hi guys i am about to do the 100,000 km service on my stagea and was wondering if all the RB motors use the same water pump. im pretty sure the RB26 is the only motor that is different.

i am sourcing all my parts through my uncles workshop but some of his part books are a bit old.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

you will need a NEO (R34 Gtt) water pump, different(and dearer) to standard rb25 rb26, part #21010-AA527.

is there anything in particular that makes the NEO engine water pump different to the others.

i imported my car from synergy a few years ago and while i was in there last week they said they use standard RB25 R33 water pumps as the only difference was a 10mm locator bolt hole was missing.

just trying to save some money if possible as RB30/25 water pump i can get for about $80.00

from what ive read, Nissan addressed some water flow issues with earlier pumps with higher flow at mid range rpm on the NEO pumps through their redesign. I suppose its like oil, whatever the budget can allow, but NISSAN wouldn't have redesigned it without a reason.

Given the work required to change it - you'd be silly not to do it at the 100,000km service time.

+1

Your belts are off and you've drained the coolant anyway to remove the radiator ... its just so easy to do the waterpump too at the same time.

I am doubtful tho about the Neo waterpump being different. Is there a link to some info confirming this?

NEO pump is different, its been covered a million and some more times

How is it different? Where is the source? I'm trying to find specs but they don't exist. Just spoke to Nissan and even they don't know how they are different.

What I have found is:

Part #21010-70TY5 ($110) - for R32 GTST

Part #21010-58S25 ($120) - for R32 GTR

Part #21010-21U26 ($175) - for R33 GTST/GTR, R34 GTR, and series 1 Stagea

Part #21010-AA527 ($260) - for R34 GTT, series 2 Stagea

Part #21010-24U27 ($380) - for N1 Skyline GTR

Note: they say "for" not "fit", so you could interchange.

More info sourced from guys who've done the comparison overseas with pics ...

One source claims the standard RB25DET pump appears shallow, whereas the Neo water pump is deeper, but there is no comment on the blade design/difference. No pics were available to back it up.

Below is an N1 water pump vs OEM RB25DET pump. Blades are obviously different:

The N1 flows less than OEM for a balanced high RPM setup.

The OEM flows more than N1 and is good for street and light track time.

Above is the N1 compared to an EOM Neo pump.

One source says the NEO pump looks like Nissan addressed the flow issue they were having at mid-high RPM (again, no pics/evidence to support this).

Below is a pic of an RB25/RB26 pump (non N1/non Neo)

:cool:

So ... best way to solve the argument is to get our hands on the 3 types of pumps (OEM RB25, OEM RB25 Neo, N1) and measure volume/capacity/depth, and blade specs and take pics.

So who's got some spare waterpumps lying around? :P

The only difference I know about is in the positioning of one of the mounting bolts. Some aftermarket pumps cater for this by having a slot there so it will fit all applications. Pumps are supposed to be good for 200.000 so if you are confident about the speedo reading and pump is OK you could leave it til the next belt but if you think speedo may be wound back then change the pump anyway.

If I'm not wrong, the N1 will fit most variants due to that oval shaped hole. As mentioned above, its the mounting bolts thats different. I'm not 100% sure though. Lesser blades on the N1 was for more flow? isnt it? If they're all spining at the same RPM, the one with lesser blades should flow more.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
