Hi Guys,

i got some gears (sump extension kit, 10row cooler & oil filter relocation kit, cam gears) going into my GTR32 and wondering is it possible to modify my existing oil pump for more flow? I am think either modifying or get a new N1 oil pump but would like to hear any past experiences which some of you guys might have.

thanks in advance.

All I know is I've been told to get a new oil pump as the stock on the GTR R32 is far to small. Look's like I'm after a new N1 as well. So be intertested too on the advice.

BTW My beast was fairly well modded when I took delivery but some of the essentials have not been done to support the other mods. It has like a pair of GTR R34 N1 Turbs, all the HKS, TRUST and Apexi bling blings you could want for Christmas.

But no Oil Cooler, larger Oil Pump, Sump, Radiator. But hey - I no complain. Saved me heaps and has given me something to work towards.

I have Nismo Fuel Pump, SARD Injectors and Fuel Reg being installed and tuned today ;)

the problem with the r32 pumps is the drive engagement is too small, nissan knew this and fixed it on the r33 an r34 you should invest in getting your crank collared then fit a newer pump.. You can mod the stock pump by changing the spring rate in the pressure valve, this is all the N1 pump is anyway, something i found out after paying for a r34 N1 pump then having a close inspection and realising the stock one is the same!!!

i have checked with Nissan and seems that i can get a new collar from them. Is this the same crank collar you are referring to?

thanks

Talk to Ed about this, Greg from Pro Engines did the upgraded spring in the pressure valve on mine which is the only difference on a N1 pump. Its a piece of cake to do when you've got the sump off.

Ive also got Tomei sump baffles sitting at Ed's if youre interested ;)

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
