this? added strength? being lower than the stock one would worry me

 

Cooler temps and the ability to plug in a temp sensor.

 

bump

 

nice part

 

Sick stuff Sean.

 

Not to knock the product or anything, but hasnt level10 offered something very similar to this pan for years?

Edit: i figure it would be good if i linked what i was talking about http://www.levelten.com/Level_10_Dee...01900-1000.htm

I dont think that^ one has the ability for a tranny temp sensor though.

 

^ that pan is made by PML but it is too deep for the G/Z. It is made for the Titan.

 

Ah nice, good to know.....

 

Cool, what is pricing like?

 

starts at $220
