Don't understand why people won't spend an extra $500-$700 on a better pump rather than play oil pump roulette... I will build mine to last the hard time I want to give it not baby it because I am too much of a tight ass.

ive smashed an n1 pump - now using nitto!

n1 is like that movie fatal attraction

No pump is safe from being destroyed if you limiter bash. Even Tomei's can be killed.

spending more is not necessarily 100% fail proof due to the pump design!

Did not say it was 100% fail proof, but given the choice I do not see why anyone would go with an N1 considering their record. I would spend more (on a Nitto, Tomei, etc) to know that is was a 100% improvement over an N1.

And if you want to (or be safe from accidental) limiter bashing then go an external for slightly more coin.

fuel cut explains the massive flames that gtr's shoot out on the limiter - most gtr's u will see in japan run this way. so my guess is that fuel cut is acceptable but not sure if its better or worse than ignition cut?

errr....might want to re-read what you just wrote Marko.

No fuel = no flames

Its been mentioned before so many times. But the clearance on the drive and pump is a problem in my opinion.

If you take a N1 pump gear and slide it over a R34 crank ir jun collar, there is .006" clearance each side. .012 total! It rattles like crazy when limiter is being hit. As mentioned just above. when limiter is reached the crank has to slow down before fuel is added to complete the combustion cycle. A loose crank/collar to pump is just smashing in there when its on the limiter. Every N1 pump or most pumps that have failed, crack right at the flat corner and then the rest is history.

Now i know im not the only person that figured this out. I have made new collars with .001" clearance each flat for a total of .002". Slips right on no problem but it doesnt have that loose fit like all the nissan cranks and Jun collars out there. i've gone through about 20 of them now with N1 pumps selling them to friends and stuff and not one problem yet.

Just look at this picture. Every crank you pull out looks like this. Its just retarded! the drive only has 3/16" contact. Crazy!

Ive seen almost every brand of pump brake. Looked at all the pictures people post up after and I always see the crank look like that.

Collar I made up. Just gotta flont the piece, lol. Im not saying there isn't a design flaw, but there is this one issue that is easily taken care of.

Would spark cut be easier on an oil pump than fuel cut?

same shit for an oil pump, engine is still stopping and starting in the same way. the only difference would be between different ecu's, for example, a stocker rb30e ecu cuts fuel to all cylinders when you hit 6200 and then cuts back in at around ~5800. a power fc randomly cuts cylinders to hold the motor at the set rev limit.

No doubt it's a shit design...

Good on you for trying to overcome the issue!

My beef has always been the fact that there is only 2 surfaces driving the pump, why not have more so there is less stress on the surfaces?!?

It's a real pity the guy who was trying to make the splined gears got ripped off by his machinist :/

That may be my next step. Your totally right on tho!

What happened to the guy that was designing the splined gears? Machine work in Canada is relatively cheap. I got a few guys I use and its very reasonable. I'd like to see what this other guy ended up with as a design. Did he make new gears completely or just the inner gear and drive for the crank?

I think there has to be a cheap solution for everyone. Or we could all go dry and call it a day. none of this inbetween stuff ($1500 for same design pump)

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
