Yeah Andrew, I was looking at getting a Jun oil pump installed, but the engine in mine, since it's a 94 model, it won't suffer from the early model crank failure due to the different sized crank? I've heard of many oil pump failures in pre 1992 GTR's?

But still... I wouldn't mind installing a Jun item just for the piece of mind... but taking out the crossmember, etc is massive in labour! And as you said, it's like a snowball effect after that lol.

The late model cranks are certainly better with the full width oil pump drive, and this will definately ensure your pump lasts longer, but ultimately it is the strength of the oil pump gear which lets you down. Also harmonic vibration through the crank doesn't help the standard pumps out, an aftermarket balancer will help to minimise the effects of this. In your application, I wouldn't be too concerned about your oil pump expiring unless you spend time on the rev limiter.

Cool ok that answers that for me. I'll get them to chuck it on next time I get my car serviced.

Gonna get power steering, hicas, brakes and radiator all flushed out, all filters replaced and all valves cleaned. Gonna be a little smoother I reckon once done

-D

I have an N1 water pump in my car also, never had a temperature issue at all even on the track running flat out lap after lap. I also have the oil over filled all the time and never had a problem at lala even running 230kw.

daaaammm id be sooo keen if i had my tx3 still. took it out to lala once, was a great exp.

not so keen on taking an auto car to a race track lol. it shits me driving through hills as I cant use the gears properly, cant imagine it being any better on the track.

keen as anything to take the 200 out there, but i need to mod my seat rails before i do that, throw a helmet on my head and id be forced to cruise around with my head cocked to the side...

but if i can get a few things done before then, ill be there.

Yah id love to come, maybe later on in the year. Had a run through the hills on the weekend after installing the new boost controller. At only 10psi up the real hilly sections going full tilt she was getting a little hotter then normal. On half way where usually only gets mac inbetween a quarter and half. Car is fairly stock only POD and standard GTS-t intercooler. So yah Ill wait get my front mount then be keen as to give her a good stretch of the old legs :down::P

I need to do the same! Stupid sunroof. What's the easiest way to lower the seat? Can u just get different rails or will I need to get a racing seat?

Me and my mate are keen as to go out and are trying to get our cars sorted for the track.

ill come out...

i have a fair standard rb25 with turbo, afm, injectors, fmic, exhaust, pfc..

will i need anything to help me get through the day??

oil cooler, relocation kit?

cheers

oil cooler is nice to have but not essential at your level. Just check all your consumables - brake pads, fluids etc and bring fuel :-) my beast uses almost 2 litres per lap hehehe

I think im gonna take a spare set of pads with me this time and i'll go get another jerry can so i have 2, im pretty sure i'll use a lot of fuel this time.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
