So if N1 Pumps are no good in street driven cars is this because they are prone to low revs cavitation?I was under the impression that they were made especially to not cavitate???

Does anyone else know of a larger pulley to put on the stock water pump to slow it down.

If anyone knows of what to use and where to get it from can they let me know.

Straight from the horse's mouth:

Maybe I am the only one who has compared them, but the spec sheet confirms it. The N1 water pump is specifically designed for continuous high rpm use, so it doesn't cavitate. This means it pumps less water around at lower rpm. So if you use your RB26 a lot (only) on the track, an N1 water pump is maybe worthwhile. But driving around the street it will be a handicap, maybe on hot days with the aircon on, in traffic. The RB30 pump is much better for this as it was designed for lower (average) rpm.

Per the post above, the RB30 pump is a better way to go, it has less blades than the standard pump but its not as bad as the N1 pump.

Plus they are super cheap to get since they are from a local engine :D

Super Cheap Auto have them $80.

All RB engines use the same pump.IE RB30 Pump bolts to any RB engine.

I just want to use a larger pulley to slow it down so it wont cavitate up around 7-8000 revs.

Super Cheap Auto have them $80.
So do Bursons. And I guess Nissan would have them (Doh!), and also Holden dealers (VL Commodore).
All RB engines use the same pump.IE RB30 Pump bolts to any RB engine.

Not quite. I had to get one for a RB25 DET, and it turned out that there is a small (6mm) bolt that is in a slightly different location (about 1cm to one side). I had to get a pump from Nissan that has a slotted hole to accommodate either bolt position.

Nope, the rb30 pump flows less than the standard pump, and the n1 pump flows less again...which is why the n1 pump may not be so great in traffic (although Ive never had trouble with the race car)

So if the RB30 pump flows less then what pump is recommended?

For what its worth, I have had an N1 water pump on my R33 GTR for 2 years now and never once had an issue - The car is a daily driven streeter.

I have another brand new one ready to go on in a few weeks time when my engine is done.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
