Mine has about 3mm or more in and out movment. The pump is making lot of noise it seems and the fluid is kind of milky in the reservoir (like maybe air got in).

There is plenty of fluid in there.

New pump time I guess. Anybody know a place that recos them or approx cost to get a good second hand etc. Is it easy to tell the condition? Just check for play I guess

Thanks

what kind of noise? grinding?

You can buy a rebuild kit. (Ive got an rb20det pump)

The cheap kit for seals does o-rings and gaskets. It retails for around $35.

Next is the rotor and cam ring kit....its the part inside that does the pumping i guess. This is where the grinding noise i would say comes from. For the rb20 it has 2 of these - 1 in the front half of the pump for the power steering, and the rear for the HICAS. The rb20 one retails for $225 roughly, but yours being rb25, it doesnt run hicas off the pump so it will be cheaper.

Id say cost up a good second hand pump.

OR go to Nissan and ask them how much for the o-ring/gasket kit, the driveshaft for the pump, and

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
