Why replace the oil pan?

The stock oil pan from Nissan is alright but it’s not as it should be - MAD. On higher revolutions air bubbles are introduced to the oil which decreases the pickup and drops the pressure, causing damage to engine bearings over time. We solved this using a deeper pan with 1 liter increased oil capacity and added a market first baffle system. This eliminates the pickup issues, removes the air bubbles and prevents oil from splashing on the back wall during hard accelerations.

Another weak point of the stock pan is the drain plug placement. It’s not located in the bottom which means you will not drain all the old oil during oil service. We placed our plug at the very bottom for easy maintenance. 

Most pans for the Nissan GT-R is installed using sealing to prevent leakage, but this sealing often ends up inside the pan as small pieces that either blocks the pickup filter or gets through into the engine. Using sealing also means it’s a hassle if you want to detach the pan as you have to scratch off the dried sealing, clean the edges and apply new sealing before attaching it again. Sealing is economical but has its disadvantages. At MAD we include an o-ring to seal the pan with ease every time. 

TEST DATA

Tests made at Hockenheim ring in Germany with full spec race car on slicks show clearly show how effective the baffle system works on high Gs.

With OEM oil pan we measured oil pressure as low as 0.9 bar (13.0 psi) in some sharp corners and always when hard braking after the long straight.

With the MAD oil pan installed oil pressure never went lower then 2.74 bar! (39.74 psi)

COLOR OPTIONS

At MAD we offer all our billet aluminum products in 5 different anodized color options. Anodizing increases resistance to corrosion and wear which means a better protected product and at the same time giving it a mad color finish to separate your build from the rest.

Colors available: Gold, Red, Blue, Black and Light grey.

Our MAD GT-R Intake Manifold is also available with a mix-of-colors option, where you can assign a different color on each part to create a truly mad look in your engine bay.

BILLET ALUMINIUM

At MAD we specialize in producing products out of high quality billet aluminium. A billet is essentially a solid block of material, in our case aluminium. The billet is carved out by an CNC milling machine in a given shape to create the final product. This method gives us a high degree of precision combined with an impressive structural strength and very low weight - perfect for performance cars. 

As an added bonus we get that mad looking product that many of our customers describe as: “A piece of art”.
