I think justjap have them for $1300 or so (oil pump)

cranks from them are almost the same.

I've got a genuine JUN brand new oil pump for $1150 delivered, pm me

apparently im not allowed to send a PM so could you Pm me please haha..

im after that pump mate :P

i didnt read every letter of all the previous posts, however, I have a FJ20 engine in my ride which dont have the best oil pump in the world from factory in them either. When i built my engine i used a BDG external oil pump. Its a single stage belt driven unit with a mounting bracket off the side of the engine to mount it and a plate with a spline welded onto it bolted to the front of the harmonic balancer. We machined off the 3rd pulley from the balancer and bolted the plate there in its place. The pump was $960 and then once the internal pump was deleted, it was a matter of tapping a fitting into the block and making up a pickup in the sump the suit. Base pressure and peak pressure can be set very easily via an allen key adjuster and spring selection.

Maybe worth considering... just a thought.

Please ignore the control arm chop. It has been boxed in and strengthened since these pics.

Similar to mine on the RB25 and very effective. Good job.

They need clearance to allow for manufacturing tolerances where the centreline of the crank can be not quite concentric with the centreline of the pump gear, I made yours a little tighter Marko because I sat the pump on and checked where it was running before I made the collar. The clearance isn't a problem. The standard rb25/26 gears don't break and they run the same. SR20's, CA18's, Toyota 4AG's, Hondas and others run the same drive setup and rarely have problems. Nissan TB48 engines have a similar problem when they're pushed. I think it's just down to the material used. Powdered metal is used for a lot of parts that are hard to machine cheaply, almost all oil pump gears are made the same way. To mill an N1 outer gear you'd need to use a <2mm diameter cutter which just isn't workable for that type of job.

I don't know why Nissan made the N1 pump with a smaller diameter outer gear which makes everything a little thinner and easier to break. I just fitted a set of the JPC gears to an N1 housing and they are good, same side clearance as factory and about .001" more clearance between the gears. The engine is from a hillclimb/circuit car still running the hydraulic tappets so I didn't want to go for a bigger pump.

So the excessive clearance is to account for a wide variety of tolerances.. can the excessive clearance be reduced? if you were going to use a collar, would it be better to have one machined to suit your individual pump gears? and what would be the minimum clearance required for thermal expansion?

Sorry for all the Q's.. it's getting to crunch time with my engine and I need to find a clear path :)

Just something i've though about too, why cant there be some sort of silicon damping between the pump and crank... ie like a silicon 'shim' so to speak to take up the slack and also damp the harmonics ??? I guess the worry would be it failing in time and the slack comes back, but hell, if theres that much slack already ..... ?...

Reviving old post.

My N1 oil pump failed this morning. Engine 26/30 4500km still on run in tune, crank collar fitted & Ross balancer. never hit limiter, probably spun above 500rpm 6-10 times

Looking at putting a standard RB30 pump in.

was it a new pump?

Yes it was.

Am thinking of just fitting a standard RB30 pump and balancer, mine is a street car and will never see the track.

I have an RB25 using the standard water & oil pump and balancer with 430rwhp for almost 5 years without any issue and it see a decent amount of track time.

I had an N1 fail, don't know if it was the cause or part of the fail chain that went down. But now have a NITTO and have heard good things about them... Contact Croyden and get their advice on NITTO, they have an interesting story on how tuff they are.

They are a good price, flow well and have forged internals....

was the n1 pump the cause or the symtom of the failure?

anyway, I run a nitto pump now, it has survived 3 rebuilds with just a clean and re-assembly. It provides a little too much pressure per rev until the releif valve opens but that is better than less. If you fit one make sure you run oil restrictors to the head and turbos

Thanks guys, yet to pull the engine out to see what's left. Hoping it has screwed anything else, thinking i noticed it as it happened but i'll find out soon enough.

Yes was thinking nitto as well.

What are your thoughts on standard pumps? Is there any info on their failure rate compared to others. I do note that all N1 failures have aftermarket balancers and i'm not suggesting they are at fault, just interesting.

A very good friend of mine runs a 25/30 with VL oil pump and standard balancer- makes 500+hp. He gives that thing curry and limiter bounces it regularly with no issues.

That's a pretty good accolade Duncan! Is there potential to alter the spring so it relieves a little earlier to have it produce close to standard pump outputs?

Cheers

I'm sure any releif spring can be modified to open earlier or later. it has given me some problems with smokey bush bearing turbos, I'm sure ball bearing ones would already have an appropriate restrictor

how would the aftermarket balancer affect the pump? u would think it would help with the harmonics and not cause as many vibrations?

i would also think that with the rotation of the pump and excessive vibrations plus oil running through is what would kill it?

explain why the aftermarket balancer would affect it?

cheers

I would expect the exact opposite....why would a small aftermarket manufacturer be able to make something that manages complex harmonics better than Nissan's engineers?

Most factory balancers might be rubbish due to age, but at least you know they were designed and researched for that exact use.

I was just looking at page 7 and rezlo had pics up of his broken n1 pump. It's not hard to see why the are prone to failure, the outer gear wall thickness from the root of the tooth to the outer diameter is paper thin and the sharp radius at the base of each tooth is a definate stress piont. Has anyone considered it could be the outer gear failing causing it to jam and break the inner? Being sintered iron doesn't help matters either.

Interesting point isn't it?

I can't think of more than one Racepace car that has killed a N1 pump - all using the stock Nissan balancer and so on.

All circuit driven... Must be something in the water down here :)

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
