So whats happening with these 2j style pumps? NITTO have you got any good news for us yet? Im very interested!

Have been looking at Tomei as an option, but i have heard of them breaking too as they have no room for movement. But the Tomei has external pressure adjust as a small bonus! Also considered the N1 pump with Billet gears, but still not 100% trusting of this setup, even with a collar, ross balancer & girdle brace/awd adaptor, im not sure its worth the money saved?

So hopefully these 2j pumps will be available soon, as i will need to finalise this pump descision soon, so i can finish building my rb30!

I also have the tomei sump baffle setup on the standard gtr sump, spool head oil drain & i think a 1.5mm restrictor & a HKS thermostated oil cooler, but was wondering if the expense of an extended sump (~$1300) is really nessesary or is it just a luxury? (*predomanently a street car, but will see a few circuit & club events each year! **also will be using motul 300v comp. oil)

Not happening any time soon last I heard

External pump/wet sump setup is another option...and not all that much more expensive then a Nitto/Tomei/Jun etc pump + Collar

Also keen to hear from Nitto.

If you do go with a Tomei pump, 1.5mm is too big. 1.1 is more like it, and I have "heard" that racepace even use a 0.9mm! Im adding a 1.1mm restrictor to my setup after filling the catch can at Winton.

Don't run your mains larger than 3 thou clearence and you won't have a problem with the Tomei pump. Larger than 2.2 clearance will kill an N1 pump.

Don't run a big pump without a big sump as well, and especially not if you intend on seeing more than 30 seconds of track time. Protect your investment and add a few more litres of oil. Oil is life!

how would you drive it? Would i lose my A/C? or my balancer? I prefer the idea of the 2j style pump & nitto said they were testing and shouldnt be far off??!?!!

Aahhh well there you go...wasn't aware Nitto were still copying other peoples ideas :nyaanyaa:

Splined pump is the best option.

But even the JZ guys have oil pump issues if the clearances are out

I came accross this a couple of weeks ago, thought that you guys might be interested in the read. Goes into great detail about pumps, clearances/tolerances and failures.

sorry for reviving an old post but im in the same situation now as u where in, and i just wanted to know what choice you went with and if it was the N1 with gears and restrictor as thats what im looking at doing + sump and cam Baffles.

ok- So ive read through this.....

No mention on the Oil pump i have- HKS.

i understand the whole bigger pump mean picking up more oil therefore leaving less in the sump

Alot of this seem to be mentioned with track cars and 7k rmp +

I have a stock baffled sump, and supposedly Tomei oil gallery orifice, im just not to sure if this will casue any issues? and i would be better of with a stock pump- Keeping in mind this is street driven so wont be seeing the load that the avg track car gets.

I think the Tomei restrictors are 1.5mm

You should be fine. These problems generally only arise on the track because you don't spend a lot of time at high revs (6000+) on the road.

Sorry if everyone knows this but I don't look at Gtr.co.uk much and saw that the splined gears are now available to suit the stock, n1', jun and tomei oil pumps. Has anyone on sau gone to the effort to use one yet?

http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/270049-spline-drive-oil-pump-gears.html

Not so much has anyone gone to the effort ... more has anyone been prepared to risk their engine with new technology! They look good, have been tested at high rpm (11,000) and power (1000hp) the only element missing is longevity - if I were in the market for one (to be honest I'm not) I would like to see a few engines that have done 10,000km or more on one. Plus 450 pounds sterling is a lot of dollars!

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
