Fontana Nissan in Fontana, CA has a amazing TA 350z that DE created a Dry Sump system for. I like to follow the follow the Fontana Nissan website/blog on their race cars, so when I was stationed in Fontana for a couple of weeks of work I swung by the shop and talked to one of the sales man. Fortunately for me they had a full kit in-stock. I think I have some pictures on my cell phone that I could upload later if I get the time to. From personal experience in handling the product it is nothing short of beautiful! The craftsmanship is higher than I have ever seen in person. Including all of the oil pans/lubrication system companies that I looked at in the 2010 SEMA. The guy that I talked to was very helpful and was pretty knowledgeable considering her was a sales man, not one of the "pit crew". IIRC once the set their oil pressure to where they wanted it and tuned the 350z they gained something like 32whp on their 450whp NA VQ35DE, simply from controlling windage, etc. Thats pretty amazing to me.
A dry sump system can and has been made in "one off" projects for the VG30, however the Daily Engineering system addresses all of the oiling & lubrication system needs/benefits.
IIRC the 350z DE system sells for "around" (don't quote me) $3,500. Worth it IMHO.
I don't see how they could keep the AC, sorry CmyZ. Every race car I know of that needs that dry sump over a racing oil pan is gutted and has no AC. The SZ oil pan woudl seem to be a good middle of the road choice in price and benefits to the system for occasional track days and spirited DD/canyon runs.
FuerGrissa, the price point alone puts the item far from the AMS "typical" ebay buyer crowd. Products with no moving parts are one thing, but this is a complex system with very tight tolerances.
If this ever comes to market I would seriously think of dropping the coin on it.
