I cant find a gasket for an n1 oil pump anywhere on ebay or anything theres a few threads that have all the nissan part number's they have the n1 pump's but no gasket anyone know where i can get one?.

No such thing. The gasket for the standard pump can be used with the N1 pump.

Yeh i was thinking might have to try and reuse the standard gasket if its still in good condition when it gets taken off. the place i got the pump from said they dont come with gasket's but they have them when trying to buy one from them there telling me they have run out. just have to give the original one a go i guess.

Thanks.

gasket in a tube works fine.

Never use sealants where a gasket should be, except as a last resort. This is especially important with something like this oil pump. Think about what happens when you tighten the bolts....the sealant gets squeezed out of the joint face and some of it is squeezed out into the oil passages. How much is dependent on how heavy handed you are, but it can affect oil flow in bad cases. There's a reason Nissan used a gasket.

i got a few spare here if you get stuck. DO NOT use only gasket goo.... engine failure is only a gallery blockage away...

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
