oil pump

I spoke to a friend at Nissan he said they do a oil pump refurb kit has any one used this kit or would it be best to use complete new pump ?

Yes a rotor kit can be had from Nissan. You will need to strip yours to see if the oil pump housing is marked if not a rotor kit can be used but a complete new pump is better.

Ok brilliant thank you

Used to be able to get a bigger rotor  kit from somewhere but think there discontinued now

Iv been told the standard and after market ones are diffrent?

Hit a snag spoke to Nissan but there not able to sell a rebuild kit, does anyone know where I can get a rebuild kit?

Don't waste your money just buy a new pump because if any fragments of metal have gone through it I guarantee you it will have scored the casing.
Just not worth the gamble to save a few quid

True might as well get one orderd at least it's all new then

As above I know things cost but is it worth it I had a forged lump and someone rebuilt it few thousand mile later. Oil pressure droped slightly checked everything without stripping engine next thing 60 mph bang turns out oil pump was inspected or rebuilt and it parted inside as someone did not lock tight the screws apart from that engine was as described when bought and got a good few thousand miles before it gave up. Shop around as prices vary and importing is a option just calculate import duty on it and post your findings or Nissan price please

True points Johnny, I seen someone post that a new pump can be brought from USA for £175 deliverd but can't find who from, nissen would be around £300

about 118gbp base price.
If they keep invoice low for import tax reasons it works out real good.
even here buying from usa works out cheaper than getting one sent in from japan which seems stupid !

Brilliant thank you you've beat me to it, Il get one orderd tonight.

well iv just orderd it and the total was $198 dollars so thats £128 pounds i think thats a bargain
and delivery is 2-5 days couldnt moan at that

Well done mate .... a good saving from the nissan one .....

As above

Sorry to ask another question, chain replacment kits, is there any need to replace the cam gears? Or just do the chain, tensioner and guides?

Is there any wear on the cam gears ???

Iv not had it out yet so don't know just getting parts ready for the rebuild that's all

Unless its thrown a rocker at some stage or engine has seized the chain and drive gear should be fine.
However if you do want a new chain, sprockets, guides and hex bolts I think I have some new ones in stock

Bob I remember speaking to you about starting up and a rattle for 1-2 seconds is that chain tensioner?

No that will be an oil flow issue which could well be the pump or a blockage somewhere, if chain, guides or tensioner is badly worn it wont go away after a couple seconds

It was a minor rattle just on start up, just for a second that's all
