My understanding is N1 pump flows slightly more than factory Nissan.

Also, only revving to 8300rpm with 1.5thou clearance on rods and mains which is by no means large.

I've had it put forward that the oil filter relocation/cooler kit was installes incprrectly, so lines crossed and trying to push past the one way valve. Some gets through but not enough. Also, I'd say the pressure sender would read full pressure but the mains and crank would be getting SFA oil flow.

The last owner rwcieved the car back after work that required messing around in the oil filter block area. It had spun bearings when he got it back, i rebuilt it (like i have done plenty of times with other motors) very clean, oil galleries blown out and all clear. I just hooked the oil lines up the way they came off. I'm not sure of the correct orientation but id say I have a very likely cause here. F######

Is your crank grub screwed, or does it have the factory plugs?

What about the block? Did you drill and grub screw the main oil gallery at both ends, so you can push a cleaning plunger through from the main oil bearing oil feed groove to the main gallery?

I've heard of the incorrect thermostat hook-up killing engines before too...Multiple times too sadly...

It's n1 with aftermarket billet gears. Flows plenty for my application and strong enough for a stock rpm street motor.

My reasoning is that N1 GTRs in LeMans ran 24hour races on stock n1 pumps. I have bigger issues

bent crank? get a new one dont risk it even if its straight now.

replace oil pump.

replace oil cooler core as it could have metal in it (mine did).

Check turbos as they could have metal in it (mine did) and to rebuild.

Clean engine and make sure no issues. Crack test block.

See how you go. 2.6L is find if you already have the kit. Everyone here wanks on about 2.8L kits but meh.

I think firstly I will have my block inspected before I go buying a whole rb26, absolute worse case I need a new crank and a line bore/machining. If it needs a line bore or too much stuffing around I'll go get a stock 26 and bolt my gear on.

Yeah there is a thread on rb26 building on skylife that talks about it.

I'm not sure why I shouldnt use my new N1 pump, being that ita not the standard sintered metal gears, its aftermarket billet 4340 gears by spool imports. TWO-06L ran 11300rpm on stock n1 gears and ran low 9s. Oll be lucky to push 8000rpm+ on a street motor with stock clearances. Ill be fine.

SO after all this time....it isnt actually an "N1" pump

No its a spool billet n1 copy I suppose u would call it. There is about 5 other posts earlier where i said "n1 pump with billet gears". Effectively as strong as any other billet set.

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
