The Greddy pan uses the stock bolts and there is no need for a pickup extension since it is only slightly deeper. Be sure to cap the holes on the side.

^ -6an. small i know. get an caps. they thread right in. make sure you clean all old silicone off the upper pan and prep the greddy pan accordingly (dust, debris etc.) because there is no gasket, you must be uber generous with the rtv sealant.

Well that sucks!

Already ordered the damn thing. Greddy had 0 documentation that I could find on it.

I have the AAM spacer right now with the lines it came with I am pretty sure they are -8 to-10. FML! Sick of this oil leak and just pissing money away on it. Was hoping the greddy pan with fewer sealing surfaces would help.

I will post it FS I guess.

So any of you guys definite? Sounds like -6an guys are and 1/2npt are not.

There is a gasket for the VQ35DE. Used it, wasnt happy with it and the spacer. Probably not the correct application.

RTV is not that hard to use. Just follow the directions for letting it set and then do your final TQ.

I don't think they are 8an. I have the pan and I run my oil return into it. The hole was tiny so I drilled it out and tapped 1/2" NPT so I could install my return fittings.

The 6 an someone mentioned earlier seems about right for how small it was but then again it was 3 years ago when I installed it. 8an is about 1/2" so it would have to be smaller than 8an if I needed to drill it out.
