No such thing. The gasket for the standard pump can be used with the N1 pump.

Yeh i was thinking might have to try and reuse the standard gasket if its still in good condition when it gets taken off. the place i got the pump from said they dont come with gasket's but they have them when trying to buy one from them there telling me they have run out. just have to give the original one a go i guess.

Thanks.

goto nissan a new one for a rb26 oil pump is like $10 or so, dont risk using an old one unless u wanna pull the pump later because of a leak. You can use abit of gasket goo on it to but dont put too much or it could block the oil feed inlet/outlet.

if your north of river in Perth try Northside Nissan in Wangara, ask for Steve Barnes he is one of the main spare parts guys and knows gtr's well as he has one of his own and is very helpful.

Never use sealants where a gasket should be, except as a last resort. This is especially important with something like this oil pump. Think about what happens when you tighten the bolts....the sealant gets squeezed out of the joint face and some of it is squeezed out into the oil passages. How much is dependent on how heavy handed you are, but it can affect oil flow in bad cases. There's a reason Nissan used a gasket.

i got a few spare here if you get stuck. DO NOT use only gasket goo.... engine failure is only a gallery blockage away...

Any nissan or holden dealership should be able to have one the next day, i got some a few months ago, $7 each next day turnaround.
