Daily Driver No Longer

JARblue

Thanks

I just purchased the SuckerPunch oil pump gears. I was not aware of any shims to adjust oil pressure. That being said, as an NA car, I don't see the need. The car runs fine with the stock oil pressure, so I see no reason to change it. Someone would have to really sell me on that idea with proven data before I would even consider it

This is pretty much all of the gasket that was left from the upper oil gallery

Wow! Did you show any warning signs that the gallery gaskets were going out? How many miles on the car currently?

JARblue

105K miles currently as stated in the OP. No warning signs - car has always driven great. Although no oil pressure gauge to monitor either. I have one that will be going on the car.

Hmmm making me think whether I should re-prioritize next mods on the track car... My car is 2014 @ 40k miles. Did Nissan ever address this issue later on or do you think this plagues all model years?

I believe the gasket material was changed on 2013 and newer.

It's still probably worth at least getting the pressure gauge if you're concerned about it.

Well, I guess I will be putting a pressure gauge in. I've been reading through the threads online, the tap itself looks like a piece of cake to install, but deciding on a gauge and wiring it thru the interior... lots of swearing going to happen. I wonder if I even have a gallery gasket left lmao... (/s)

Jar, what kind of gauge did you get? I'm window shopping and im tempted to go semi-flex:

i looked at the standard Greddy/Trust one, and it only goes to 600kpa =(. I'm starting to think my wild idea of trying to throw a Haltech ic-7 dash in isn't so wild...

What ever you get. It has to read up to 150 psi. Cold idie and high rpm's. It will show over 100 psi.

Yeah, kinda why i'm leaning towards digital or just say F it and put a full dash in. OBD what i can and use sensors for the rest. Ill figure out turn signals and fuel gauges as I go lol

I got the Revel one from ZSpeed. It is digital.

for the short term, that is a good price. I found out Haltech has pressure sensors, i just need to know if they can be connected directly to their dash unit without using their ECU. if that's possible i may do that since my next oil change is likely at the end of the year (which is when i'd likely do the job)

Z is coming together nicely. Here's some photos of the work done so far. Will try to fire it up later this afternoon

I decided its probably time to start monitoring my oil pressures as well.
I went with this gauge. I wanted something that would somewhat match the factory gauges. you can change the back light to a red'ish color.

In pic 2, he is going to need to shave the frame some so it won't hit your oil pan where the undertray bolts to the subframe.
