Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

if that was the case, then 1/2 psi extra boost on a car with STD internals would take care of that.

Peeps generally do a rebuild with forged pistons and aftermarket rods to be able to cope with more HP, RPM & strength.........not for better response.

Alot of people dont realise this.

Driving home today i noticed the RB30 in my daily driver has done a bottom end bearing....sucks considering its a really tight motor, Brand new head, no lifter noise what so ever. So thats a job for the weekend. :laugh:

ive teed it up with ryan to have my new rotors installed when they arive, now to find a decent set of pads, and fluid.

:laugh:

Craig, Steve Madaz & I are doing our brakes soon with the EBC Redstuff....I've looked long and hard for a pad that has good cold bite for street use that's reasonably quiet, has reasonable fade resistance for light track work, low dust effect and without being too aggressive on rotors.

If you remember I posted this thread Brake Pads and the general consensus from the likes of Evil34, PureSX, Ryan & Jenkies (just to mention a few) was that the EBC stuff is pretty good, not to mention cheap and available on the Groups Buys .

The EBC Greenstuff seems to be good for street use but the Redstuff would be better for street/light track work, plus they're ceramic so very quiet & low dust. The Yellowstuff seem the way to go for heavier track work but also dustier, noisier and more aggressive on your rotors.

Hope this helps

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      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?
