No Z1 kit. The value just isn't there and I'm not shooting for numbers. Probably won't even dyno unless a random opportunity arises. How much more labor is it for the oil pump replacement if I'm doing engine mounts and oil galley gasket work? I don't want to go crazy, but I'm not interested in doubling up on labor down the road just because I didn't want to spend a few extra pesos now. The Boundary Engineering gears are $600 with new OEM pump housing plus rebuild cost. I like the Sucker Punch option because of the upgraded housing.

If the motor goes boom, I feel like boost will come into play at that time. Truthfully, I'm just trying to avoid that rabbit hole
At least until the disposable income is burning a hole in my pocket... Moved oil galley gaskets to 2

As far as the oil pump gears go I am just giving you the same information I got from Seb. I ran the CJ Motorsports oil pump gears and my OEM oil pump for two years and never had an issue until my rods fatigued. You got choices and nothing is a guaranty! You got to pay to play with a track toy. Oh, and you will need to add tires to the list as well. You will need set aside a tire fund as they are your number one most costly consumable.

Yes. I am trying to avoid the boosted racecar rabbit hole. It's much deeper in terms of both money and time
Thinking if I pass on the oil stuff, an oil pressure gauge in cabin might be a worthwhile investment. Maybe move that up to a 1?

But that's the kind of useful information I like More research now Quote:
Don't remind me. I opened a separate savings account just for tires. Been feeding into it for several months now. I think I'll probably roll on your Nismo wheels to start, but definitely keeping an eye out for deals on some square 18s with proper offsets.

Daily Driver No Longer
I thought Phunks gears were a one time group buy. Went on about the same time he did the baffled oil pan.
I never saw he started producing them outside the group buy and actually never saw that group buy went ahead either. Last edited by jwick; 03-19-2019 at 11:50 PM. |

Oil pressure gauge is #1.

As to the oil galley gaskets and related whatnot, took me ab 16 man-hours to do the gaskets, Defi oil pressure gauge, and a bunch of other ish... and I'd never taken off more than the bumper before that.

I want to redline 5th gear. I want to threshold brake from 150+ mph. I want to throw my Z around corners on the absolute edge of traction at 80+ mph ... ... safely ... eventually. Can't do that on the street or autoX.
