My understanding is N1 pump flows slightly more than factory Nissan.

Also, only revving to 8300rpm with 1.5thou clearance on rods and mains which is by no means large.

I've had it put forward that the oil filter relocation/cooler kit was installes incprrectly, so lines crossed and trying to push past the one way valve. Some gets through but not enough. Also, I'd say the pressure sender would read full pressure but the mains and crank would be getting SFA oil flow.

The last owner rwcieved the car back after work that required messing around in the oil filter block area. It had spun bearings when he got it back, i rebuilt it (like i have done plenty of times with other motors) very clean, oil galleries blown out and all clear. I just hooked the oil lines up the way they came off. I'm not sure of the correct orientation but id say I have a very likely cause here. F######

Is your crank grub screwed, or does it have the factory plugs?

What about the block? Did you drill and grub screw the main oil gallery at both ends, so you can push a cleaning plunger through from the main oil bearing oil feed groove to the main gallery?

I've heard of the incorrect thermostat hook-up killing engines before too...Multiple times too sadly...

It's n1 with aftermarket billet gears. Flows plenty for my application and strong enough for a stock rpm street motor.

My reasoning is that N1 GTRs in LeMans ran 24hour races on stock n1 pumps. I have bigger issues

bent crank? get a new one dont risk it even if its straight now.

replace oil pump.

replace oil cooler core as it could have metal in it (mine did).

Check turbos as they could have metal in it (mine did) and to rebuild.

Clean engine and make sure no issues. Crack test block.

See how you go. 2.6L is find if you already have the kit. Everyone here wanks on about 2.8L kits but meh.

I think firstly I will have my block inspected before I go buying a whole rb26, absolute worse case I need a new crank and a line bore/machining. If it needs a line bore or too much stuffing around I'll go get a stock 26 and bolt my gear on.

Yeah there is a thread on rb26 building on skylife that talks about it.

I'm not sure why I shouldnt use my new N1 pump, being that ita not the standard sintered metal gears, its aftermarket billet 4340 gears by spool imports. TWO-06L ran 11300rpm on stock n1 gears and ran low 9s. Oll be lucky to push 8000rpm+ on a street motor with stock clearances. Ill be fine.

SO after all this time....it isnt actually an "N1" pump

No its a spool billet n1 copy I suppose u would call it. There is about 5 other posts earlier where i said "n1 pump with billet gears". Effectively as strong as any other billet set.

    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.
