^^^ Dan, are you aware that N1 water pumps are only good for pure track cars? 5 minutes idling at the traffic lights in hot weather will pretty much cook your motor with an N1 water pump - as they are made for constant high revs and the anti-cavitation design of them causes very poor water circulation at low (idle) revs. Just a thought.

Hey andrew

I did some research after last time u told me this, and its the N1 Oil Pump that does this

the n1 water pump has no problems whatsoever, it actually eliminates low end cavitation without compromising top end

besides 5 minutes of idling in hot weather will not be caused solely by the water pump. the tubes, water pressure and rad core is also an issue..

srs, check it out, its the oil pumps. thats why im gonna stick with my stock oil pump, but the n1 is a worth upgrade

-D

EDIT - it may very well be a case also of supporting mods - i have new hose and 52mm radiator. that would help offset idle temps, however I really dont think a 52mm radiator does much more than a stocker when one is standing still ;P

ah, well that is a bit bizarre. That information was given to me by Craig at Main North Nissan, who knows his Skylines inside and out, backwards and forwards. I was going to put an N1 pump in mine when I replaced it and he advised me very strongly against it and told me the story I repeated. He talked me out of spending extra $$ on the N1 pump, so it was actually against Nissan's interest to tell me that.

Weird.

But let me guarantee you - when your water pump is not working properly (like mine wasn't) then you easily cook your car and hit 100 degrees in 5 minutes flat in hot weather .... I can assure you that as fact. Despite me having an aftermarket radiator, oil cooler and twin thermos it STILL cooked, as the water pump was transporting very little water around the engine. It is a heat transfer system, so if the pump is not pumping enough water around, you cook. Easy as that.

The design of the N1 pumps is much more hollowed out on the outer housing which stops the top end cavitation. This does however result in much lower flow during lower engine revs/revolutions of the water pump/belts. Think about the logic.

I am just repeating what I was told by Nissan's top parts guy in Aus :) He sells a LOT of Skyline parts to a LOT of punters, and businesses alike.

Hey Chad, next 35+ degree day go warm up your car then let it sit out in the sun and idle for 10 minutes. I bet you your water temp reaches and exceeds 100 degrees C! Might be good to test out the theory and graph the temps. But hey, if yours works fine then maybe I am wrong.

IIRC the stock water pump is the same price as the N1? Loads of other people running N1's on their dailies... SLED's old beast had one I'm pretty sure (since pete organized the group buy in the first place)...

anyone else?

Sorry for OT.

-D

Edit - Main North Nissan eh? I rang them up to ask about HICAS repair or Consult codes and the guy on the phone had NFI what I was talking about :|

    • It depends on what the guy who bought its Ratio is. Mine is a 4.36 Jus Jap told me anything above a 3:9 has equal length shafts which the Nismo center's shafts were not.
    • If those shafts in the last 2 photos are the ones that came with the diff, you have no hope of fitting the other ones because they are completely different 
    • I have recently fitted a Nismo GT Pro Center second Hand buy still in the box i got stubs with it but they are 5 bolt and I need 6 (3x2) I was told by Just Jap that for a 4:36 ratio the stub axles are equal length sku 38220-0V161. They didn't have any in stock but I picked up the ones pictured. The one with 5 bolt are the ones that came with the LSD. The right side went in no issues but the right....I have happened the fk out of it put it in a press and it still sticks out about 5mm too far. It was sticking out about 25mm but after bashing it like Chris Brown did to Rhianna I managed to get it a bit further in but seems stuck again now. Any ideas? Should I just leave it 5mm out and send it?        
    • Meh. I "see" a typo above, that should have been "sell".
    • The clutch pedal has a procedure for adjustment. This can only be done after you are 100% sure the system is absolutely free of air bubbles. You must bleed the clutch master cylinder first, then the "separation pipe" which is the clutch damper line, then the operating cylinder as detailed in the service manual. Also, you must fully depress the clutch pedal between shifts. Just because you can't feel it grabbing does not mean the input shaft is truly decoupled from the crank. At high RPM clutch plates are vibrating and moving around, you need to give it the best possible chance of success. On the BCNR33 Nissan revises these adjustment procedures slightly but not by much: I would be careful with trying to play games with these adjustments. As for the Nismo operating cylinder they say a lot of things. In practice the twin plate clutch needs less movement on the clutch fork to disengage because the whole stackup of the flywheel + friction plates + pressure plate is much taller. Personally if you find that the clutch still disengages too high at the top of the travel I would try the Nismo operating cylinder. Make sure to follow the air bleed procedures.
