hey guys, finally finishing off this build today, and halfway through tuning the oil pump completley lost pressure..... they said on cold start theres a little bit then when warm it ticks loudly and has none. they took the plug off the sump and ran the motor and no oil was pumping out.....so they concluded the pump has failed. its done around 1000 kms......i dont know why or how its failed all of a sudden.

Really? These seem to come up a lot with failures.. Seems pretty weird they are a well known Nismo product.

So is the engine f*cked?

Haha probably doing an engine build myself in the next couple of years and trying to get as much info as I can, along the way.

nah mate engine is fine, happened while dyno tuning so just need to change the pump.

Lose oil pressure and an engine will eat itself at idle if running long enough, yet alone while being run on a dyno.

And they removed the sump plug, no oil came out, and they can't work out why it has no oil pressure? Maybe because there's no oil in the sump...

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅

      Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
