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

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
