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.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
