does anyone know officially how many miles the oil pump and the turbo's should last on a z32 300zx. I know it will depend on how the car is treated etc. Bit do nissan give a guide mileage

i've always heard, and it is only a ball park, as you said, depends on how it's been looked after etc, but 70k from a turbo, no idea about the oil pump tho...

Almost impossible to say, have seen scores of zeds with 150k miles on the clock still going strong and no engine or turbo issues to speak of, also have seen low mileage ones that have let go, some the fault of the owner some not.

 

I would say that there is no time or mileage indicators of when a unit will fail as there are too many variables to take in to account such as driving style, service level etc. no to one left hand drive zed we deal with had 275k miles on the clock before the engine was pulled, original turbo`s and one clutch replacement in that time, but it was serviced to hell but also driven hard (not thrashed), but all autobarn may be thats the key, maybe town traffic is the killer
