Need some advice.

last weekend i was driving and i saw my oil light flickering and the engine started to sound like a diesel engine, so i parked the car and let it cool down and then checked the oil and it was full, so i went home and did a change of oil and filter, started her up and the problem looked like it was fixed, so i took her for a drive and i noticed that when the temp. reached 1/2 it started to do the same thing. My feeling is that the oil pump is on its way out, so as the engine gets warm the pump starts to shut down. Anyone every had this problem? Am i thinking along the correct line or is there something else wrong with the engine? Any help would be good

p.s. its a rb20 single cam engine

Thanks

to take the sump off u can either pull the engine out or if you have access to a hoist support the engine using a special support bar and chain then drop the crossmember off, i know koz i did this myself on my 32 koz it had the same problem but after cleaning out the sump an removing the oil pickup an replacing the gasket it was fine, it only made it easier for me being a mechanic so i could easily drop the crossmember without takin it right out, by which is a total biatch to get back together

I used this opportunity to tell the wife i might need to change my engine and to convert my car to a project car (as i would like to do everything meaning and build up a good strong car), so i went by a guy who brings in used parts from japan, and told him i was interested in going with the rb25det set up. I had my heart set on the neo rb25det, but he told me that engine is trouble and to go with the rb25det with the ignitor. Now i have been searching on the net to see people's experience with both engines, but i have not seen anything bad about the neo. My thinking for going with the neo is that its a newer engine which should = less miles and its rated at 280hp the same as the rb26dett (without the cost of the rb26).

Have any of you guys had a bad experience with the neo?

Which one would you suggest neo or non-neo

thanks.

Thanks guys, I would go with the neo, its 3,000.00 more than the non-neo. I think this guy brings in good parts, i have bought parts from him and so far no problems. So my baby would be out for a few months as i plan to do it like a project car (diff, fmic, suspension etc.) every month i would buy something and put on before the engine goes in, that way i would have a good strong/safe car at the end of the build. would take pics and step by step and post it when she's done.

Thanks again

this down in Trinidad and Tobago so that's TTD so the non neo would be 12,000.00TTD and the Neo is 15,000.00TTD, now you could get it for less but this guy brings in good engines and i think its better to put the extra to get a good engine, plus if there are any problems he does not give trould to change the parts. yeah things down in trinidad real expensive.

i put a rb25det s1 in my cefiro, whole time i planned to run a neo or even 2j but when it comes down to money you can only do so much.. if you stretch your budget too much you'll end up with a dodgy set-up rather than something similar thats very reliable

s1 or s2 ftw !!

    • haha don't worry I'm sue you've got more fun ahead buying a 30 year old turbo car....but at least you are in the right place to ask
    • some days eh? The keyless entry and interior light on/off with the key will be controlled by the Body Control Module, but I'm not certain where that is or what it looks like (you might get lucky with a search to get a part#, which could be printed on it). I'd start at the A pillar/ Under dash/kick panel on the driver's side
    • It might be hit and miss, but Nissan Genuine Parts and Pitworks are not the same thing, although both are available from Nissan Dealers with Nissan Part Numbers. Nissan Genuine Parts are the OEM stuff, Pitworks are their attempt to get people back from generic parts makers
    • I did end up getting it sorted, as GTSBoy said, there was a corroded connection and wire that needed to be replaced. I ended up taking out the light assembly, giving everything a good clean and re-soldered the old joints, and it came out good.
    • Wow, thanks for your help guys 🙏. I really appreciate it. Thanks @Rezz, if i fail finding any new or used, full or partial set of original Stage carpets i will come back to you for sure 😉 Explenation is right there, i just missed it 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for pointing out. @soviet_merlin in the meantime, I received a reply from nengun, and i quote: "Thanks for your message and interest in Nengun. KG4900 is for the full set of floor mats, while KG4911 is only the Driver's Floor Mat. FR, RH means Front Right Hand Side. All the Full Set options are now discontinued. However, the Driver's Floor Mat options are still available according to the latest information available to us. We do not know what the differences would be, but if you only want the one mat, we can certainly see what we can find out for you". Interesting. It seems they still have some "new old stock" that Duncan mentioned 🤔. I wonder if they can provide any photos......And i also just realized that amayama have G4900 sets. I'm tempted too.
