Hey All,

I am currently working with an engineering frim in SA looking into getting a MUCH stronger gear set for the N1 oil pumps. These will be just the gears for N1 pump, but made out of some really strong billit steal (or whatever will do the job).

I'm expecting them to cost somewhere around the $400 mark for the gear set alone, but i'll be visiting them again early this comming week to hopefully get a better idea about price and maybe a bit more detail on the materials and delivery time frame.

Depending on intrest i'm looking at a batch of 5 or 10 and will be completed by May the 22nd at the latest.

I'll be happy to ship interstate but will cost you an extra $5-10 (depending on how you want it shipped etc)

let me know if your interested, but i'll need at least 4 other keen people before this can get off the ground

thanks

Luke

Should be a lot of people interested in this if they've seen the price of jap brand pumps lately

Making it as an all inclusive kit to fit a in a stock pump case would be a good idea so buyers dont need to run around and find anymore parts

the pump has been delayed in getting to me, expecting it late this week now =(

but as soon as i get it i'll be down there for the engineers to take a look at it.

N1GTR: what sort of things would you be looking for in a kit?

thanks

I have been looking into this as well, i have had a whole oil pump on the CMM and im going to look at doing a whole pump, with external oil relif etc. The only think i could say with gets for a N1 is that if you look at a tomei pump, the gears are physically much larger diameter, this gives the gear more thickness so its harder to crack them in the "troughs" of the wave pattern.

  • 3 weeks later...

there wasen't a whole lot of interest, so i've put this on the back burner for a little while. i'll see if i can get some free time in the next week or so to head on out to the engineers (takes over an hour to travel there from my place), i'm also intending on taking my stock pump out there for them to have a look at as well - was a shame that the pump didn't arrive while i was on holidays

    • The easiest option might be to just spray a bunch of fish oil in there.  At least that way you can feel like you've done something while you continue to ignore it
    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
