In the grand scheme of the costs of this build, it actually is totally reasonable for the performance (and fun) gains. Depending on the exchange rate, count on around $13-14K. My custom driveshaft...

I suspect oil pump rotor if you had the revs turned up at all. That is the known week spot on that motor. Our Dailey Engineering dry sump was $3500 or so, you don't need to spend $6000.

These are stainless steel.

They had two O2 bungs on them but I welded the second set up since I only needed one set of wide band O2's for the racecar.

I will probably be there with a couple of Spec Z's. I was hoping to bring the 370Z out to this event but it will likely still be down for its winter overhaul.
