hehe no worries pete! just holla my way!

sled as ryanrb25 about water pumps.. he got me mine!!

And yea as Luke said, for a 26 id pay the extra and get an N1 pump, With high revs standard ones tend to cavitate as N1's dont.

yeah thanks Ryan, as soon as I get my act together I'll track you down.

I'm definitely leaning towards the N1 if I can get one for a reasonable price but I'm not keen on paying $300 or more when a stockie should be a fraction of that price......I knew of a place overseas that were selling N1's for approx $200 but can't find them anymore.

Now apparently RB's don't use gaskets for their waterpumps.....huh!!? What do you guys put them on with?

I usually buy water pumps from sprints for around 70 bux, Genuine standard ones from nissan are about 180 or so onwards. They all come with gaskets, I also use HOLIMAR gasket bonder on the gasket aswell for safe measure.

all the gaskets i have got from Nissan haven't been that expensive. Having said that the R200 diff gasket i got a quote for the other day was $97.

So is Unley Nissan saying that there is no gasket for RB26 water pumps or just that you have to buy it seperatley?

EDIT!!

R34 GTR's are on the "NISSAN FAST" that I have and it only has a listing for liquid sealant with the water pump, no gasket. So that answers that question.

Hylomar?

I use that gear on all gaskets.. mainly plenum, inlet etc. Even used it on problem IC hoses that blow off. :(

But nothing wrong with silicon for the water pump gasket/thermostat housing. They are just a bastard to get off next time you go to service it.

Its a waste.. You will then have to worry about throwing too much oil in to the head and how to get it back again.

The N1 pumps are difficult enough to control and require restricting of the oil that flows to the head.

Stick with the RB25/GTR std pump or if you must go for the N1. RB25det and GTR pumps are the same.

thats the only n1 pump my mate could find. roughly $220 to buy then around 80-100 to get it here i reckon.

Just spoke to my mate who can get the N1 waterpumps for a bit cheaper than that including freight from overseas.

We're talking under $300 for 1 and as low as $260ea for 4 or 5.........anyone local interested?

Either way, at that price I'm going to order one cause I don't think we'll be able to find them cheaper anywhere else......and as stated by Ryan they don't suffer cavitation issues at high rpm and apparently flow better at lower rpm due to the bigger impellar with less fins.

I could be, depends on how soon you need to get cash? Gonna be tied up for the next few weeks...;\

-D

Ben that would be OK....it'll take up to a couple of weeks to arrive.

For peeps that I know from here I would be happy to take your word as confirmation and I'll order them either tonight or tomorrow and pay for the lot up front.

My new tie rod ends has arrived awesome :ermm: anyone fitted these before? Should I fit them myself I'm not sure because getting the adjustment exactly dead-on on both side looks to be a pain or should I have some suspension place do it so they adjust it and get an alignment done aswell?

on the way to work this morning i noticed my tyre was flat but becuase the insurance company in taking its sweet time to fix my car cant get the jack and spare out so had to keep driving or limp (10 min) to take locky to school and myself to work and when i got to work i noticed the tyre is about 15cm off the rim now :ermm: and i cant see where or why its flat

Put the tie rod ends on yourself. Use a tape measure and measure roughly how far screwed on they go. Then limp your car to a wheel aligners.

:ermm:

Kell, sucks about the tyre. No nails or leaks you can see?

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
