Message	Hi all, was on track yesterday again with my Z and for the 1st time since the rebuilt (eagle rods and Nismo crankshaft and OEM bearings) my bearings are gone... I was running 23 psi, the car was really powerfull but... I don't understand what has cause this. I have the full set of Greddy warning Gauge and no alarm were reach. My oil level was perfect, using Castrol RS 10W60. Does the boost can create this? really need help or I will swap the engine...
