I have run into a problem that I haven't struck before, that maybe someone else has. It's an R33GTST S1.5 and it has a different bolt pattern (1 bolt only) to the previous water pumps I have used. I have tried 5 different water pumps (RB25, RB26, RB30 and aftermarket) and none of them fit. So I am going to order a genuine water pump from Nissan, but it is always easier if you have the part number. So has anybody struck this problem before?

Cheers

Gary

i can PM you my 1.5 engine / vin details so you can call nissan and get the part number but they are at home... if you need them let me know and when i get home il send them to you.

I have the vin number and engine number, no problems there. I was hoping that someone may have struck this problem before and has experience in ordering the right part number.

i had this problem before.

I used the s1.5 rb25 oil pump on my 3 litre block and there is one bolt that does not line up.

It leaked so i had to buy a rb30 one for it. i know this don't help..

So these rb25's were different to the rest?

Looks like it.

I have tried the usual RB26 pump that we use on R26's and it doesn't fit.

I have tried the hybrid RB26/RB30 pump that we use on RB30's and it doesn't fit

Obviously an N1 pump didn't fit either, not that I would have used one anyway

I have also tried a S1 RB25 pump and it doesn't fit

I have even tried an RB20 pump and it doesn't fit

The only other pump I haven't tried is a S2 RB25 and I don't have one of those.

i would try the series 2 pump.

series 1.5 means series 1 body and series 2 motor..

i wasn't aware there different but i guess they are . ( you learn something everyday)

hope it works for you.

seems as though you have been stuffing around abit with this

I think he's after the water pump dude.

maybe someone can at least take a photo of their series 2 water pump for Gary so he can see if it's the same.

    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
    • Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.
