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.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
