I just got a worrisome call from Austin Z Clinic. He removed the lower oil pan and found some uncomfortably large metal shavings in it (like 1/8"+). The last time I drove it, I certainly wasn't having any issues. Going to stop by after work and take a look for myself and have a discussion with Kevin about where we go from here

I'm not really interested in tearing apart my engine unnecessarily. But I don't want to do a bunch of work and then find out that we do need to tear into it

Spent most of the fluff fund for the Z on an M3 for my daily driver so we'll just have to see what happens now and how quickly.

Used engine is about 500 - 1000. Food for thought.

Oh I know how cheap they are. But I'm building a track car for reliability, so I can't really afford to go the cheap route, and especially not with an unknown used engine. I'd rather keep the original one and rebuild it if that's what it takes.

Just go into the used section here and buy 3 of them. Be sure to store them in your living room for the next 6 years for extra JARness.

I've got several people telling me the larger shavings are most likely evidence that the oil pump is failing. Too bad I don't a badass billet one that I could replace it with. Oh wait...

And that's probably still on the top of the pile of parts. Should be easy to find.

You have to see the shaving to really tell what they are. Could be left over machine shaving, or anything else.

The consensus is that it is most likely left over machining bits from assembly and nothing to worry about. I'm certainly not going to worry about it - if its a problem, I'll find out soon enough.

That parts pile is significantly smaller today as about 1/3 of the pile is now installed on the car

Default ZOCIETY UK Meet - TORQEN (July 2020)

I took my 370z Nismo to meet some other cars and convoy to the UK Zociety meet hosted by Torqen...

And this Twin Turbo 370Z with Amuse body kit kinda stole the show... Thought some of you would enjoy it...
