what's involved in doing a pump r and r in an R32 GTR with the engine in? doable within reason? those reimax gears look the goods.

you wouldn't do it...seriously, pulling the donk and doing it properly is a piece of cake. Id hate to see your anguish after seeing the sump leaking after trying to do it in the car only to go through the process again to try and fix leaking again.

Shanef ,can you elaborate on the powertune gears? are these sh1t ?

I wouldnt say they are shit, they are however made of a low grade material. They have a nice CNC machined finished aswell.

Saying that, in my view they can be improved upon in many ways :D.

too late shane, whats the reason behind that though?

I threw the stock on in the bin, shit :D

they are a saw tooth gear design...not a gerotor like other RB pumps. Saw tooth pumps are less prone to breaking due to harmonic vibration.

Hey Paul, i was almost set on getting a Tomei pump for my 2530 , there like high $1600's delivered (well they were 2 days ago, now 1750.... but the dollar is set to climb apparently.)

Do you seriously reccomend a Nitto over one of these ? If so what can you do one for ?

Wow a lot more response than I thought,

I can see there is a lot of banter about N1, I agree any pump will fail due to serious abuse, but how often do you hear of any Greddy, Jun, Tomei, Nismo etc pumps just randomly failing even when not abused? Before I rebuilt the RB25 it had 6 times more abuse at similar and higher RPM than this N1 and the stock pump held just fine even with the crap 1/4 depth pump drive.

I am surprised no one has commented on the Nismo pump considering it is in the middle of the price range.

I am thinking about doing some testing on the materials used in as many of the pumps I can fidn, does anyone have any old parts of inner and/or outer ring's they would like to mail me (only need 10-15mm of each each), get a good profile of all the different pumps?

Reslo bought, or is buying the last one from the group buy...around $500 cheaper than the Tomei pump. The Nitto gears are designed and manufactured in Germany and are made from superior material than any other OEM style pump. If Reslo pulls out of the sale the last one is yours, if not ill contact the group buy supplier to see if they will do another lot of 5 pumps at the reduced price.

fark me, i took the cover off to have a look as well and being a noob though the saw design looked pretty rubbish

might go cry myself to sleep

back on topic

same design the tomei pump is based on, hence its awesomeness

why do they need to be made in Germany? Its not like there arent any machines here in australia that can't do the job. You don't even use a bloody conventional CNC to do them properly.

plus all (from what i've seen) aftermarket pump housings are shitty cast housings, f**k me they'd only cost ~600 to make

or is Germany code for Taiwan?

Just awaiting shipping prices :D

Ok, thanks Paul, let me know.

Just out of curiosity, assuming money wasn't a consideration, would you pick the tomei over any other ?

So the Tomei uses a Saw tooth design ? Anyone got any nice pics to show of one open ?

Also for the guru's..... whats the disadvantage of the saw tooth design ?? I ask as i assume the newer gerotor design is better somehow since nissan swapped to them. (from a factory motor point of view not racing)

Saw tooth or not ive seen what a Nitto pump is capable of...im not gambling on other brands when i know i don't need to. Id buy a Nitto over a Tomei.

Gerotor pumps are more efficient in working, but easily damaged from foreign material running through them, whilst gear pumps (saw tooth types) can easily pass crap and not get damaged (too badly)....they are more forgiving and genereally more reliable.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
