I get home after a nights watching drift videos at my brothers house and settle in for the evenings read of SAU with a mug of milo. Sounds relaxing huh?

Well just as im getting comfortable my alarm goes off. Now my Autowatch NEVER false alarms so instantly im panicking. I run to the bedroom to get the knife, grab the keys on the way and stop the siren for the neighbours sake. Run out the front ready to put some f%&ker in a world of hurt and..... nothing. Not a soul around.

So i stand out the front of the house for a good 15 minutes, knife in hand muttering things like "cmon you pricks, come get some!". Neighbours must think im a little crazy.

So i check the car over, make sure the doorlocks havent been tampered with etc... All is well, but im still bloody nervous.

Now how the hell am I meant to sleep?

that happened to me once, I had an Autowatch with the ultrasonic sensors so any movement within the car would set it off.

there was this night when i was at a friend's place, alarm went off, went out to check it out...nothing.

2-3 mins later alarm went off again...went out to check again...nothing! :)

Decided to sit in my car for awhile and see what's going on, turns out there was a bloody moth trapped inside that was setting the sensors off! :D

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.

      Don't do what I did, use a 300000km old housing with billet gears. The old pump probably was clearanced with saw dust, Edward Lee's special engine treatment sauce and a good odo wind back. I had oil pressure issues, then replaces pump with new housing, new billet gears and 2x track day later binned a motor due to other oil related issues due to a previous engine builder. Long story short, buy a M2 or 3 or 4 N55/S55/S58 and enjoy life.

      Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".

      Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.

      Right, but if you replace the pump gears + put a spline or sine drive gear on the crank on a Nismo/OEM/N1/etc pump at that point do you really still want more flow/oil pressure? Let's say this is a the aforementioned "keep it simple" build, no more than ~400 kW at the crank.
