So I’m doing gallery gaskets on my 05 350z, and I found huge metal pieces in my oil pan just wanna see if anyone can identify what they are from, any info would be great! Little back story bought the car drove it for a day oil pressure was perfect, did some donuts and when I got back to my house notice oil pressure was almost 0 at idle but would get up to about 15-20 while driving, but the engine still sounds super healthy

Looks like an oil squirters, I bet you spun a rod bearing and the piston skirt bumped the squirter and broke it. Looks like there’s chunks of piston skirt there too. Definitely a tear down project, sorry bro
You can see the squirters at the base of each parallel set of pistons
