well....why did the pump you see die? I am yet to be convinced there is some basic issue with n1 oil pumps.

they get used in lots (most?) builds?

those motors get treated very hard (otherwise why did the owner spend 5-15K to build it?)

anything goes wrong in the bottom end...first place a bit goes to is the tight clearance oil pump. put any shit through it and it breaks.

once the pump breakes due to the other problem the whole motor dies very soon after.

first thing you find when you pull a motor apart is a broken oil pump.

bottom line is....finding the *real* reason a motor dies is very very complex. oil pumps do not often die on their own but they are very often the first symptom of the real problem

It's usually always the same story......

No aftermarket harmonic balancer and/or rev limiter pump shock. This pump died from both at launch......broken inner gear.

as long as you dont smash the limiter you will be fine

heres one with gears broken

http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/104505-n1-oil-pump-tomei.html

have a look around on the site you'll find more, and race pace had a couple break gears due to limiter bashing

i only got the tomei one cause im paranoid and a dry sump setup for me is over kill

just read that thread in the uk, it had only done 625km and looks like it had other issues that caused the failure.

been limiter bashing(7500) mine for three years now, hope it holds out for another three.

that....or you could give them a call and ask? 02 9648 4264

JD74 - as per duncans post & my original suggestion a lot earlier in the piece...pick up the phone & call the above number.

reason not many people know about this pump is because it is tried & proven, simple as that.

who cares if it was even made in india or vietnam at the end of the day, it is a great pump :)

if it can chew through bits of cast block that should compel you right?

My N1 pump has eaten something (scoring on the gears, probably left over thrust washer ;)) and not broken. Not happy with the wear on the drive face though. Personally I think it's a clearance issue as to why they break, aswell as others. If you look through that linked thread you'll find that the guy that broke the Jun pump was also using a beat up stock balancer.. poor drive clearances and shitty balancer = broken pump? seems like we're going over the same ground again..

JD74 - why dont you do the smart thing?

ring/email CRD and fken ask rather than harp on like a child?

Well, because up untill now NO ONE seemed to even know where they came from......even after I asked a few times.

Harp on like a child ? gimme a break.

I saw user CRD reading this thread and STILL not jumping in. What gives ?

Is CRD really NITTO ? Are NITTO parts really 'Jun Jobber Parts' that are resold under the NITTO brand ? .....sure looks that way to me.

HHmm....people are 'sourcing pumps through CRD'.....

I still can't get a straight answer and what's even more funny, the people that purchased these pumps don't even know for sure.

People are quick to jump to their...ehem...'THEIR' defence, when in reality......noone even knows who THEY are.

Thanks for the info......and thanks for calling me a child.

And the Google comment ? IT'S THE 21ST CENTURY. IF YOU CAN NOT BE FOUND ON GOOGLE, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG.

I'm done.

Hey mate I feel your pain! Sometimes it can be like getting blood out of a stone...

FWIW

According to Godzilla Motorsport Nitto (Nitto Performance Engineering) is Croydon Racing Developments (CRD) own brand

found that with GOOGLE :D

Thanks man....... Your Google-Fu is stronger than mine ;)

I'm buying a Reimax anyways.....because it takes more than an upgraded Gear and a Jun Pump Housing to get my money.

  • 2 weeks later...

Ive just spent a few hours reading every bit of this post and it was extremly informative

Problem was I was chasing info and opinions on the Reimax complete oil pump (not just the gears) and as soon as someone mentioned it ....... no more posts, what a crack up, I pissed myself laughing

Anyway what do people think? http://www.reimax.co.jp/pages/products/lower-area/index.html

The company certinly has the credentials

i see your Reimax and raise you a newly released Nitto pump with billet rear cover for added strength.

billet rear cover u say paul, so a full billet housing must be pretty good then huh? :)

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • 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.
