For the RB guys.

You need money to play

First off, no matter the pump, make sure you have the full pump drive, most RB's besides late model RB26's have a very short contact area, this would need to be machined off and replaced with a full length unit.

Stock oil pump +/- R4000 - Not bad, doesnt fail often, can support good power, just dont bang it on the limiter.
Nissan N1 pump +/- R4800 - Total rubbish... the 2004 and older units were not as bad
Greddy +/- R9500 - Good, dont break to often but are known to have broken
HKS & Jun +/- R12 000 - Very good, very rare to hear of faliures unless its due to substantial abuse
Tomei +/- R15 000 - The best direct fit pump available, requires massive oil mods to stop over oiling

There are a few drop in gear sets available into stock housings, for the money you might as well get a greddy or HKS.

Me personaly, I would not go external pump, if your going to do the mission of mounting pumps, brackets, belts etc just go propper dry sump, will cost you similar to slightly more than a Tomei.

Remember, like an ECU is the brain of your car, the oil pump is the heart, if it fails you can spend massive money rebuilding, if not picked up right away it could cost you the whole motor.
