As stated, if the motor is out of the car, you'd be mad not to give the engine the once over.

That said, cluster guage oil pressure is horribly inaccurate and at times does not even work at all for me. If the motor was/is running I'd be checking the oil pressure with a 3rd party oil pressure guage to get a tangible result/baseline.

The block is still in the car, block will be coming out and it will be getting checked over and if it is a n1 pump I will be putting on a drive collar that's if nothing is too stuffed in the motor already

Sure... its definately advisable to have the crank collar fitted. However, depending on the intended use of the car, I do not think it is essential.

There are plenty of cars out there getting around with the smaller oil pump drive area with no problems come 150 XXX kms...

I for one would not be pulling the motor down just to install the collar...

Ironically although I now sell crank collars I don't have one in my RB30 and I do have an N1 pump (10,000km so far). I am not planning to pull the motor out until I can afford a rebore with forged pistons full balance etc and then I will do the crank collar and assuming the pump is still in one piece (I don't limiter bash) I will put some aftermarket gears in it.

Yeah sweet as man seems heaps that are putting the n1 pump on do put the drive collar on, but I'm still not 100% sure if its a n1 pump or just a standard replacement pump, either way there is no drive collar on the crank so just gotta wait to pull the oil pump off and inspect on what went wrong hopefully everything is ok,

The car was been build for 400hp old owner never got a tune done and was running 11psi and use to give it a hard time, he even had it running 21psi he says...

Yeah engine builder told him from the start get a tune but he didn't.... But only 200ks on fresh rebuild with new parts and it already screwed out the oil pump? Could this happen only on 2000ks from rebuild, I can't wait to see what I find in there

Has the oil restrictors in the block been changed i have a forges engine with nitto pump and had to replace 2 of the oil retrictors for smaller size

as the larger pump sends excessive oil to the head leaving the bottom end in short supply not a good thing to do on the limiter i think you may have more problems than just the oil pump.....

Do it once and do it right, pull the thing down and see what failed.

Next step is crucial DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE.

I can not stress how important this is, I see so many engines being built then die shortly after from the same thing due to no one fixing the original problem that caused the first failure.

Then get someone who knows RB engine to fix the problem and build you a strong engine.

Then happy days.

This would have initiated an automated SMS to Ash,

Let the battle begin :whistling:

:laugh:

More than enough info around about N1 pumps for people to decide themselves. It generally is not the actual pumps fault.

Driver/treatment, collar installation/overall balancing & tuning - all have a bearing on if they will last or not.

Found out some more info from old owner, when he was doing a burnout on limiter it just started to bog down and got hot,

He has also status that on idle the revs would drop down to where she would almost stall and that use to make the oil light flicker on fately... Believe the gauge was still working... Anyways it's at the cop and they are gonna start pulling it apart in 2weeks time to find the real problem

Sorry guys, havnt pulled the pump off just spoke to the engine builder and he told me that it's a n1 pump and he didn't put a drive collar on as the one of the crank was fine and when it trail it on it was gripping enough on the gear and crank,

When we finally get the pump off ill let yous know, he is just busy

So pulled the pump off, it has like a mark taken out of it on both sides with it has a high spot hard to explain,

Pulled sump of.... Metal everywhere, 5 oil squiters on the block have snap off, bearings are f**ked, #6 and 4 got really hot, crack is scored

    • Hi everyone, I'm about to complete my first single turbo conversion on my R32 GTR and I thought I would post the step by steps that I will be following. I will list the parts I have / the parts I will be buying. I will be redoing this guide after I have completed the conversion. Parts list: - 3576 turbo 0.82 v-band (coolant and oil)  - v-band top mount turbo manifold - 50mm wastegate - manifold copper gasket - titanium manifold stud kit - turbosmart 3 port boost solenoid - link can lambda kit (wideband) - link ECU - radium 12AN push in valve cover fittings (pair) - hi octane catch can - 3.5inch downpipe - screamer pipe - pipe from turbo to intercooler - intake pipe setup - power steering relocation kit - oil drain block off plate - coolant and oil lines Now onto the step by step guide (please add / correct me if there's anything I missed: 1. remove fluids, twin turbo pipes, pod filters and afm's 2. remove the factory coolant hardlines from the hot side. 3. remove heat shields  4. remove the downpipe 5. remove turbos and manifolds 6. remove factory manifold studs 7. clean whatever mess you have made 8. install power steering relocation kit 9. install new manifold studs 10. install new turbo manifold with gasket 11. install new wastegate with screamer pipe 12. install new turbo  13. install new coolant and oil lines  14. install rear oil drain block off plate 15. stop and appreciate that you now have a single turbo in your GTR 16. wipe away tears of joy and install downpipe 17. install the wideband sensor into downpipe 18.install pipe to connect turbo to intercooler 19 .remove stock boost solenoid  20. install new boost solenoid 21.  install intake setup 22. setup the rest of the can lambda kit with the ecu  23. refill fluids and hope for the best 24. ask forums for help with issues 25. fix issues 26. drive your single turbo swapped r32 GTR into the sunset. Doneeeeeeeeeee. Now I know this isn't detailed at all but I will be doing that when the conversion is done. I will be posting pics and any helpful details i can and ill make sure to fit in as much information as I can. If there's anything I should know before i do this PLEASE let me know. Stay tuned for what's next. Thanks...
    • I have wasted too much time on this, more than I am willing to admit. I hope someone can set the record straight for me.  I want to replace my Nismo (non GT pro, non GT) standard 2 way in my R33 GTST with a 1.5 way... Ideally I want to get an ATS 1.5 way Carbon LSD, but I don't want to reuse my 29 spline 5x1 axle stubs, and new 30 spline 5x1's are impossible to get a hold of ($$$), and I don't want to drop the cash on going to 6x1 stubs and axles ATM. Which leads me to the Nismo GT Pro 38420-RSS15-B5 or RSS20, as they come with new axle stubs meant for the diff, and is "Convertible" from a 2 way or 1.5 way to "Other ways", but that is where I am stuck as the documentation is a bit all over the place.  To sum up what I have found I believe the all the Nismo GT Pro PN's are convertible from 2 way, 1.5 way, and 1 way; but Nismo sells 2 skus (2 & 1.5) so people do not have to disassemble to convert it.  I found this thread on 350z but it left the question unanswered. https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-drivetrain/620032-nismo-gt-pro-lsd-1-5-vs-2-way-and-torque.html  Essentially the way I think it all works out is like follows...  2 way  1 way  and 1.5 way would be the center pinion shaft in the 1 way block, but with the with the center flipped 180*. So the ramped side of the pinion would face the 1 way gate and act like a ramp.    I can only get my hands on the 2 way in the states, and I am not trying to get stuffed on tariffs by ordering from Japan or anywhere else. I want to confirm that if I get the 2 way I can convert it to the 1.5.     
    • Hi everyone, I have purchased my first GTR and I want to do a single turbo conversion to it. I've been doing as much research as i can and there are a few things that I can find and need to know. I need to run a coolant feed, coolant return, oil feed and oil return for my turbo setup. Here's what I know so far: On the hot side of the rb26 there is coolant feed, oil feed and oil return. Coolant return will be going around the front of the engine to where the thermostat is located. I will need to block off the rear oil return port. I will be running a turbosmart boost solenoid so any of the factory boost stuff wont be needed. Now onto what I don't know: 1. What do I do with the coolant / vacuum hardlines that run around the back of the motor?. 2. What do I block off or loop or move or remove?. I will be running the OEM intake manifold. 3. Is there anything in particular I need to buy for the cold side of the rb26?. I already have the intercooler and pipes sorted. If you have any pictures or information it would be appreciated. Thanks....  
    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping.
