I recalled looking to buy an 350z long ago and never heard about the gallery gasket issues. I think the same V6 is also used in other models like the g35, g37, Maxima and Altma etc.... Any idea about the percentage of failure rate?

I have read others having low pressure codes and the dash light, but apparently at that point it may be too late and the engine could be damaged. For me, I had no symptoms. From reading on these forums I figured it would be a good measure to add a pressure gauge since this will be primarily a track car.
