I know that bosch makes a water pump suitable for an rb20/35/26/30 so they are all the same in design... However i believe the flow rate would be different from a stock item....

But yeah they do all fit each other.... Its only the oil pump that is different...

No it is not the same, but you can use the rb30 water pump.

It has less blades so it flows less coolant at a given revs. Which means you get the similar effect as the N1 water pump at about 20% of the price :)

Thanks guys!

I got a price on both water pumps:

R32 GTR water pump $325

VL Turbo water pump $126

I might save myself any hassle and get the R32GTR pump. Massive price difference though!

From my experiences the only different one is the rb25 pump.\

If I were you I'd just get the holden one - mind you that is a pretty expensive price you've got there - I'd look a bit harder.

Cheers

There is a mounting hole different between the rb20 and 25 pumps, the small one to the top right of the impeller when looking from the front is in a slightly different position.

The N1 pump has an elongated hole so fits both.

I also picked up my last genuine pump (for an rb20) for about $130.

davies craig are certainlly electric....

All they make are pumps and fans...

I heard they are "no good" on RB26's by a workshop here in Melbourne. I was pretty keen on running an electric water pump as I have read that you would be able to gain as much as 15kw at the rears.

Anyone use these pumps on RB26?

a water pump is a water pump. it has a pretty basic job to perform. :P i cannot see how one pump will be "no good" for a particular engine. did they give you any reasons or anybody else heard this?

from memory the davies craig pump itself is <$200 and there's a EWP controller that allows you to set engine temps (through flow rate of the pump) and keep the water pump running after engine shut-off to assist in cooling everything down.

i've yet to hear bad things about the thing...

if your electrics fail your car will not run either, so the no pump wont be such a problem. lol.

but i agree if the wiring was faulty just for the pump it could be a problem, but a simple warning buzzer could be incorporated.

I must say i have heard people say to stay away from them too, but i've never heard it backed up. I'd love to know why there is such a fear of using them on GTRs.

i didn't have any problems whatsoever on my gtst with the ewp. i was very impressed with it. and i've yet to hear about one failing. i'd love to hear any problems people have had tho!

and re: the electrics. if you install ANYTHING dodgily on a car you're gonna have headaches. it isn't hard to wire one of these suckers up, nor is it hard for anyone with a head on their shoulders to make the wiring reliable.

mmmmmmmm My thoughts exactly! I'm really keen on going with the electric water pump. In two minds now. What do I do? Pay $325 for a new GTR water pump or a little over $200 for an electric water pump? :)

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
