as for pics, the closest thing right now is in the car chase thread. Looks rather similar to that, cept more concentrated on the LHF side, and more crumpled. Also managed to push the bonnet down a bit so it looks like that :)

withdrawals are shocking to cope with. Tried calling you to ask if you could come pick up the shit that was in my boot, but, it's in a holding yard already :(

You know the corner out the front of the pub next to sutho station on east parade? on the bus stop side of sutho station

Aw well, $2100 excess to pay, IF the claim gets accepted. Im spewin, $2100 better spent on a turbo kit, or pistons, or what ever

I can relate dude, I took out the front of my '97 ser II a month ago and the withdrawals are so f&*kin bad it's not funny anymore, I have to see it everyday and not being able to drive it. Look on the bright side and stop whinging like a girl....at least you were insured ! I was on the back of a 3 car pile-up and I wasnt insured (Im 31 and just cars tried to get $5700 out of me for it) so my R33 is going to be the last car repaired after the other two. I'm up for at least $20 big ones so yeah, stop crying like a f*&kin girl and accept the fact that there are people worse off than you out there ! The only light shining at the end of my tunnel is that I still have my boosted VL Calais to get to work in.

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.

      Don't do what I did, use a 300000km old housing with billet gears. The old pump probably was clearanced with saw dust, Edward Lee's special engine treatment sauce and a good odo wind back. I had oil pressure issues, then replaces pump with new housing, new billet gears and 2x track day later binned a motor due to other oil related issues due to a previous engine builder. Long story short, buy a M2 or 3 or 4 N55/S55/S58 and enjoy life.

      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.
