hey all

after the worst day ever yesterday... well not really the worst, but it was pretty shit... i need a new water pump asap!!

ive searched through the forums only to find a "this person said this will fit" or "this will fit but this is different" etc.

im running low on cash, so i dont want to find out tomorrow that the one i got doesnt fit and have to get another one.. i also need the car asap.

i want to know, from someone who has done it.. what water pump you used... where you got it from.. what the part number is.. and maybe how much.

noone has a listing for an rb20..

PLEASE HELP!!!!!

ive had the car, not even a week, and i spent all yesterday finding another radiator after mine cracked, put it in, and then the water pump shaft decided to shit itself and sling the fan into my nice new 2nd hand radiator.. and my bike is on the fritz... im at my wits end!!

cheers

dude go into like sprints or an auto shop (sprints is in SA, not sure about NSW) and ask for a VL water pump. RB20s bottom end is the same as a VL

shouldnt cost too much, will be shit load cheaper then genuine :spank:

yeh i got an RB30 one and it fit straight up... absolutley no dramas. cost me $80 for an aftermarket one.. wanted to go genuine but nissan didnt even have one. will be getting a better pump when i have some more cash and more time.

NOTE: ALWAYS REPLACE YOUR WATER PUMP WHEN YOU DO YOUR TIMING BELT!! I BOUGHT MY CAR WITH THE BELT DONE, BUT THE WATER PUMP NOT TOUCHED, AFTER 4000KMS THE WATER PUMP SHAFT SHAT ITSELF AND SNAPPED AND THREW THE FAN INTO THE RADIATOR, COSTING 2 DAYS WITHOUT A CAR, A SATURDAY PULLING IT ALL DOWN AND $300 THAT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER SPENT. THIS WILL STOP YOUR CAR WHERE EVER YOU ARE... PUTTY ROAD... M7... F3... COULD BE JUST IN THAT SPOT WHERE YOU GET NO MOBILE RECEPTION..

It could be even worse, have a look at your old pump if you still have it, normaly the first thing to go is the seal and it leaks water from a little hole in the bottom of the pump, check to see if there is sillicon in that hole.

I just recently had to do my water pump so i did the belt as well, only problem is that one of the bolt holes you use to get the balancer off was stripped so it tokk us 4-5 hours just to get that off.

Another tip, NEVER buy a second hand pump, for all the work you have to go through to change it there is no reason to risk using s second hand unit.

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
