R32 Gtr Firsts Things To Change

[Hadouken]

Dude you don't have to break the pump to spin a bearing. They have oil control issues from factory which causes bearings to spin. Plus its an old engine with god knows how many km. Factory didn't do too well in that area.

Im pretty sure a RB26 lasting 20 years

with god knows how much abuse it has received and the unknown km it has traveled, including all the launches it must have done, and red line pulls,

Is pretty damn good.

I know mate, that's why I said it depends which one he has. Do you think it's worth the trouble to change the oil pump on its own? All that work! If it's the late model one just leave it, even if it's the early model pump Its not worth all the work and trouble unless doing other things too.

[Hadouken]

I completely agree. No point changing oil pump until the engine is on its last legs. unless you're cashed up.

I was only emphasising "Factory didnt do well"

Lol sorry man I didn't express myself correctly, I know what you mean. I wasn't trying to say they were shit like I came across. I agree with you!

Regardless of your future plans for the car and If it is dead stock try these two and see how you get on.

Do a hot oil filter change.

Do an air filter element change.

Reckon then your first items would be a filter relocation kit and pods.

Lol, Have done it twice now, all you need is skill

IMO changing the oil pump is not justified cost/benefit wise, since, as stated, its an engine out job. Just don't hit the limiter and replace the harmonic balancer if its stuffed. I'd be more inclined to change the turbos, but then again, my oil pump hasn't failed and my turbos have...

Other than that just the normal stuff, so fluids, cam belt (and the associated idler and tensioner) if its anywhere near due (or if you dont know).

Why? More clutter?

Why? So you can sound crazy and make no more

power than an air box?

Those of us who drive completely stock 32 GTR's (not 33 or 34) would know the hydraulic HICAS valve bank makes changing the oil filter a mission. Filter can't be seen from above or below.

It also requires an AFM and boost pipework to be removed just to check an air filter.

I'll always put ease of maintenance ahead of modifications.

Obviously the FIRST thing any new owner should do is get the workshop manual and start reading.
