i posted this in general maintenance but didnt get a response, so i thought i'd try in here.

ive bought an n1 oil pump for my rebuild and ive been told by justjap that theyre a direct fit for rb25det. ive also heard from other sources that they arent a direct fit and need to be modified somehow, he said the actual pump needs to be modified, not the crank collar (which is what is needed for the rb30 I THINK).

whats the story with them? do they or dont they need to be modified?

Why not street use? Arent there heaps of GTR's that run this pump on the street?

the n1 variants are for track use only and not street use.

i think i recall reading they are in fact worse for a street car.

they are designed for high constant revving and not plodding around a street, idling etc

another classic example of how this moderator is not helping the forum! =( Isn't it best not to comment if you don't know for sure what you're talking about?? talk about fundamentals.

I too can confirm it fits directly no modifications required. What people suggest in terms of modifying your rb25 setup, is the restriction of oil to to the head, as people have commented on this forum, that not enough oil is left in the sump at the pickup. To get around this, you can install a front mount oil cooler kit to add to the amount of oil capacity. It is recommended that a larger aftermarket sump be fitted if you intend to be constantly revving (ie drifting) or track use. But if not, then it will be fine.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
