ride along video in my LS1 swapped 240sx just a quick video from this past weekend doing the drift demo for the nopi nationals show. got the car running friday afternoon, immediately trusted it enough to drive it an hour south to the alignment shop and then another hour and a half to the track. saturday i beat on the car all day and forgot to charge up my camera, sunday i made it through the first demo and cooked my stock LSD, then developed rod knock in the motor so i shut it down and pushed it out. the car ran amazing while the engine was happy, very well balanced like the SR was still in the car.... just with a little extra torque 
. my old technique was to mat the pedal and wait for boost then back off as needed, the new way of doing things is just plain old throttle steering.
anyhow, this is what it's like to be in the car. i had mufflers on it but was told to take them off because the crowd couldn't hear the car, lol. this was run with modified stock C5 manifolds and straight pipes to about half way down the car. spectator response to the car was amazing, 99.9% of people only had good things to say about the swap... there were a few weenies there that cried over the fact i had an american motor in a japanese car though.

my pan has a steel baffle bolted into the bottom of it. not sure the difference between the pans you speak of.

You know what you need to do! Make a DART IZUMI like exhaust but make it a 4inch instead of a 3. And flare out the daul tips coming out the back to 4.5 tips to really let the crowed hear that car!!!!!!!!!

i'm just going to y the 2.5" pipes together and run a 3" back from there... then make some oval sidepipes with slip fits for exhibitions to make it louder. should do the job pretty well and i'll get the cool smoke blowing back from the exhaust exiting near the rear wheels. if i ran 4" exhaust under the car anywhere i'd have to raise the suspension about 3" so i can get on and off a trailer or in and out of my driveway, lol.

dry sump just isn't in the cards right now. $3500 for an oiling system is just not gonna happen unfortunately. mike peters hasn't spun a bearing yet that i know of and he's been running his car like this for a while now. i really just think i wasn't running enough oil in the car for the abuse.
edit: haha, can't even hear the car.... must've been when i had the flowmasters still on there.

thanks. this car can make a u-turn on a dime and with the LS1 pump coupled with the 240 rack it steers very easily. not to mention it's a decently light car to begin with.
