    Stuck my name down and bought the ticket in one go  :thumbs:

    I may have missed it in the previous 11 pages of messages but what happened to the prize money from last year?

    Just went out to try mine... I take it were good at these readings? (worrying look on face) 60psi cold start then settles at warm idle of 30psi? (After leaving it for a bit it goes behind the 30 but I take it from the comments im good up until its at 15 half way?)

     

    A bit confused what it should be for each scenario.. should it be right at the top for a cold start and be over 30 at hot idle?

    This is where mine was when I bought it and within a year it had got worse. It's not going to get better so start saving...!

  4. A warm/hot idle should be 30psi plus. Below that you almost definitely have a failed gasket of some sorts and should start budgeting for a replacement when you can. Below 15psi you should probably stop spirited driving and take it to a garage asap as you could be starving the cams of oil and your gasket will probably habe deteriorated. 

     

    You dont take the engine out as one person mentioned before but you do take the front off so it's not an easy job for a home mechanic (unless you seriously know what you're doing)

     

    You're looking at 6-8 hours labour (mine was 7.5 as it was the first HR they'd done) and around 200-600 in parts depending on what you change. I had everything changed except actual timing chain as it wasn't stretched but it could have been with such low oil pressure so was a nice surprise when my bill was a bit under the quote. 

  5. More and more people seem to know about the 350z & 370z MK stadium meets now and even had a few people drive past by coincidence and stick their head in and say hello. They are midweek meets on varying days and here's a few photos to see what you've missed out on so far...

  6. This is an issue I've heard can crop up quite a lot - How much did this fix cost you?

     

    Please give Bay Automotive a ring for a quote as mentioned above, its a long job and i also had my service done. I wouldn't want to say one price and then due to inflation/operating costs the new cost could be more.

     

    What mileage is yours on? 79k I had mine done.

     

    59,000

  7. Rather than adding on to the end of an old thread I thought I'd start a new one with a recommendation for someone who can do this job at a competitive price that may be more suitably located for other owners (I didn't fancy trekking all the way to the south side of the M25).

     

    I was talking to a friend who mentioned the oil gallery gasket failure and how it would present itself in both physically readouts and driving characteristics and unfortunately mine ticked all the boxes.

    -Low oil pressure on cold start

    -Low oil pressure on warm idle

    -Flat top end acceleration

    -Kangarooing under acceleration at low revs (even under gentle throttle)

     

    I had the work undertaken after getting a recommendation from a friend. He recommended Andy at Bay Automotive in Buckingham.

    http://www.bayautomotive.co.uk

    Andy was very knowledgeable and was able to describe what the issue was, how it was affecting the engine and how it will now behave in comparison.

    I am very pleased with the outcome, the car feels very different now and can really appreciate the top end grunt that I was missing before. The kangarooing has completely disappeared and it feels like it should have felt before! Don't know why I was putting up with it. Lack of personal experience I guess. I won't discuss money publicly on here but will say that it was competively priced and you should go directly to get a quote if you want the work to be done.

     

    A side note for anyone looking into this, the gaskets were in back order from Nissan when we ordered for about 3-4 weeks.
