Hello.

Just wondering what the difference is between the R33 gtr oil pump and the N1 oil pump for the same vehicle. Flow rates? Just jap sell the N1 pump for $595 i think. Is this a normal price, or does anyone know where to get them cheaper?

After a full rebuild, im a bit silly for not replacing the pump i think. The engine is now in the car, however, so is it possible to change the oil pump with the engine in the car? I dont have access to the car at the moment, so its hard for me to tell.

The standard pump looked fine at the time of disassembly, but im now having second thoughts and feel thats its not worth risking the 6 grand or so if the used oil pump collar cracks or something.

Thanks in anticipation,

Shaun.

the only difference is the N1 runs higher oil pressure flow rates are the same!!! THe n1 has a different spring in the relief valve, this is handy for running remote oil filters and coolers as you dont loose as much pressure. Depending on the pump you have and how many kays are on it, generally if they have low k's and you checked the backing plate was really tight you will be fine. As for price new N1 @ around $600 seems right probably can get cheaper but I dont really know.

You can change the oil pump with the engine in it difficult though. What car is it?? If its a gtr you will need to unbolt all the sump lift the engine off the mounts a little and them un bolt the pump and take is out. You need to drop the sump as the prssure relief valve has a bolt that is at the bottom of the oil pump and fouls on the front of the sump when trying to get the pump off the crank.

Hope this helps!!!

The N1 oil pump is just a standard oil pump with a stiffer relief value. It will increase oil pressure and is a good idea when rebuilding an engine. Oil Pressure would be increased but it flows the same amount of oil.

One weak point of the RB26DETT is the oil pump, so replacing it with an N1 is a good idea.

@$600 is a standard sort of price, you could get it a bit cheaper but not that much cheaper.

Don't forget to either blockup or get one of those Tomei Offores(spelling) to stop all that oil going to the Head of the Engine. You want the oil staying in your sump not the Head.

Hi Geoff,

I checked out that thread and have to disagree with one thing I wasnt sure so I just went and checked to be sure, and the r34 N1 pump I have here has 12 internal lobes same as the r33 GTR one I have here!!!! Now I know it is a genuine r34 gtr pump as I got it from nissan with the N1 part number on the front. Everything else checks out as the alchemist says, didnt check hardness havent got the equipment. This is an intereting one maybe they changed back on the r34 design or maybe the r33 pump I have is actually a N1 unit?? I will check that with the original owner soon. I like little adventures like this it adds to learning. cheers

Thanks for your input guys. I was getting a bit paranoid about re using the old pump, so i just bought a new N1 pump. I got it for $518 from Hi Octane in Rydalmere. I think its worth it for peace of mind. Nissan sell the pumps for $590 which is interesting.

It sucks that ill have to pull the engine out again, but you live and learn i suppose.

Any tips on how to stop the engine turning while pulling the crank pulley off? Im not looking forward to that!

Shaun.

one important thing to note is the n1 variants are designed for high revving such as track use and are not suited for every day putting around in traffic / normal use

Just to add, Paul, that applies only to the water pump and not to the oil pumps.

Shaun you will have to separate the gearbox as well to attack the rear sump bolts from memory, or maybe a 1/4 drive socket might squeeze in.

a search will reveal a few methods, one approach is to place a long handled extension and socket on the crank pulley, rest the handle of the extension on the nearest solid mount in the engine bay (make sure it's on the correct side!) and let the starter motor do the work (no resposibility taken for this advice LOL)

My 20 Cents worth.....

Don't waste your time and money, there is no evidence that the R33GTR N1 oil pump does anything better than the standard R33GTR oil pump. Other than have a stronger spring in the pressure relief valve.

It doesn't flow any more oil, it doesn't have superior strength metallurgy, it doesn't have wider drive flanges, the oil galleries are exactly the same size etc etc. It isn;'t thibker wider fatter or even heavier. It doesn't help if you have an oil cooler and/or remote filter because it doesn't flow any more oil. Extra (maximum) pressure is not going to help the bearings live longer. Zero oil pressure due to surge is still ZERO oil pressure, an N1 oil pump is not going to help that.

If you have already wasted your time and money on a N1 pump, then please let me know and I will buy your perfectly good R33GTR standard pump off you, stick a 5 psi stronger relief spring in it and I too will have an N1 pump.

:D cheers :(

I think SK meant if it was a brand new item re: standard GTR R33 oil pump (new) vs a N1 Oil Pump (new)

I understand that you wanted to change yours, not only for the sake of more pressure but mainly due to the original pump possibly being a bit worn.

Yeah, i think thats what he meant too. I couldnt start my brand new engine with a used oil pump in it! Even it it was perfectly ok, i have peace of mind now!

Shaun.

PS. On a side note Wet GTR, how much did it cost to get your SMC tuned if you dont mind me asking. Did have an Auto tune feature?

Regardless of new or old, take out the screws and use some loctite to reassemble for gods sake. Reports in my engine thread are that loose screws is common and coincides with low oil pressure.

Thanks for that Geoff, ill take a look at doing that.

By the way, the HICAS lock bar went in really well. I also did what you suggested before installing it.

Ill have to report my engine failure in your section too; ive been meaning to do that!

Shaun.

when we do all nissan engines we take apart the pumps, replace the screws in the backing plate with high tensile allen key bolts and use the high grade thread locking locktite for re-assembly, the allen key heads mean you can get alot more torque on the bolt, its a 10 minute job that lets us sleep at night.

Standard R33GTR oil pump for sale!

:D

Sold, PM me your bank details, where the courier can pick it up from and how much you want for it. After we check it out (crack test and measure) it is going in a 420+rwkw RB31DET. I know it won't be a problem.

:( cheers :D

    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
