I highly doubt you need an upgraded oil pump for 200rwks... I'm pushing around 260rwkw with standard oil pump without any oil control issues for about 10months now.

I have done my water pump though due to '100,000km service'.

I'm only pushing 170RWKW's in my RB20 and I just did a big end bearing up at wakefield due to oil starvation. In saying that I was bouncing of 7500 rev limiter (maybe not bouncing but it was a drift day) and had the car being thrown around fairly violently.

So unless you are belting your car side to side, and redlining it, you don't have much to worry about, But i would do it if you were building your motor :)

Yes - on the proviso you have done the rest of the mods.

183 rwkw in a GTS-t is very good so I suspect you have a few mods already. FMIC, Zorst, Turbs, Puter etc....If you want to push 200rwkws - safe not sorry. Spend now and save later. Would you risk an engine rebuild?

I don't know how much over 200rwkw your going to go, but do you think upgrading your Oilpump is the only thing you need to keep up that power level?

It is a bit of work to change the oilpump.

Its an 94 r33 gtst This is My first nissan skyline so i am not sure on what mods i need to do so it does not blow my engine and to get more power

Ok, as its your first skyline ill be very blunt;

-Changing oil pumps in a GTST is a waste of time with that power level, or if its working fine

-You will break the oil pump if you bounce off the redline time and time again

-Always warm up before using more than 30% throttle on cold start

-Always cool down (fit a turbo timer if you're a leadfoot)

-Before adding power, sort out suspension and a short shifter for the gearbox

-Once you've got it sorted suspension wise look for more power

Powerwise;

-FMIC (forum sponsors)

-EBC (forum sponsors)

-HKS GTRS kit (forum sponsors)

-ECU, ideally one that uses MAP vs TPS for mapping (forum sponsors)

-Quality exhaust including highflow cat, good dump pipe (forum sponsors)

:/

EDIT: If you need any further clarification, call a few workshops and get quotes for "just a new oil pump fitted" :laugh:

    • Maybe I used the wrong sandwich plate as well. Used one piece instead of two piece.  
    • Y'know what, after reading a topic on a 360kw build using a nistune (who ended up going LINK), im now considering a LINK over a nistune. The engine protection alone would probably be worth it. And id like to learn to tune so would be nice to have that safe guard. Which means i probably wont need a boost controller then, or the R35 MAF.  Becoming a bit of a blog now but oh wells. As mentioned previously, the goal is around 300kw, for a daily driver. Will be looking at fitting a highflow turbo or similar (something that doesnt require downpipes, manifolds etc to be changed out) when the current stock gives out or the money for it is there. 
    • Thanks guys. Are you meant to tighten the converter bolts through the starter motor hole? Think my plate between gearbox and engine is one piece. Im heading up there tomorrow.
    • Picked my tailshaft up yesterday arv!! Test fit it and because they've gone to a ford centre bearing and CV I had to modify the mounting bracket a little bit. 5mm of each side and she went up into position and fits well. It has a 1350 uni and flange on the gearbox end so it should be plenty strong!  Got stuck in this morning and started on the wiring mess. Cut out all the wires not required that go to the body connector and cut the engine harness out. Need to go through and work out which ones I need to keep and rewire into the new ecu. Should save a small amount of weight as well. I'd love to get in and rip the dash and everything out to completely remove wiring but cbf.  Next up was the power harness for alternator, starter etc. It has a few connectors from factory that run out of it. Cut it all apart and removed what was no longer required and put some new corro and taped it all back up and bolted it all back into place.  After that I worked out where I can mount the new flex sensor. Found a couple of factory bolt holes and drilled a new hole on the bracket to suit. Need to go get a few fittings and adapters tomorrow so I can keep going.   
    • Nah, im after the more newer looking, one with the OLED display
