Got an oil pressure gauge installed, picked the car up and went for a small drive to get it up to temps & check the pressure. Well to my disbelief the gauge said 3PSI (glow shift LED, t’d off factory oil pressure switch) Called the shop because honestly I thought the gauge was reading incorrectly, they did their own oil pressure test today & says it’s at 4 PSI.. so the gauge was reading correctly lol. No cel, or engine oil pressure light. Car sounds fine on startup, no timing chain rattle or anything. Changed my oil 3 times the past year (have owned it for a year) It’s staying at the shop and they’re gonna take the timing cover off & planning to do the gaskets & some other parts while it’s open. What a day to get an oil pressure gauge installed.. so if your thinking about it DO IT. 09 125,000KM.
EDIT: as stated no unusual sounds or knocking so I’m hoping everything will be good after the work.

Installed 20mm z1 spacers all around, once I hit 120km/h the steering wheel starts to shake. Any ideas? No shake or weird feeling until then.

Selling an automotive part, buyer A says he can get them in the afternoon. Gives me the run around and says tonight works better, fair enough. We agree to a time & 20 minutes before the agreed time I message and say let me know when you’re 10-15 away. No answer. Lots of people were messaging me for this item so I tell another buyer if the first person doesn’t come within 45 minutes (30 minutes after the agreed time) you can come get them. Still no answer. So I tell buyer B you can come get them (he was very motivated and willing to pay full price) buyer B says he’s on his way. Then buyer A messages me and says “be there in 15”, this is 45 minutes after the agreed time. I said they’re sold and they got pretty upset and pretty much said thanks for wasting my time & some swear words.. Was I in the wrong?

To preface I’ve been driving manual for about a year now & have a method of going over speed bumps but I’m curious to hear your thoughts/opinions.
Scenario: going through the drive thru, coming up to a speed bump at around 5/10kmh. Most of the time entering the drive thru I’m in second, getting close to the speed bump I engine brake and then clutch in when I’m about to hit it, once my front tires are over I will put it into first and give it a bit of gas to get my rear tires over (lowered car btw). I shift to first because I don’t wanna lug my engine & going into first doesn’t give me any grief. Seems to work for me but I’m curious to know how some of you would approach that situation.

Getting everything in a list for the gallery gaskets, is AISIN the OE for water pump/thermostat? $350 on Nissans website for the water pump or the aisin for $65 on rock auto. I don’t wanna spend the extra $300 if it’s the same thing lol

Drove my friends z and is was a pretty different experience. Both have manual transmissions but in mine when I’m in first-third gear in the 2000rpm range and I let off the gas completely, the car will almost jerk as it starts to coast. It almost feels like a small downshift in a sense, wondering if anyone has any ideas? Diff bushing? Engine mounts, maybe?

Has anyone ever had an issue where your z will go into limp mode at 3500rpm with no cel? It will happen randomly upon start up and with a restart it will be fine.

I’ve cleaned maf/tb, new air intake boots & pcv valves/hoses. Any ideas would be appreciated it.
