There is also another issue that is well overlooked that myself and a friend are currently working out.

The issue is most of these after market crank collars have too much tolerance between the collar and the inner gear drive surface. Its believed this is causing the inner gear to violently move around inside the housing and crack itself and or the outer gear.

This is a known issue which is found here;

There was a guy making collars that had a better tolerance but he no longer does them.

It seems like you almost need a custom collar to suit which type of gears you have.

My friend had bought a brand new N1 pump and the pump actually failed on idle. Now we believe the pump had actually cracked while at higher RPM but it just let go when the engine was at idle.

The second pump he put in was an RB25DET pump with billet gears. The tolerance was so loose that the pump gears that were moving around all over the place actually cracked the pump housing and caused oil to leak externally. He thought it was the front main seal. But close inspection revealed a cracked housing.

^^ and that is why I had my machinist weld up the snout of the crank and machine it back to suit my gears ;)

Some people don't like it but if done properly it's fine, works for us in a few engines and one is making 580awhp and gets regularly abused with 8500rpm limiter launches (different oil pump to me though).

Oh and NEW balancers!

With that link, those clearances were only checked while cold. The metal will have expanded at operating temperature, so heating up the metal to operating temp and then checking the clearances would make it more clear.

Yes of course this needs to be taken into consideration.

Its hard to work out exactly how much tolerance you need on them when cold.

Hi everyone, sorry for revisiting this old thread but it is the only one that had activity on it when I did a search for the Oil Pump Part Number I need.

My Oil Pump has failed and according to Nissan it is 150105L800 for a 1997 RB25DET.

So it seems that the N1 Pump is interchangeable with this part Number and it is better because it has hardened gears inside the pump and is less likely to fail.

Think the N1 updated part number is 1501024U01 (according to the Net) but I have no idea if this will fit the same way.

Any ideas... ?

From what I understand it needs a Crankshaft Collar to work properly as there appears to be excessive clearance but if the collar is too large it could cause the pump to crack.

So for a daily driver, pretty much standard, do you guys think it might be safer to go to the standard item?

It makes similar pressure and flow I am presuming and I don't need to worry about Thermal Expansion of a Crankshaft Collar ?

Cheers

Stephen

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
