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...

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
