most important is to have a correct fitting screwdriver, if then doing as Simon has said, and you still cannot get them,

then do the same again except with vice grips around the shaft of the screw driver.

Thanks guys for all the tips, will give it another crack tonight.

Mafia - I did actually try freezing the whole thing, sounds like I got it around the wrong way! Will try the heat option.

:cheers:

need the correct sized screw driver, a way of holding the oil pump so it wont move. pref horizontally, then lean into it with your body weight and try and crack it.

avoid using an impack screw driver thats for sure

Why would you avoid using impact screwdriver I used to be a engine rebuilder and using a impact screwdriver is the only way using heat warps the housing which is a good idea

Had the same problem, use an impact screw driver....

Or what I did was vice the pump, got the correct size driver with a large ring spanner on the handle for leverage,

Then turned it while a mate pushed down and located the screw driver so it doesn't strip out

ive pulled plenty of oil pumps apart none of which have needed heat or an impact screwdriver. i'd say avoid an impact scredriver cause an oil pump is a fairly sensitive thing in a weakish housing.. some people are too heavy handed and too much potential to f**k it up

I pulled apart plent without needing an impact screw driver lol

purchase a screw driver with a hex style shank so that you can fit a spanner on the shaft.

place screwdriver end into screw, give the screw a couple of love taps to shock the thread,

Then use the spanner on your screwdriver to crack that bad boy

You really need a degree in the bachelor of arts thumbsup.gif

If your having so much trouble undoing them with the correct size screw driver, it sounds like its been pulled apart and had the screws loctited previously. They really arn't that hard to remove at all.

As said before though, hex shanked screwdriver.

Sit it outside on a stinking hot day, use gloves to handle it and then do as above^^^^ the extra heat works. If its winter use an oven on low around 50'C and try it.

A bit of low heat will let you undo the impossible.

Well I finally got around to giving it another crack. Used my impact driver and they came out easily haha. Thanks for all the input :)

Also suprised to confirm that Neo's come with an N1 pump as standard.

      R32 GTR - Where to begin

      Regardless, its peace of mind swapping the factory twins for something else. Personally if it was me: Link G4X Additional sensors for engine protection Twins Oil pump mods(maybe throw extension to sump) injectors/Pump Clutch Exhaust Oil Cooler Good pads/suspension Should be good for 3-350kw depending. Granted thats closer to 15k but still.

      My R33 never ran more than stock boost but it was unclear whether the turbos would last. Maybe OP's car is less of a question mark but for my stock turbos had over 175k km on them + 25 years of use. That's a very long time to hope nobody has ever accidentally put physical shock through them, no debris in the exhaust gas stream, no boost leaks that could cause the compressor to spin faster than it otherwise should, no oil coking in the journals, no wear scars for any reason, etc. You could pull the turbos and disassemble to inspect/overhaul as needed but for that kind of effort you may as well replace the ceramic turbine with something that can take a bit more abuse no matter what you find in there. Stock boost ceramic turbos really don't make that much power either.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      A Pillar forward?   The part above I was just looking at was the reo bar, I'd replace it, UNLESS the panel beater is GOOD. From your early photos, it did look like the chassis might be tweaked, or at the very least there was tweaks in radiator support. I'd personally do a new / second hand unmolested reo bar, and drill it, only so I know underneath the pretty painted front bar, there's not a mess of other metal that's been hit and smacked.

      Yes no yes. Pineapple rings do do a certain amount of subframe "locking up", in that they do add some resistance to lateral movements. But the primary reason they exist is to alter the driveline angle. Depending on how you install them you can either increase or decrease rear traction __ a little bit __ by changing the angle of the lower control arms relative to the car/pinion angle. The thing is, given what they are, how and where they are installed, their lack of engagement with anything in particular, there's a limit to how much benefit they can offer. The GKTech collars put metal into the space in the stock format bushes, thereby limiting how much give they have. The rubber is still there to take up some force, albeit perhaps preloaded a little by having some extra metal jammed up into it, but the increase in stiffness comes from making it so that the stock format bush can't deflect that large bit of rubber over into the space adjacent to it, in any direction. Top AND bottom. Which the pineapples certainly do not do. As I said in my other thread - I'm convinced.
