Hey all, done a lot of research about which oil pump to use, then found this:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NISSAN-RB-SERIES-HI...=item20b3e94e13

Anyone seen/heard of/used one of these??? If so, good or complete sh!t???

Looks very similar to a G-reddy/nismo style pump.

Obviously would love to get a Tomei, but cannot afford one.

Any info on these good or bad would be very helpful.

Thanks, Dave.

i was about to ask a similar question as i just found this one. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT

possibly a cheap batch from overseas or something local that would be worthwhile? otherwise i'm considering some billet gears for $370

Hmm, Nismo, Jun, Nitto etc all use the shark-fin outer. This pump looks very similar to Nitto and G-reddy pumps, as they have a similar 8-bolt backing plate flange.

Nitto Pump:

Key I guess is the width of the gears (std 11mm) and material.

Is there noone that has used these pumps before?

log in - yea I saw that one too, looks like the same pump - they look ok, but I guess that means f*ck all. Where can you get billet gears for $370?

just had a look and the company is no longer around but JPC sells them for $350

^^ lol why would anyone touch it with their dick?

so you could f*ck it before it has the chance to f*ck your engine.

why would anyone ever take a risk with such a critical engine component. It will end up bad money chasing bad money.

wow ebay can sell some pritty crapy stuff, but if its cheap enough than why not have a go..... when your talking about somthing like a deck chair or a cheap socket set..... but somthing like a Oil pump for a freshly built motor..... Dude just buy a nitto.......

If in fact it is a proper billet oil pump the same as a JUN/Tomei/Nitto then awesome.

Because it would be about Fu(king time good pumps were sold for a realistic price.

Whats interesting is the cost of a 2JZGTE genuine pump and their actual spec. Plus their reliability is second to none. How much? $300 delivered from USA.

Yea, it's quite funny, all of you have just replied exactly what I have gone over in my head - why take a risk like that with an untested product? But then, if it is modeled off a Nitto pump, and has the same quality gears, at a price like that, then how can you go wrong?

Tough decision, I have asked all who are selling them on e-bay to elaborate on the gear size/material so will see what they have to say.

I have pretty much made up my mind on the billet gears for my N1 pump though - roughly the same price for known quality results.

But as N1GTR said, there is no reason we should be able to get a quality pump at a reasonable price.

if you think these big companies make the stuff in house then your off with the fairies, there is quite a possibility it is straight out the back door of the same factory the others are from. I buy cranks from a company that supplies a few majors @ 1/4 the price.. there are other options you just need to validate its source.

if some-one buys it in vic im happy to compare the gearset to a genuine GREDDY item, it would be worth getting the gearset tested.

^^ Agreed..and after comparing all pictures of the genuine 'nitto ' casting and these ones...front and back looks identical everywhere and the only difference i

can see is the rear plate is dull compared to the genuine nitto & phillips head screws used instead of hex.

In fact im going to buy one and get the gears tested for material & hardness.

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
