Message for about 99.999% of the Z32 driving population some form of wet sump is going to be adequate. For that other .0001% we'll need to get to dry eventually, or pay for it the hard way.

I just want to know more about where the oil goes/what the oil does that makes it difficult to keep the pickup submerged when most other street cars don't appear to have the same difficulties we do. I know I'm routinely pulling 1.2G lateral in Z-Lab now for extended periods of time (track wise) & so are the people in my rungroup who are driving other cars.

Expanding the pan capacity down low will help with most people's problems. It's just idiots like me, RSR, Kuah and probably Mike that either do ORR driving, or track on banking where G forces are prolonged and the sump gets drained. Something like a 7 quart pan might go long enough to make the difference if you can keep all the oil from going up unexpectedly.

When was the last time you *really* did something with your Z to call yourself a Z enthusiast?
