As some of you know I bought a R32 GT-R about 4 weeks ago and everything was fine until something happened that concerned me tonight. I was sitting on 70km/h in 4th gear when my car felt like it lost some power, so i accelerated to maintain the speed limit, then the car kind of shunted forward a few times and at that time i noticed my front torque gauge jumped up to 5 and dropped again. This happened all in 5 seconds and has not happened before, does anyone know what the hell happened? As i said it felt like i was losing power at the time it happened.....

Any help would be appreciated guys.

Long shot but same thing happened to me not long ago.

Check for corrosion under the positive battery terminal. The two extra wires that connect via a spade connecter socket. Mine looked fine from the top but when taken off and inspected they were totally corroed. Caused the car to lose power then stumble intermittently for a couple of weeks before it just stopped dead one day.

good luck

      Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".

      Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.

      Right, but if you replace the pump gears + put a spline or sine drive gear on the crank on a Nismo/OEM/N1/etc pump at that point do you really still want more flow/oil pressure? Let's say this is a the aforementioned "keep it simple" build, no more than ~400 kW at the crank.

      Strength. And on the early RB26, full engagement of the pump drive.

      I really don't understand the point of aftermarket oil pumps if your particular engine doesn't need more oil pressure. As far as I can make sense of it the problem seems to be cavitation from sucking air, maybe the pump gear design with how it interfaces with the OEM crank, and maybe the backing plate screws wanting to loosen themselves. How does flowing more oil fix these issues?
