Hondas have those so the rotors aren't just floating on the wheel studs and prevents the rotors from moving around, particularly with the wheel off.

Either way dealer says there is an issue. Also a noise at idle, like a knocking sound. These two make for a bad combo. We are working out a resolve. He has been nice about everything, whole thing is just very unfortunate.

Also unfortunate is that this is basically the car I have been looking for, for a long time. White GT w/ Brembo and Rays.
If your oil pressure is running that low it is very bad. I would not even concider running the engine at all. I don't even like driving my Z with my guage pegged, but i have confirmed my pressure is not as high as it says. It appears that my problem is a short in wiring or in the factory guage.
Good luck with finding the problem. More then likely a faulty oil pump.

Yeah I've heard meh stuff about Jotech too. I know one of my friends with a GTR (since they are very well known for that now) said that most people on the GTR forums don't like them as much.
