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.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • 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!
