Can I just say I was glad to see the 720 there, and I was glad to see you could hang onto it... It must be hard with so much power, yet so little weight over the back wheels :D

Great day out!

:burnout:

I had a diesel 720 4wd twin cab years ago, biggest POS I've ever owned. Wouldn't pull jesus off the cross. I had fully laden semi's overtaking me on hills.

Race_snooze - you legend.........................sorry I wasn't there [other things].

Sean, car is at Ed's as we speak, hopefully good news by about 1pm, i'll let you know.

Coool thanks, you make a big post of it, so as this one can die, not happy about my spell;ing at the start of the thread.

As for the 720 she is a beaut, L18 motor with a 180b 5 speed. Goes like a well I dont know any word to discribe her. She does me proud, starts first thing when I need her, I rev the shit out of her even with a load and she comes back for more. Almost uses the same amout of fuel as the 33, not, and she never uses oil or water, (that because there is none j/k) for now that is.

    • 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?
