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.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
