Damn... 3 years... a few dozen track events... <5K miles on the street.

This is a 280ZXT pump that has gradually lost pressure to the point I finally replaced it today. This was not a sudden failure, just a gradual loss of pressure over the past 3 years. I took it to a buddy who races a 240Z ITS car and he said that the oil pumps were a yearly replacement for his car and that my wear was "typical" of what he had seen.

I got several steel splinters in my fingers when I first handled the inner rotors. the edges on the top and bottom are galling and sending little pieces of the pump it's self into the rotors. I think every bit of this is from the rotors themselves.
