so the box is all done and running schmick!

only prob now is my water pump has decided to start leaking!

so now we gotta pull that apart and change it.. but while I'm at it im going to change the timing belt and flush the cooling system aswell!

can any one recommend a good water pump and timing belt??

the oil, oil filter, plugs, coilpacks and gearbox related oils have already been done so I cant really think of anything else I should do while the front is apart

i think you'll find that the N1 pumps are ok for street duties, just the temps will be a bit higher than OEM ones - but they don't like idling/real low speed stuff though IMO - probably best to go OEM unless it lives at the track

It's a road car right? It doesnt flow as well as the standard one at 'normal' RPM. Bigger aint always better!

Are they geared differently or not? Different size outlet? What has changed? Why is it better? Why is it worse?

Might explain why it is better for street or track if someone has the figures.

Car sits comfortably in peak hour traffic in Sydney at 79-81 degrees in all weather conditions

I also have an upgraded radiator if that makes a difference

Genuine Nissan pump/timing belt/idler and tensioner

Agree, can't go wrong

Also an N1 water pump has different sized blades and less/more of them.. Can't remember which one

I'm sure google will tell you the story if u look

the impeller inside is designed for reduced cavitation at high rpm, which results in lower flow at low rpm

gen stock has 8 small fins/blades where the N1 has 6 bigger fins/blades with a plate closing the back to help stop cavitation,having both in hand I can't see how the stock one flows more.

I wonder how many people with an issue have put on a big thick radiator, which is not a good idea on any skyline, or a non genuine pump

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
