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:

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
