hey guys, im currently under the build of a rb25 for my s13 silvia. lookin at fully forged bottom end with cams n porting up the top and plenty of the usual stuff... already got most the gear. the thing im not sure about is what to do about the oil pump drive, either im thinking just wack on a crank collar and a oil pump to suite. believe a late 32 gtr onwards pump will fit?? also many aftermarket options. OR... is it just as easy to put a 32gtr onwards crankshaft (long crank) on with rb26 oil pump and aftermarket rb26 pistons and rods to suite? and this would fix the oil pump drive issue? any info on puttin the rb26 crank in a rb25 would be helpfull. thanks guys, adam.

anyone else got any ideas??? im about to order pistons from usa so i need to make sure that all i need is cp pistons to suite a rb26, rb25/26 eagle rods and then source a long crank here. are all the crank main journals the same? thanks again.

honestly? i have already purchased the pistons and rods... going to look at a crank shaft tomorrow night. what about oil pump? ive heard the only diff between N1 and stock is higher oil pressurer which is acheivable through installing a shim in the standard pump pressure relief valve anyways. is this true or is there more to it? thanks.

I would use a gtr crank and pistons. Dont bother with rods, dirtgarage is(was) selling a set of cleaned up stockers that are stronger than most aftermarket ones. He made over 400awkw with a set of stockers.

Ive also heard that the r33 gtr pump and the n1 are identical apart from the relief valve, however they cost about the same. What pistons did you end up getting, rb25 or 26, that will depict what crank you have to run.

Which "stock" oil pump are you comparing the N1 to?

An early R32GTR "stock" oil pump? The N1 pump has the wide drive flange, the early R32GTR oil pump doesn't, they have the narrow drive flange. The N1 oil pump also has a different rotor configuration and the higher oil pressure relief valve.

A late R32GTR "stock" oil pump? They both have the wide drive flange,but the N1 oil pump also has a different rotor configuration and the higher pressure relief valve

An R33GTR "stock" oil pump? They both have the wide drive flange, but the N1 oil pump also has a different rotor configuration and the higher pressure relief valve

An R33GTR V SPec "stock" oil pump? They both have the wide drive flange and the same rotor configuration, but the N1 oil pump has the higher pressure relief valve

An R34GTR "stock" oil pump? They both have the wide drive flange, the same rotor configuration and the higher pressure relief valve

Simple isn't it?

But wait there is more. Nissan has superceded some part numbers, so even if you order an early R32GTR pump you will most likely get a late model one anyway.

i got cp rb26 pistons, hopefully get long crank tomorrow night

i was refering to a late model, since thats the crank i will be using. the main reason i decided to go to a rb26 crank in the 1st place was to fix the oil pump drive issue. thanks for the info sk, so pretty much im better off just goin N1 by the sounds of it. is the cheapest option getting it through nissan for trade price or does someone know somewhere else that sells them cheaper. i see spool on ebay has them for $390... cheers

    • Even with no BOV you will have issues unless the MAF is a hot film type like the R35 which has some design features to deal with reversion. Hot wire MAFs are very sensitive.
    • So i just change the (whatever is inside ma original MAF and slide the R34 MAF (it is gonna fit right in? ) and somewhere on the hot side a BoV...i presume that would be vented to the atmo? I just "trying" to understand...maybe my mechanic would know this   I would not mind(even prefer) to run stock BoV cuz it is way more than fine but i do not have that and only pipeing what is left is oem J pipe ... I will be running Blitz fmic(to fit oem one side style) and i gonna need custom pipes cuz i do not have rest of those pipes and hoses... But i am want standalone ECU. Only choice i have atm is Nistune...but that is not gonna cut it right?I dont know what Nistune can and cant do... I know you guys know Link and Haltech...but whatabout ECUmaster? I know guys in here run those but i literally do not know about that and do not know differences... Just know to take whatever "my" tuner can work on.  
    • Is that the blue one rpm?  
    • Update 2: Today I'm f**king pissed. Some of you probably saw my thread that I opened shortly after joining this forum, "urgently need expert/experienced opinion", in which I discussed the possibility of a porous RB26 engine block which I also found hard to believe. Currently both turbos are out since the shitty braided line that was installed by whoever fitted the GT28 turbos leaked oil onto the exhaust. Today while working on the cam covers to put new gaskets and half moons in, I cleaned the side of the engine block with brake cleaner. Some time later I saw that it was still glistening with oil or coolant so I dried that off. But it was wet again shortly after. Verdict: I'm royally screwed. What you can see here (hopefully, despite shit resolution), circled in red, is a crack above the turbo oil feed. Extent is a few cm long and basically goes from #3 cylinder wall to #4 cylinder wall. It slowly lets coolant through, even without any pressure behind it. I am absolutely dumbfounded as to how this crack even formed, especially since it isn't along the cylinder as it usually is but rather a horizontal crack. Probably a few cm in length. Not sure on how to deal with this issue right now. Most likely, the only true fix is a new engine block, and even a relatively well done temporary fix requires at least a full engine teardown. Neither of those really fit my timetable right now, the car has been in my buddy's garage long enough as it is. I'm open to suggestions, but I'll be looking into ordering a new 05U block soon so I have one ready for the coming year, or whenever the current block inevitably fails fully. (Most likely once the crack reaches one of the frost plugs) I think it'd be a waste of money and time to rebuild the engine with this block. Oh and I found a rust hole on the side pocket of the trunk, which someone covered up with sealant goop, a piece of number plate and bodywork filler. Fun times. So far for every issue we fix we just find a new one that is arguably worse.
    • I have not found this no. I put one back on a couple days ago with no drama. I agree they are tight, but no need to remove anything.
