I'm not totaly happy with my oil presure so I'm thinking an upgrade to the oil pump may be the go and after a bit of searching I have come across NITTO,and N1 and I'm thinking there may be more.

The NITTO was around $1200/1300 and the Skyline GTR NI $580 appart from the $ how big is the difference between these two.

Will the GTR N1 fit the 98 R34 GT-T and will there be a significant improvement over the OE GTT one in there now ?

I'm not modding this car, I only push it around a little bit occasionaly, I'm not $1300 bucks worth unhappy with the current pressure and it wont see the track while I've got it.

Having said all that summer is coming so soon would be the time to do this if I'm going to so any advice on this would be gratefully received.

Oh and while I think about it how hard / many hours in fitting to a 98 R34 GT-t.

I don't know how R34's work, but incorrect oil pressures (32's, 33's) are the result of a dirty pressure switch, I would first clean the switch (near the oil filter). As for fitting a new pump, its a engine out job. Others have reported the Nitto pumps are as good, if not better than the $2000 jap pumps.

If it's not going to the track, or be bouncing off the limiter, there are better ways to spend your money than getting track orientated pumps for a lazy daily driver.

I definately wouldn't worry about the oil pump. To replace it you will need to take motor out and pull it apart (it is possible on car but still heaps of labour, balancer off, timing belt off, drop subframe, sump off).

You can get a second hand rb25 for less than the cost of an oil pump....

:P Thanks guys didn't realise how much info was in the Epic fail thread thanks for that , oil pressure sender cleaning will be done.

Just a bit more I came across this:-

NISMO OIL FILTER

FEATURES:

  • 21% LESS PRESSURE LOSS
  • 24% INCREASE IN FILTRATION
  • 10% LESS FLOW RESISTANCE
  • 37% INCREASED LIFE

PRICE: $49.95 EACH

And just wondered if there's any mileage with these claims or is it just manufacturers rhetoric ? reason I asked I noticed an overall slight drop when I changed the oil and filter last time the filter that was in was a Jap no name which I think may have come in with the car.

I'm using 10x40 Nulon quick flow full syn and a Nissan OE filter.

All I can say is FARK THAT! I could be wrong, but with the 'shithouse' Ryco filters, I have no strange variations or delays in oil pressure (that said im going to start using Nissan ones for peace of mind)

IMO if you're going to spend $50 on the filter, add that amount to what you spend on oil and use Motul 300v or something.

I think it's all a load of crap, when theyre $8 each, just change it when you change your oil.. May as well use a genuine Nissan filter, theyre pretty much the same price maybe cheaper than the Ryco equiv.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
