So I'm in the market for some new oil pump gears, I was going to get some JPC items but after discussions on the phone this morning, they are out of stock for another week or so.

I also queried the different sizes of gears and the guy said he wasn't aware of different sizes..

So I jumped on RHDJapan as I recalled seeing them specifiy two different OD's of gears and they only want AU$430 delivered for the Reimax gears while the JPC gears are AU$370+postage...

Which ones should I go for?

A week & 60 bucks is neither here nor there.

Which pump do you have - the Reimax ones are for the stock & N1 pumps - different sizes for different pumps.

By the sounds of it the local offering is for a stock pump?

Currently an RB30E pump but I have an N1 pump as well which is what I was going to put the gears in (neither JPC or Reimax do RB30 gears). The info on RHDJapan says there are two sizes of Reimax gears, both for the N1 pump but there is an early (bigger OD) and a later (smaller OD) version.

Yeah a week and $60 is neither here nor there, so that's why I'm torn with which way to go and I guess I am looking for peoples experiences with either.

Um, is there?

As far as I know (& I could be wrong) there are two different crank drives for the pump - the early R32 (Pre August 91 perhaps) being the least strong.

The OD of the N1 & stock pumps is different the stock somewhat perversely being larger than the N1.

I wasnt aware that the outside diameter of say a stock pump changed over the life of the RB26 but I could be wrong.

No, the OD of the N1 pumps, they state an early (81mm) and a later (77mm), the later being the same size as normal RB26 pumps.

Try here & go to the reimax oil bits.

They list different thicknesses & diameters. I am not at all sure the RHD Japan site is entirely correct in what they are saying.

Maybe this is the same as the all pumps are now N1 rumour?

The thicker ones are the Reimax Capacity Up gears that you have to send them your housing to have them fitted in to, RHDJapland list them separately: http://www.rhdjapan.com/reimax-reinforced-and-capacity-up-oil-pump-gear-kit-skyline-gt-r-rb26dett-59391

I guess this is why I'm leaning towards the Reimax gears over the JPC as the JPC guy said he wasn't aware of any size differences with the N1 pumps and that's why they moved to the N1 over the RB30E/T.

Isn't it the other way around? N1 pump 77mm gears with assymetric tooth profile, factory RB26 81mm gears with symmetric profile, almost duocentric?

No first hand experience with either of them, but why would oyu want smaller gears with thin metal? Isn't it better to just put 81mm reimax gears into a RB26 pump? It has a good 2mm extra metal for each gear, so IMO is less prone to breaking.

Are their really that many reports of billet gears breaking? Certainly much fewer than sintered gear N1 pumps.

      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!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
