R32 Gtr Water Pump

[bogeye]

Hey guys, ive got this r32 gtr. the water pump has a massive hole in it which im gunna have to get replaced. probably get an n1 upgrade but while im at it what else should i get done while the mechanic has most of the front off to do this? any suggestions would be great, he suggested timing belt and bearings i think that go with it. I dont no the location of the oil pump would that be easy to change too or it that a completely seperate job?

no the oil pump requires the sump to come off which is a whole different game - also it should last as long as the motor.

but the timing belt has to come off to change the water pump so you may as well do it. Also the bearings, and the stud and bolt that hold them in.

It's also a good opportunity to put adjustable cam gears on if you have been considering them

The bolts are dirt cheap new from Nissan. Its a very good time to do them as ive heard that if one breaks its bye bye head!
