ive rung a few places so far, justjap, uas, and nissan. nissan want 500+ for a standard rb25det oil pump and justjap and uas dont stock the standard pumps.

if worse comes to worse ill be getting an n1 pump from justjap for 499 but does anyone know anywhere else that would have standard rb25det oil pumps?

Powerplay did a oem airbox for a good price for me ages ago, give them a try maybe?

Steve: Troy at Nissan has left, and the new guys are useless

SECURITY: I really think you need to be sure about what you are dealing with before you go buying a new oil pump unless you are certain that your current pump has a problem, especially since you are obviously doing this on a shoestring budget.

Lift the engine out, and strip and reassemble it properly - without using assembly lube on the bores!

we're going to pull the oil pump off and have a look at it, if it seems ok then we're going to look at the clearances of the rod bearings.

but we put in new standard bearings, and the old bearings were standard so the only thing left would be the oil pump.

whats happening is its running, except ive got what sounds like a lifter noise. just a clicking in the head, but that could be caused by the thinner oil and a dodgy oil pump.

oil pressure rises to 30+ psi when its at around 3000rpm, so its got me stumped!

it was done right, just because we didnt have a workshop doesnt mean it was done wrong. and to the best of my knowledge the oil pump was fine so we didnt think of changing it.

it isnt a big problem. its either the big ends or oil pump. ill be changing both while the sump is off anyway. bearings cost me $60 so it isnt a big deal to change them to be on the safe side. im buying an n1 oil pump this thursday so it'll all be fixed over the weekend.

Mate you don't understand its got nothing to do with having a workshop. Take the engine out of the car, take the crank out and have it checked by someone that knows and has the tools to do it .You say you checked the bearing clearances , how can you do it on the car ? By using new bearings again its not going to make any difference if they are the same size as before .

You must have done something wrong otherwise she would be fine. If i was you i would check the piston to bore clearance too , it has nothing to do with oil pressure but it may have something to do with the clicking sound ( piston slap if the clearance is to big ) . You should also service the cil head while you are at it, saves you having to pull it off in the very near future .

im just going to leave it to my brother in law. hes confident he knows what the problem is, its too much of a damn headache for me.

thanks wrxhoon, hope you dont mind if i pm you another time if ive got any problems mate. cheers.

security I understand you are trying to do this cheap but I guess the point is you've done a commodore style rebuild on a skyline :D

I'm sure you want car that you can take back to the strip and trhash when you are finished, for god sake don't cut corners and end up with a problem a third time.

Take the motor out

Get the bottom end cleaned and tested and honed properly

Deck the block

Then have the bearing, piston and ring clearances checked.

Buy a new oil pump.

Get the crank measured for straightness.

Get it all balanced.

Get new rod bolts.

Get the right size bearings.

Check the ring end gaps to make sure they are right.

Make sure you have the right grade pistons for your current piston clearances.

Clean the bottom end out properly instead of leaving the shavings from the honing floating around in the block.

Shave the head

Get the head pressure tested

Yes I would know I've done it cheap and wrong myself.

Or failing that do what I did and install a second hand motor. The fact is you did hge damage with that melted piston but never cleaned the block out....

Good luck with it all ;)

I'm with Duncan & WRXHOON. Take it out and do it properly or you're pissing money into the wind. It's just going to break the way you've built it now there's been too many corners cut. You CANNOT build an engine properly, especially a high performance once, without taking it out of the car.

If you're not going to listen to the answers don't bother asking the questions, we're only going to tell you "I told you so" afterwards.

Good luck getting it sorted anyhow but for your own sake please take the engine out and build it properly.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
