Sorry to hear about the car dude. Hope it all work out. I also had a near miss incident in the rain about 1 month after I got the car. Was gonna make a right turn in 2nd gear, I got the radio on so couldnt hear the engine. Boost kicked in at about 2200 and the car spun sideway and missed the kerb by few inches. Was extremely lucky and this was when my car was near stock!! Anyway I learned the lesson, beside not turning on the radio too loud during the rain I'm also using 3rd gear whenever making a turn. Boosts in the rain = accident . . .

near misses always make me s#$t myself.

As for choice of repairer, im not sure if they do. Either way i think the front bar will need replacing, as the fibreglass was cracked all the way through (even picked up a chunk of it off the road), so i posted on the R31 club forum to see where i could get replacement bits n pieces, if needbe.

JeeTeeEss25Tee, unfortunately, i learnt the hard way that boost + rain + oil/grease = ARRGGHHH

I just can't wait to see her again and look into her eyes n hear her voice :P ... I should write a novel

times like that i wish i had a T88 on the side of that RB20, atleast i'd have to be revving it for it to spool up bigtime n get it sideways or something (granted it probably would if i was giving it in a straight line on a really rainy day) so atleast then i know i was being a dick and can blame myself :D

      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.
