I have finally completed my 32/33/34 collection.

Took a while to chase them down, esp. the 32

(~300k)

I am still entertaining getting a 1999 34 in silver or chameleon but the chances of getting one are slim for the former and slimmer for the latter.

The '99 r34 has orange indicators vs. the clear on the '00 - but again, they are rare.

Nice

im currently going for the whole set, only in plastic kits....

I've got r32 gtr x3, r34 gtr calsonic, r34 gtt, r33 gtst(tho its ***t, need to buy new one), and r33 gtr

gonna get a r32 gtst, r33 gtst, r34 gtr, r31 gts-r, and more soon

gonna try get hold of a complete set of skylines from the original gtr onwards.

Kyosho in metal is very very hard to find though.

There are a number of what is called "J-Collection" models and they are substantially cheaper than Ebbro and they seem to have good accuracy as well. But their selection seems very non-Nissan - that is, no Skylines some Toyota but no Supras as far as I've seen. I would love a Supra plus and RX7 plus all the other 'S' cars like the Silvia.

They do have a 350z though...

    • Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".
    • Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.
    • Right, but if you replace the pump gears + put a spline or sine drive gear on the crank on a Nismo/OEM/N1/etc pump at that point do you really still want more flow/oil pressure? Let's say this is a the aforementioned "keep it simple" build, no more than ~400 kW at the crank.
    • Strength. And on the early RB26, full engagement of the pump drive.
    • I really don't understand the point of aftermarket oil pumps if your particular engine doesn't need more oil pressure. As far as I can make sense of it the problem seems to be cavitation from sucking air, maybe the pump gear design with how it interfaces with the OEM crank, and maybe the backing plate screws wanting to loosen themselves. How does flowing more oil fix these issues?
