most important is to have a correct fitting screwdriver, if then doing as Simon has said, and you still cannot get them,

then do the same again except with vice grips around the shaft of the screw driver.

Thanks guys for all the tips, will give it another crack tonight.

Mafia - I did actually try freezing the whole thing, sounds like I got it around the wrong way! Will try the heat option.

:cheers:

need the correct sized screw driver, a way of holding the oil pump so it wont move. pref horizontally, then lean into it with your body weight and try and crack it.

avoid using an impack screw driver thats for sure

Why would you avoid using impact screwdriver I used to be a engine rebuilder and using a impact screwdriver is the only way using heat warps the housing which is a good idea

Had the same problem, use an impact screw driver....

Or what I did was vice the pump, got the correct size driver with a large ring spanner on the handle for leverage,

Then turned it while a mate pushed down and located the screw driver so it doesn't strip out

ive pulled plenty of oil pumps apart none of which have needed heat or an impact screwdriver. i'd say avoid an impact scredriver cause an oil pump is a fairly sensitive thing in a weakish housing.. some people are too heavy handed and too much potential to f**k it up

I pulled apart plent without needing an impact screw driver lol

purchase a screw driver with a hex style shank so that you can fit a spanner on the shaft.

place screwdriver end into screw, give the screw a couple of love taps to shock the thread,

Then use the spanner on your screwdriver to crack that bad boy

^^ yep, thats what worked for me, once u round off those heads on the screws then its in the bin it goes

You really need a degree in the bachelor of arts thumbsup.gif

If your having so much trouble undoing them with the correct size screw driver, it sounds like its been pulled apart and had the screws loctited previously. They really arn't that hard to remove at all.

As said before though, hex shanked screwdriver.

Sit it outside on a stinking hot day, use gloves to handle it and then do as above^^^^ the extra heat works. If its winter use an oven on low around 50'C and try it.

A bit of low heat will let you undo the impossible.

Well I finally got around to giving it another crack. Used my impact driver and they came out easily haha. Thanks for all the input :)

Also suprised to confirm that Neo's come with an N1 pump as standard.

And at least I know its not one of the Chinese copies!

yeah i mentioned that in another thread as i discovered it not long ago. N1 pumps stronger then people think too...

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
