hi all im new to sau hopefully this is in the right section,

ill get straight to the point,

i bought a r33 which has been fully rebuilt 2000ks ago forged internals, plenum, high mount manifold, hybrid or garrett turbo cant remember what it is, apexi fc, hybrid fmic, coilovers, fuel reg, 044 pump, been told by the owner it had a GTR oil pump fitted when rebuilt, now i bought the car without hearing it as the owner pulled the head off, yes i know stupid thing to do but i got this r33 cheap... cheaper then buying a 6boost plenum and high mount manifold...

now the old owner said reason why he pulled the head off is because he started to low oil pressure (cluster gauge) took it to the engine builder not sure if he checked it over but anyways told the owner the cluster gauges always stuff out common problem anyways, the old owner said that the car lost all power like it wasnt making boost...

now nothing has been said about a drive collar been put on the crank for the GTR oil pump do you believe the pump has shit its self and thats why it had no oil pressure and now stuffed the motor?

i have spoken to the engine builder and he hasnt said boo about a drive collar fitted...

old owner story always changed he was also on rev limiter when it f**ked out... my guess is oil pump shit it self

i will be pulling the motor apart to inspect just thought ill throw this up

Why a GTR pump fitted to a to a RB25 crankshaft, sounds pretty stupid.

They are the same factory pump anyway.

I'm guessing he means N1

A quick search is all that's required to know to stay the hell away from those pieces of shit.

Thanks guys, so hopefully it has a "GTR" oil pump in it like the engine builder says it does therefore likely hood of it f**king out like the N1 is pretty slim, engine builder said the gtr pump cost $1000 so I'm not sure if it a n1 oil pump guess I gotta wait to pull it apart fingers crossed bottom end is fine

Anyways I do believe its a n1 oil pump as he said it was a upgrade from a standard pump and seeing as n1 pumps are high flow... So guess the crank doesn't have a collar and now has scored the bearings and crank

Thank you, so my tale on this engine is that, oil pump has fail due to engine builder not doing what is required with fitting a n1 pump which has now (guessing) f**ked the bottom end

You wont really know for sure until you rip it apart, which I recommend is the next thing you do.

If you pull it all apart you might find some simple issues and can salvage the remainder of the built motor.

If you make an assumption that the problem is X Y or Z and try to fix that you could just be in for more headaches and lose the rest of the goodies the motor has to offer.

Thanks for your advise, I am deff stripping the motor down to find out what went wrong, head is already off just gotta strip the block now

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
