For a normal 550-550whp RB26 twin turbo ( so no point to overrev to 9-10k) What would be the best bang for the buck for a early 90 wo are prone to have oil pump problem ?

I was thinking:

N1 oil pump but I would need to set my rev limiter to 8k...

Standard oil pump with upgraded reimax gears.

No point revving the RB26 past peak power @ 6800rpm.

I currenctly have my rev limiter set at 7.4k. I'm just wondering if a N1 pump can take abuse up to 8k SAFELY ? or at 8k this pump is at his max capacity? Like anything.. I prefer to have some ''play'' aka slightly overkill.

N1 is 250 shipped

and I can get a N1 with rebuilted reimax gear for 600 shipped..

Just wondering if I really need to pay 350$ more for a 500-550whp limited at 7.4-8k ?

Sounds like you have a stock bottom end, given you have the older oil drive etc.

Which then would worry me why you'd try to run 370-400rwkw through that bottom end.

Regardless of the oil pump, trying to push that much is going to end in tears regardless of what you do with the pump

Nevermind this issue. One thing at a time. I will be rebuilding my RB26. right now, I'm thinking about the oil pump.

So why are you buying bigger oil pumps on a small collar now then? IMO thats a more important issue any anything else.

Why not just do the smart thing and peg the power back a bit until you rebuild?

Having the small snout - as i said earlier - makes you more likely to bust stuff regardless of the pump you decide to use.

you could spent upwards of $1700 on a Tomei pump, for nothing!

And it's the reason Nissan clearly changed the design within a matter of years!

So your saying I should only change my crank instead of changing my oil pump ?

I'm saying changing the oil pump is not going to magically save your stock motor @ those power levels and you will still potentially have a failure due to the smaller drive.

Especially trying to pump 400rwkw through it.

If it was 300rwkw, no problem. Most R32 GTR motor owners know they are on borrowed time even @ that power level (for one or another reason).

I wouldn't buy a $$$ pump now, just run the motor till it dies and then follow your rebuild plan.

I understand your point. I was wondering because I saw on a local forum someone selling his N1 pump with reimax gear for 600$ ( and it might be cheaper since i might buy other stuff from him). Considering a reimax kit is worth like 700$+ the pump. I think it's a good deal. It doesn't mean I will be fitting the pump right now. I will when the rebuilt times will come. ( might be next winter, I'm slowly purchasing everything I need).

thanks for your advice.

ur best off just waiting alittle longer and buy new. if i was spending the money to build an engine (which i already have) i wouldnt wana do it half ass and put in second hand parts.

sure it might take a little longer to save and buy but at least u will have piece of mind that your parts wont fail.

do it right the 1st time round

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
