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.

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
