Dude you don't have to break the pump to spin a bearing. They have oil control issues from factory which causes bearings to spin. Plus its an old engine with god knows how many km. Factory didn't do too well in that area.

Im pretty sure a RB26 lasting 20 years

with god knows how much abuse it has received and the unknown km it has traveled, including all the launches it must have done, and red line pulls,

Is pretty damn good.

I know mate, that's why I said it depends which one he has. Do you think it's worth the trouble to change the oil pump on its own? All that work! If it's the late model one just leave it, even if it's the early model pump Its not worth all the work and trouble unless doing other things too.

I completely agree. No point changing oil pump until the engine is on its last legs. unless you're cashed up.

I was only emphasising "Factory didnt do well"

Lol sorry man I didn't express myself correctly, I know what you mean. I wasn't trying to say they were shit like I came across. I agree with you!

Regardless of your future plans for the car and If it is dead stock try these two and see how you get on.

Do a hot oil filter change.

Do an air filter element change.

Reckon then your first items would be a filter relocation kit and pods.

Lol, Have done it twice now, all you need is skill

IMO changing the oil pump is not justified cost/benefit wise, since, as stated, its an engine out job. Just don't hit the limiter and replace the harmonic balancer if its stuffed. I'd be more inclined to change the turbos, but then again, my oil pump hasn't failed and my turbos have...

Other than that just the normal stuff, so fluids, cam belt (and the associated idler and tensioner) if its anywhere near due (or if you dont know).

Those of us who drive completely stock 32 GTR's (not 33 or 34) would know the hydraulic HICAS valve bank makes changing the oil filter a mission. Filter can't be seen from above or below.

It also requires an AFM and boost pipework to be removed just to check an air filter.

I'll always put ease of maintenance ahead of modifications.

Obviously the FIRST thing any new owner should do is get the workshop manual and start reading.

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
