My engine issue
 

It looks my oil pump let go at 8100 rpm. and then the engine just stopped.
all sorts of codes. Eventually the car stopped running, Some thing let go in the cam gears on the drivers side. It turns over perfectly just does not start.
To be taken apart in a few months

If it turns into a FI issue? Let me know and I'll move it.

Hopefully the damage to the engine isn't major.

Good Luck and Keep us posted.

Bummer! Doesn't this need to be in the engine and drivetrain section though?

Thanks for pointing that out :icon17:

What was you doing when this happened? Street, strip?

Does not really matter, 8100rpm is too much for the OEM oil pump ... it will cr4p itself and lunch the engine big-time.

Loss of oil pressure at 8100rpm = lunched bearings in top and bottom end.

Again? I thought you had this happen to you a while back? Or did you run another motor up high enough to lunch an oil pump? Next time put in a Nismo oil pump or trust the factory engineers who set the redline at 7500 to prevent exactly this from happening.

Edit- Yep, that's twice that 8100 rpm has kicked you in the wallet. http://www.the370z.com/canada/73134-...er-breaks.html Either build the motor to handle it or stop running it up that high.

Third time's a charm?

i think he just likes buying parts and reminding everyone in here what he bought.

good luck OP...

lmao

Interesting

Speaking of the Nismo Oil Pump, I actually emailed the Nismo parts department about getting the oil pump, and how much it costs. They never emailed me back. I'm debating doing this as a preventative part since I currently have lots of time to work with my car. If the price is right of course.

Its the same engine.
GTM is doing the oil pump in built moter.

So it was rebuilt and then it let go at 8100 rpm again?

Ouch.
