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

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:

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
