Hi Guys and Gals,

Lets start off with the issue im having. When i rev the car and let go off the accelerator the car drops rpm (as it normally would) till about 1500 rpm and then goes all the way down to nearly turning off and sometimes just manages to stay on and then come back to normal idle or just turns off......

Second issue is with the new n1 oil pump in the oil pressure stays on the line between 0 and 4 (impressuming 2) when the car is idling and when you rev it, the guage just goes upto just under 4 at normal temp and just above 4 when cold. I presumed that the n1 oil pump should be putting out more oil pressure???? Thoughts??

The car has an rb26dett in it. Mods are 3inch full exhaust, bov(dont ask me wat brand, some japanese brand written in jap), hks pods, n1 oil pump & hks stage 1 cams.

We had to rip out the engine coz the car lost oil pressure so i put in the n1 oil pump and when we started it back up the above mentioned problem is happening.

Cars still at the mechanics shop

Any ideas....... Please help

Rj

grab a mates BOV....through it on...see what happens...could have a pretty monior leak that the comp pics up and tells it to shut down...like when you blow a turbo pipe....its what i discovered with my stock BOV......and by the sounds of it...you could have the equvilent of "home brand" BOV

n1 oil pump runs less pressure than stock, not more - it is designed for sustained high rev use when the standard pump puts too much oil into the head.

around 2-4ish isnt really a problem for oil pressure it depends on the temp of the engine and the wieght of the oil of course

    • I see you've never had to push start your own car... You could save some weight right now...
    • Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol. 
    • Hi, Got the membership renewal email but haven't acted yet.  I need to change my address first. So if somebody can email me so I can change it that would be good.    
    • Bit of a similar question, apprently with epoxy primer you can just sand the panel to 240 grit then apply it and put body filler on top. So does that basically mean you almost never have to go to bare metal for simple dents?
