this is all good to hear, i have had my rb26 rebuild with eagle rods and acl pistons and rings but using a new standard r32 oil pump(early) and was looking at bigish kinda power. say 350awaks

Rebuilding your engine for that kind of power and not upgrading your oil pump/oil pump drive is crazy and now leaves your new engine with a serious weak point

Agreed, adding to that water pump, tensioners etc etc

the engine has the lot exept the new oil pump, well it does have a new pump. just an OEM one. i was running out of fund with the rebuild rather quickly so an oil pump like a nismo, trust, jun etc was out of the question.

wasnt too keen on the n1 as i have heard about 50% of them that are installed seem to fail, (i have heard this not saying its the truth or they are bad or what every). which actually turned me off the path of using one. so rather than wasting the cash having everything prep'd for an n1 oil pump and it failing the standard pump was decided. as im not looking at increasing the rev's over 7500. it was always out of the question in my mind to increase it that far.

eventually if i decide on going big power. ie 400+kws at the wheels i will have to budget to replace my oil pump with a decent name one. and i guess then i will need my crank collared as well. so im guessing another engine out job. so 5k for the lot this time?

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
