There's an Oil drain access panel in the TBW, too.

Honestly, I don't recall what the reason was for one over the other. I had come to that decision long ago and made note of it in my mod plans. So when it finally came around to ordering the tray, I didn't re-research the decision, just went with what I had already chosen.

Here's a dining room table photo, because everything has to be on the dining room table for a few days, LOL.

I think he means that TBW door is not big enough and oil still hits the tray where z1, you remove half the shield when doing oil.

Ah, OK. Well, I don't know about that. I'll probably remove the tray entirely for oil changes anyway, so that wasn't something I was ever concerned about.

Honestly, I only change the oil once a year. The upcomming OCI, what with the pandemic and all, is less than 3000 miles.

Yeah, it's honestly not that big of a deal. You have the option to remove that panel with TBW as well. The little door is more than enough though if you have a little cloth to wipe any drippage.

I was under the impression the Z1 undertray was better designed for larger swaybars (such at the Hotchkis ones).

My TBW clears the Hotchkiss bars, mounts, and zerk fittings with 5mm to spare.

Picked up the car from the shop last night. Got the following done:
- ZSpeed CMAK
- Redline Trans and Diff Fluid
- GM DOT4 clutch fluid
- Hotckis Sway Bars

Clutch pedal modulation is much better and the shifting action is really smooth. Hoping for trouble free miles ahead of me.

Probably hard to tell with the CMAK but how does the redline fluid feel?
I’m coming up on my fluid service and was considering amsoil, redline, and OEM Nissan fluids.

Those the Z1s? I have them installed - Not bad for the price. Only downside is you have to take the wheel off to make adjustments but they've been issue free for me so far.

I have the silver TBW undertray. I also have the Fumoto drain valve which I directed to pour out so it flows out perfectly through the open tray. Best money I have spent on oil related products. Hardly get my hands oily unless I juggle the oil filter.

Standard, short nipple, or long nipple?
