Hmmm... that photo of the alloy bulge pan was from a Tasmania Pulsar.
I've never seen a pic of steel FWD sumps?

weird as Aus never got them, they are all steel
peeps import them from soufrika

As far as i've seen, all the FWD a-series sumps were alloy in all countries.

Nissan didn't need to keep rolling with FWD A-series as they created the superior CA-series (NAPS-X), the trendy E-series and the efficent GA-series.

the winged section is much easier to do with the Steel sump
Im sure all other markets had steel its just Soufrika?

Also I guess Nissan Engineering planned for either the A15
for the future of FWD so put those provisions just in case.
Pity they didnt keep rolling with it and then a stroker
version like Toyota did with the K series.

He hasn't signed on in 11 months, so emailing him will probably be more effective.

Do not but will pm him. Thanks.

Do you know club member John Roper, the 1200 guru in Fort Worth? He might have parts or ideas.

Hey Tom thanks for the cam information. You have a GX head with your A15 as well along with the 3.9 diff? Cant keep up with everyone's A series rebuild projects. Hope you like my lengthy thread here. Lots of good information. Really anxious to get on with my project, but now with travel coming up and the holidays it may be a few more weeks. Have most of my parts but need to go back to the salvage yard for an oil pan(s). I am looking at notching my oil pan vs cutting into the structural crossmember. Kurt says the B210 pan is better suited for that since its a mid sump (less invasive) but according to DD, I need to put a hammer to it to clear the crankshaft. I will let my fabrication guy determine what is best. Cool looking road you got out west in California. I am jealous!! Here in Texas we have the hill country which is south west of Fort Worth, but no comparison. Catch you later.

DD thanks for the pics. That is quite an oil pan on the fwd car. D was saying it is easy to cut the extended sump and weld back a wing. As I previously mentioned, will let the guy doing my work figure out the best solution. I can get datsun parts fairly cheap from this salvage yard so will keep accumulating whatever parts may come into use.

This FWD pan looks like it will work with A15 (Datsun N10 "310" pan)

Here's a FWD pan for A14
