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.

      Returning after a long time!

      By Shizu · Posted

      I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
