I'm after an AFM for my R32 GTR. I'm hoping to pay as little as possible Contact: Julian - 0401 88 5555

Hi, I recently fitted a new water pump for my RB26 while doing a rebuild. It began to leak water, and when it was pulled out it didn't appear to fit correctly meaning: "The pump had different bolt spacings, and the hole they provide is elongated". I've discussed this with the people I bought the part from, they are not entirely sure on which part it should be. The part that has been fitted on the car is W900, this shop suspects that maybe it should have been W898 and apparently they have two reference points that say different things. I was wondering if anyone has fitted a W900 water pump, or a W898 water pump on their RB26, and how it went? Thanks.

Cheers mate I'll do the test.

ha ha, yes I can tell that's going to be a friendly conversation.

Hi everyone, I just took my freshly rebuilt car out to the shop to get a roadworthy. The guy at the shop failed me saying there was a bit of oil leaking out from the left hand side of the motor. I drove the car up one street to work, parked. When I came back about ten minutes later there was about two litres of oil out on the road. Before this I was thinking that the motor was getting a bit hot, it reached about 90 degrees, but it's a hot day. I've looked at the leak and I can't tell exactly where it's coming from yet. It appears to be coming from the front left hand side. The sump bolt is in, it's not on the turbo side, and I don't think it's the oil filter. I poured some more oil into the car, and I haven't started it. It hasn't leaked a drop of it?!? Does anyone have any thoughts/experience with what this could be? I suppose I should be greatful that there were actually 2 litres of oil in the car when I stopped. Cheers.

Oops...............well there you go, you can get em.

This is true, from what I understand -5's aren't in production at the moment and although they are advertised on some sites, they are totally unavailable. I tried for quite a while to find a pair of -5's and couldn't. Good luck with sale.

Doh, I went and had a look. You're totally right, the crank has to be machined right back, and it is obvious that it needs the new collar.

Apparently you have to heat treat the collar to fit it on, and that's fine. The problem is that it seems to be like 5mm out. It just seems like a lot to machine. The motor should be an early model r32 one (December 89), but who knows what's coming out from Japan.

I am currently in the process of rebuilding my rb26 out of an r32. I am rebuilding it because the oil pump started playing up as they so often do. I got the N1 pump and the pump collar. The motor looked untouched when we pulled it down. It is now getting put back together and the crank is in. The guy who is putting it back together is now telling me that there is no way that he can get the oil pump collar on. He also says that the pump is currently a perfect fit, and that I don't need the collar. My thinking is that of course it fits, but I should still need the collar. He is adamant that the collar is exactly the same dimensions as the fitting on the crank. I haven't seen it yet. My question is, can I check my engine number to see if the block is from an r33 GTR? And, does anyone know what might be going on? Thanks in advance.

Spotted.....bright yellow r32 GTR with front mount intercooler. Last night in the city.

That's brilliant mate, thanks.

I called ESP and got a pretty good quote. If anyone has any other places they would like to recommend though that would still be great. Cheers.

I did.
