Hey All,

I am currently working with an engineering frim in SA looking into getting a MUCH stronger gear set for the N1 oil pumps. These will be just the gears for N1 pump, but made out of some really strong billit steal (or whatever will do the job).

I'm expecting them to cost somewhere around the $400 mark for the gear set alone, but i'll be visiting them again early this comming week to hopefully get a better idea about price and maybe a bit more detail on the materials and delivery time frame.

Depending on intrest i'm looking at a batch of 5 or 10 and will be completed by May the 22nd at the latest.

I'll be happy to ship interstate but will cost you an extra $5-10 (depending on how you want it shipped etc)

let me know if your interested, but i'll need at least 4 other keen people before this can get off the ground

thanks

Luke

Should be a lot of people interested in this if they've seen the price of jap brand pumps lately

Making it as an all inclusive kit to fit a in a stock pump case would be a good idea so buyers dont need to run around and find anymore parts

the pump has been delayed in getting to me, expecting it late this week now =(

but as soon as i get it i'll be down there for the engineers to take a look at it.

N1GTR: what sort of things would you be looking for in a kit?

thanks

I have been looking into this as well, i have had a whole oil pump on the CMM and im going to look at doing a whole pump, with external oil relif etc. The only think i could say with gets for a N1 is that if you look at a tomei pump, the gears are physically much larger diameter, this gives the gear more thickness so its harder to crack them in the "troughs" of the wave pattern.

there wasen't a whole lot of interest, so i've put this on the back burner for a little while. i'll see if i can get some free time in the next week or so to head on out to the engineers (takes over an hour to travel there from my place), i'm also intending on taking my stock pump out there for them to have a look at as well - was a shame that the pump didn't arrive while i was on holidays

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
