Good point .......... another reason to use ARP products

Interesting I didn't hear ban had an issue. I occasionally track but try to keep a full tank. What happenend here a lean mis under load in turn exit?

Wait so the ATI damper now fits non dry sump? Last I checked they still didn't. Anyone with one comment on if it smooths the slight buzz in the feet at 6000-7500? I know they (nissan) did a lot of work in the new vq35de and it is smooth all the way to 6500.

Where the F you been? I've had my ATI dampener since 12/15. :eek:

This does look like dry sump time. Once he get's his oil pump out we shall know more. I wonder what the gears look like in the oil pump and if this is the only rod bearing to have oiling issues.

Ok I guess the note says dry sump only, call for oem application. Guess I need to call.

Any noticeable difference in engine smoothness at high rpm?

Never really notice. So it must be doing something. :icon17:

Shoot me a call, I have a few on the shelf. ATI will not have any in stock, and depending on who you get may not even realize this exists. We worked with them a few years ago to bring on to market that is compatible with stock.

Hey,


As a few others in this thread have mentioned, you will want to take that motor all the way down to nothing and get it all cleaned/inspected. New stock crank at the minimum, Bryant has a 3.7 or a 4.0 crank we use, but, depending on your budget that may not be in the cards.


Shoot me a PM or call me at 410-593-7080 would be more than happy to go over some options with you, and we do also have the ATI dampers in stock currently. There are a few engine options out there for you depending what all you need the car to do.

Stage 2 Short block on the way from Z1. Also a new oil cooler core and Nissan Motorsport steel gear oil pump. I'll be remachining my heads here in denver.

Here's some of the schrapnel found in the pan!!!

It should be a good strong motor once I'm done.

That's crazy!

Looks like the stomach contents of your motor after it ate it's self. :icon14:

What do the other bearings and rods look like? You need to get down to the root cause or you will have issues again.

I feel like a billet crank and a dry sump go hand in hand, and I wouldn't do one without the other. Both are so expensive individually... if the oil pump breaks and takes out a Bryant crank that is really depressing. If a stock crank breaks and goes through your Dailey Engineering pan and pump that is just as sad.

It would really be interesting to get oil pressure logging on a Z being used in track events with a factory style oil sump. It would just take one or two guys to log it for the rest of us all to use that data!!
