kinda..... but not really haha.. just wanna make sure my facts are straight before i start barkin....
So I finally got the oil pump fig'ed out... went with a TSS 3v billet pump...
from talking with mike at L&M engines, he suggested that I just try to get the billet gear from TSS and swap it into my stock pump while also using the stock 3v bypass spring. sticking with the 3v confirguration or bypass spring just offers overall better oiling and pressures at all RPM's ranges on the 3v motors... Or thats what I got from Mike and Craig of TSS.... Also, buying just the gear was only 40-50 bucks cheaper then buying awhole new pump meening ill be getting all I have now plus a billet gear and o-ringed pump housing... So i said fuck it, give me anew pump.... man, what a learing experiance... if im off on any of this feel free to

That's why they make heaters, so you don't have to freeze.
Just got done installing a Wolf Tech clutch and flywheel in my friends 350Z today. Comfortable 65* the whole time while it's been 20 outside and a white out all day.
