Furthermore everyone should dry sump without question regardless of their needs or requirement as risk is not good.

problem with a dry sump setup is cost - for something decent you are looking at up to 7k

Ofcourse every oil pump is a risk. But we dont log on here to see every couple of months a comment about how my std oil pump just killed my motor, or my (insert brand name here) pump just shat itself...its always the N1 pumps that come up either on here, or in conversation/passing comment or someone at the track blows one up.

Its obvious the risk is higher using one, its virtually the point of this thread. Hearing one bad story should be enough. It was for me, except ive been exposed to multiple, whether on here or at the track. Im sure alot of people who have seen this thread will agree with myself and the others who share the same opinion about N1 pumps.

Its simple. You get whatever puts your mind at ease and fits in with your budget.

Dry sumps all round for everybody.....hooray :P

guys loosing sleep over the pumps go and buy the reinik (edit reimax... still getting used to name change) gears. they are very highly regarded in japan and folks smarter than me have been using them in aus with great success. they may not be jumping up and down telling everyone about it, but the price is right, they have the research behind them to back up their product and that should be the end of your oil pump problems.

If you're spending 7k on a dry sump setup you're spending too much.

nitto would be my choice, crd has been exposed to all oil pumps available and i trust the opinion of a man who started modifying gtr's when we were all still playing with matchbox cars and smashing them with hammers to simulate an accident

dry sump for me is overkill for a weekend warrior

Where are these available from?

I still think the best fix would be a splined collar/gear.

Cheapest Reimax gear set i can find so far is 670 au + del. through Greenline.

It probably is best value for $$$ if you are planning on taking your engine to pieces or in the build stage.

Lookin forward to these new gears!

would they work on a stock pump? or does the stock pump not provide enough pressure?

say compared to a n1?

They can be made to suit a stock pump, but these first ones are going to be for the N1 pump.

Pump selection should be left upto the engine builder.

I to had a n1 let go on e and decided to go external pump

i have had no probles since and thrash it of limeter all day at the track and the cost was not to bad

$1000 for peterson single stage pump

$200 for mandrel for the crank

$200 for speedflow fittings

and 1 day in the gargae making a bracket for the pump

This is the way to go imo

That's under valuing it a bit to say the least. Add another $600 and ur closer to the mark you woulda spent. (not saying u didnt spend that but just adding this so everyone doesn't jump to the conclusion it only costs $1400 to do a complete external oil pump setup)

Shane, are there different thickness N1 gears? I remember getting confused when I last looked at the Reimax ones

There are indeed my good friend. So what we'll have to do is the person after a set will have to specify what thickness gears they are after.

Cool, I'll try get my oil pump off this weekend and confirm thickness.

FWIW, here are some parts numbers that I came up with and pricing for an external oil pump kit. I only really needed to find someone to make a bracket for the pump itself, most of the parts are there minus the hosing and belt. Might be a couple of extra fittings required depending on where / how you wanted to mount it.

Some of the prices may have changed since I did it (about 4 months ago)

JWAuto are doing CNC brackets...their work is incredible...the same CNC machinist 888 Racing use. Top shelf stuff. They are doing the brackets in a kit only though...im doing a group buy on them as soon as they are ready. I saw one of their VL CNC'd rocker covers to suit single cam engines running roller rockers...porno! Ill see if i can get a pic.

    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
