*sigh*

I must admit I was looking at a WRX before my 'line too :rofl:

Damn good cars, and If getting my line was any harder than it was, I would have bailed and bought a nice clean WRX :)

It'll probably even be my next car... not sure yet :)

*Slap*

Kym, that was for your own good!

the one that didnt make it!

gtst = the rear wheel drive sports coupe/sedan and significantly cheaper version of the GTR?

I dont know a single gtst driver who wouldnt swap their car for a GTR... but then I dont know a beemer driver who wouldnt swap their 318 for and M3 either. ditto the xrw and sti.

the gtst might not be a gtr, but theyre a pretty fuggin good car, and for $20,000 they make similar platforms look like slow moving pieces of roley poley.

the closest aussie delivered car to the R33 gtst in recent times, in my opinion, is the monaro. which is an overweight underdone mantlepiece exhibit. nuff said there I think.

    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
    • Don't do what I did, use a 300000km old housing with billet gears. The old pump probably was clearanced with saw dust, Edward Lee's special engine treatment sauce and a good odo wind back. I had oil pressure issues, then replaces pump with new housing, new billet gears and 2x track day later binned a motor due to other oil related issues due to a previous engine builder. Long story short, buy a M2 or 3 or 4 N55/S55/S58 and enjoy life.
    • 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.
