What Classifies As Low Oil Pressure? 2010 370z

Rojoryu · 12-07-2021, 01:11 PM

Even doing the currency conversion, that's $160usd for a water pump. A new OEM water pump should be around $75usd or $110nz.

As far as what is necessary...a $60 set of gallery gaskets and some RVT. But, to everyone's point it would be a bad idea to have everything torn apart to replace those gaskets and not also replace the wear items while they are exposed. So what is necessary will be different based on the user. I would without a doubt replace the water pump and thermostat. If the chains, guides and tensioners look flawless I wouldn't judge someone for leaving them be if this was a weekend "I'm going to Starbucks" kind of car for you. If you plan to keep the car, drive it regularly or hard then yes. You should also replace the chains, tensioners, guides and oil pump gears. Those parts would run you about $1500nz. What was the labor quote, I don't see it included?

Ooops... duh

At 100K and planning to keep the car and drive it hard I probably should have done the chains, tensioners and guides. Everything was in good shape though so I didn't bother. I did put in some billet oil pump gears tho.

Here's what I purchased from CZP for my gallery gasket job (ignore the PS cooler and ATI crank pulley). Got the gasket kit direct from EPS Tuning (see Rusty's link) and my mechanic sourced a new OEM thermostat for me.

Labour quote is 6-10 hours at $166 NZD ($112 USD) per hour. This is for a Nissan dealership.

I think what I'll do is order the parts from Z1 Motorsports instead, so far I have this - is this everything?

Except for the oil pump gears, that is exactly what I ordered.

How necessary is it to change the oil pump gears? From what I've read this means also changing the oil pump to new one, as new aftermarket gears shouldn't go in a used pump?

I only use my car as a daily driver with the odd weekend drive (no track days or crazy driving), so just don't know if it is worth spending so much on the oil pump/gears?
