Yeah you can. I had a heap of these made a while back. They are very expensive to have made but for the cost of a new N1 pump, you get unbreakable gears.

It's not something that's i'd do all over again but I put one in every new engine I build. Finding wire cutters and gear profilers is frickin time consuming!!!

^ correction - Most gears that is due to rev limiter abuse by the owner, which is a sure fire way to kill gears and ANY pump can be broken like that - even the Tomei.

Doesnt matter what crank you have in that scenario :P

I have to agree with R31Nismoid... But any limiter abuse can lead to that and many more problemes on any car. That can be taken out of the equation with some reasonable driving/shifting. From my experience and knowledge a nice N1 is good enough ! Just make sure you address the crank collar probleme if its a early model engine. As for billet gears , I know Nitto makes a oil pump for the RB but I have no idea on the performance/quality of this product.

just my 2 cents :P

I really think it is down to the poor tolerance between the drive and the gears, then when you start applying on/off torque such as bouncing the limiter or heaps of pedalling, they break.

Good tolerance, good balancing and a decent harmonic balancer. (And some gears that aren't made of a sintered material).

I thought so too until I supplied 2 (two) N1 pumps to customers (from Nissan), both cars fitted with crank collars and both cracked the gear. One in less than 5000 kms, and the other in about 12,000kms.

Neither car saw over 7000rpm and had aftermarket harmonic balancers. That was good enough for me to lose faith in them completely

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
