Hi all,

I am currently looking for a upgrade oil pump for my GTR and due to the cost of the japanese made options such as the HKS and JUN units, I was going to settle for an N1 pump, that is until I see that Tomei also makes an upgraded pump but at a fraction of the price of the HKS or JUN pumps.

Does anyone have any experience with these?

Hi Guys, under the oil pump, in the price panel it says "Oil Pan Baffle Plate". So that is NOT the price for the pump. The part number in the panel under the oil pump is 193034, that's the Tomei part number for the "Oil Pan Baffle Plate". It is NOT the part number for the pump. If you asked the distributor for their price based on that part number, then when you order it you will get "Oil Pan Baffle Plate" NOT an oil pump.

My guess, the web site designer mixed up the price panels.:)

PS; if you can get the oil pump for Yen 19,800 I will take 5 please.

SK: I didnt actually go off the tomei web price as I noticed they listed the sump baffle price again underneath.

In the new speed magazine there is a 1 page ad for Access performance showing the Tomei pumps for a steal! $390ish from memory.

Thus my enquiry, though it looks to be a stuff up as I suspected.

Ok so I answer my own question:

In circuit running or drag racing, lubrication trouble is one of the major reasons for the blowing of RB26DETT. The main reason for this trouble is worn out bearing metal from decreasing oil pressure, caused by insufficient amount or pressure of factory oil pump for tuned high RPM and high out put engines. Also, since factory pump gear is made of weak sintered metal, it is not rare that broken gear at high RPM damages entire expensive engine block instantly. TOMEI RB26 oversize oil pump applied extra large pump gear that is made of high-strength material to let it breath enough amount and pressure of oil to the tuned engine and secures strength with its original design.

So have you "verified the price with the distributor in Melbourne" or not?? if you have how can it be a stuff up??

Actually smart ass, yes I did, but when another person called to confirm the price, they apparently admitted its most likely wrong.

B-Man, thats exactly right, the N1's have gone up a little as well and they were the cheaper option compared to the japanese brands.

I wont be forking out 1-1.5k for an oil pump so I think I will stick with the N1

Even with the N1 pump and baffle in the sump, you shouldnt have any oil feed or surge problems....Hopefully.

I havent yet after a track day *touch wood*

Watch the uphill left at Barbagallo if you are going hard on comp rubber, the baffles still aren't enough.

Back on thread, the N1 pumps have given us no problems yet but we keep our engines under 8,000rpm.

Cheers

Actually smart ass, yes I did, but when another person called to confirm the price, they apparently admitted its most likely wrong.

Yep I agree about the smart part, I knew what I was talking about in my 1st reply, it was you that said I was wrong :D

oh and nice attitude for a so called moderator :rolleyes: I thougt it was against forum rules to call names???

How about you go back and re-read the thread before you embarass yourself anymore.

1. I saw the price of these pumps advertised in Speed

2. I rang the performance shop advertising them, asked if the price was correct and was told yes.

3. At this point I started this thread to gauge some feedback on these units

4. Another individual also rang the shop, however by this stage they appear to have realised that there may have been a mistake.

As for name calling, I referred to you as a smart ass - which you clearly are :rant:

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
