scobie140 Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 My high capacity oil sump has a hairline crack so on the look out for a new one. Quite fancy the APS one as its a similar design so would allow me to keep my oil temp sensor set up similar. Just struggling to find any uk suppliers to get an idea of price. http://www.airpowersystems.com/350z/sump/sump.htm this is the one i'm after if the price is right.

Jetpilot Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Can in not be ground out and welded, I thought aps went bust? I managed to get a 2nd hand one through Clarke Motorsport, zmanalex would also be worth a pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scobie140 Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 That explains why I can't find any for sale then. I did think about getting it welded but this will be the 3rd time I'll have had it off and not sure about the previous owner and it's brutal to separate from the block so getting worried about introducing warping or more hairline cracks. For peace of mind I'd rather just get a new one. Found a aps replica which is what's currently fitted on eBay so might just go with that. All I'd need to do is make up a thicker plate for one of the turbo plates and tap it out to suit the temp sensor.

Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 How about a GReddy one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scobie140 Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 I had looked at that but I like the wide style as it means I dont loose any ground clearance. Not that I'm lowered much but we have bucket loads of speed bumps up here 😡 Can't use a spacer as my standard sump bent a bit coming off and I'd be back to less ground clearance.
