I saw some oil temps higher that what I have been seeing while at Barber and am wondering if the oil pump is starting to get tired. It was a really hot weekend so it could've just been the weather, but thought I'd check to be sure. I saw oil temps in the 215 range during qualy when water temps were just 180. Oil pressure was pretty low at idle, in the 15 psi range, but seemed to be ok at speed. I'm not 100% certain the oil temp sender isn't flaky as the oil temp dropped pretty rapidly once I shut the car off. It was down to 175 in a matter of minutes.

Do the oil pumps wear out on 240sx's? I checked Courtesy and they show two different part numbers for oil pumps. There's an 001 and an 002 part. I can't tell what is the difference. I also recall reading about using a brass bushing of some sort to lessen wear.

Any input appreciated.
