bjhines Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 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.

jt1 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 That would freak me out. Where does all that metal come from? jt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjhines Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
