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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
