Hey there,

I have a r32 GTR and was wondering what the oil pressure guage on the dash should read? It seems to fluctuate from near 4 on cold start, to almost zero when freeway cruising. It doesn't seem right to me. I have searched but was chasing some more recent info - especially on places to get it done.

I have looked at aftermarket oil pumps - n1 around $250 - $300, JUN, NISMO - $1300. I don't want to get big power out of the motor so would a n1 be enough? I don't fancy spending a grand if theres no need for it.

My last question would be, has anyone recently (as mechanics leave etc..) had an oil pump changed, as i've heard the front diff needs to come out. Any places you'd recommend?

Cheers,

Any help is appreciated.

Probably is the pressure sender, I've never heard of an oil pump to let you know it's about to fail. They just break

I used a N1 oil pump with remax gear set and I'm hauling close to 400 awkw. The gear set is around $450 delivered plus

N1 pump, it should all cost around $550,

you will need to put a restrictor in the head though, and it's motor out job

Good luck

If you're not going for power, a standard OEM pump would be better than the standard N1 due to the N1s having weak gears - however if you get the remax/reinik/nitto gears to replace it (as suggested above) then you'll be fine - they are extremely strong gears. One thing that is worth checking is where the crank meets the oil pump - if you have an early r32 you'll want to buy a crank collar to prevent drive failure as the early cranks have that area machined too small (its cheap and worth doing if you already have the oil pump off).

Personally, I'd go the route suggested above, get the N1 housing (higher pressure relief valve to OEM) and put the stronger aftermarket gears in it. It all comes down to how much you're prepared to spend.

If there is nothing wrong with the pump pressure just leave the thing alone.

Its not a matter of modification, its the default on some pumps -

Below is stolen from http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/227714-rb26-crank-in-rb25/

An early R32GTR "stock" oil pump? The N1 pump has the wide drive flange, the early R32GTR oil pump doesn't, they have the narrow drive flange. The N1 oil pump also has a different rotor configuration and the higher oil pressure relief valve.

A late R32GTR "stock" oil pump? They both have the wide drive flange,but the N1 oil pump also has a different rotor configuration and the higher pressure relief valve

An R33GTR "stock" oil pump? They both have the wide drive flange, but the N1 oil pump also has a different rotor configuration and the higher pressure relief valve

An R33GTR V SPec "stock" oil pump? They both have the wide drive flange and the same rotor configuration, but the N1 oil pump has the higher pressure relief valve

An R34GTR "stock" oil pump? They both have the wide drive flange, the same rotor configuration and the higher pressure relief valve

Hope that helps

tbh, i wouldnt be trusting the stock cluster gauge, they're fairly inaccurate

get a good aftermarket oil pressure gauge and see what it reads then

      Took a little trip  went to nismo hoping the get my fuel tank hoses and unfortunately they told me they didn’t have stock luckily I was able to go to a Nissan parts store and they were able to order them in for me  then can home and cleaned the tank with some degreaser and fitted the new hoses before putting it back in the car

      100% I’ll hack into the 33. Strap a turbo onto the RB25DE and/or put the 25 head on a 30 block. 33 passed in cos the reserve was too high. I’ll try lowballing it again and negotiate. Aim is to have it landed and on the road for under 15k, then spend the same amount on top in mods.

      It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.

      First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm.
