Message There are probably 4 ways go to about it... first is to run a RB25DET (stamped steel) oil pan... the RB26 block has bolt patterns for both the RB26 and RB25 oil pans).

Second way is what I did:

Weld up the holes, remove most of the AWD bits and notch the OEM crossmember, and a custom made front sway bar:

The third way is the way 91300zxttkid did it, which gains you oil capacity (but low ground clearance)


The fourth way is to get a Moroso Modified RB26 oil pan, which is 1.) Not cheap, and 2.) Still has to be modified.
