Some years back i saw spool imports  create  a billet oil pump gear and also a sline drive kit for both n1 and oem pump. However i saw no reviews on these pumps. I would like to know how many of you have used these and saw good results... please feel free to expand on this topic :) 

Just for reference i used a stock RB26 pump in my RB30 and always had adequate oil pressure even on hot track days. Apparently there was a time when dodgy knock offs were sold but the OEM item seems pretty good (you need to locktite the  screws) for many users.

I did, I wrote something about the Spool v1 gears (black anodised) being munched up when I spent the entire skid pan at the limiter. However the gears were placed into stock used N1 oil pump with over 200k km on the clock.

Got in touch with Spool and they said those years aren't theirs? Interesting because I bought it from their damn site!!

Pretty perplexed anyhow, bought v2 of the gears, also with a brand new N1 pump and they're still on the car now. Has been through 3 hours of dyno, 1x skid pan, a big drive to Singleton and back to Western Sydney.

    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
    • lights are on just the one click.  
    • Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.
    • When I was eyeing off the 370GT (after deciding I didn't want to spend 30-40k+ to relive my early 20s in an R33) I thought it'd be a good project to add a turbo to it. Now that I have a 370GT, and I've had a couple of chances to open it up, I'm pretty stunned by how much power it makes 🫠 Honestly, the way the VVEL opens it up, it almost feels like there's a little turbo tucked away in there somewhere. It's like Nissan looked at VTEC and said "hold my beer" 😁 Has anyone thrown a turbo into their 370Z or 370GT? Is there a conservative boost level you can run without having to upgrade the fuel system, or are bigger injectors and a bigger pump a given?
