Hey guys,

I'm just about to do my 100,000km service on my R34 GTT. So far I'v got the engine oil and filter. The timebelt and the kit is on it's way. But I can't any the waterpump or the fuel filter. I'v tried two Repcos and Bursons. None of them stock the waterpump or fuel filter. They won't even order them in. WTF is going on? Anyone know some place I can get that stuff in melbounre?

Cheers People!!

You can buy N1 water pumps for cheap from forum sponsors

N1 water pump on a street car is not the best option. If the car spends a lot of time at high rpm, fine, but on the street you may find the car may over heat, especially in traffic on a hot summer day.

damn why are you guys buying from repco/bursons? theres a gates timing belt kit on ebay for around $360? thats the blue gates timing belt which is the heavy duty one.

kudos motor sport have the genuine nissan timing belt with ngk kit for around $260? why would you pay retail for?

Just buy a water pump off nissan for $90. If they don't have it in stock they can get it in that afternoon.

If you call a gates belt supplier you can probably get the belts alot cheaper.

I think genuine nissan timing belts are only $110.

also, bursons do have them. they are the same waterpump as used in a VL and a R31 I think i paid $70 fo one. just ask for one for a vl commodore in your best bogan accent and you will get it cheap :P

VL water pumps from a rb30 dont fit... at least when i tried years ago on my rb26 .. there ever so slightly bigger then the nissan items..

I've used a supercheap vl commodore waterpump on a rb26 before so I don't know what your talking about?? Perfect fit. All RB series water pumps are probably the same.

I think N1 water pumps are a little wank for a rb under 300rwkw. I've got a std radiator and pump with 280rwkw and the water gauge never moves in a 20 min track session.

      Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees.

      I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.

      Swapped rb25de neo how to get the gear indication on the dash to work

      I must preface my comments with a general expression of ignorance. I have no specific knowledge of these NA automtaic things. I can only assume that the "steering wheel button" is for enabling the tiptronic controls. Wierd that it would even need/want a button for that... But anyway.... Was the car previously tiptronic? Did you put a new cluster in as part of all this?

      Regardless, it doesn't seem wise especially on RBs to actually chase MBT. Timing scatter is the big one on stock CAS, even if that's fixed overshoot is worse than undershoot.

      It's all about reducing the overall output. Reduce the source of it, you have wayyyy less to deal with in every other step and trick you play with. It's why something like a modern vehicle, so VW, Audi etc, there's thousands of tables for the ECU to calculate what it should be doing with the engine.   Why would you NOT reduce emissions the most effective way possible, when it has very minimal tradeoff, AND manufacturers are always struggling to meet the current standards.
