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...

Edited by R32Abuser

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

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
