good money after bad
My suggestion is to do one of two things. 1, take the car to the dealer. Just make sure it's not the one in South Orange County just off the 5 freeway. Or 2, take the car to Nima at Corner3. Knowing what I know now, replacing the can sprockets is really your only option. Expensive, but if you intend to keep the car, your only real option. I would however suggest calling Nissan Consumer Affairs to at least file a claim. You might get lucky there, but I wouldn't count in it. It will however create a paper trail for you if you were to have issues later.
What I wouldn't do, is continue to try replacing random parts in the hopes of an easy fix. I did that, and was out a few hundred needlessly. Take that money and have the real problem fixed. Make sure whomever works on the car, swapps out the oil pickup. The whole front of the engine will be apart anyway.
Good luck
