- - GTR32 Oil Pump (https://www.gtrforums.com/forums/engine-turbo-tech-%7C-engine-management-%7C-tranny-tech-19/gtr32-oil-pump-1865/)

I'm about to buy a Skyline GTR 32 and I just wanted some info.
From what I have read it seems the GTR 32 has issues with the oil pump and fails because of a weak oil pump drive collar. Is this a common occurrence with the vehicle, or mostly when its being raced on the track? And if so, is there any option other than the expensive Tomei brand for an upgrade in an oil pump? Would it be worth changing out before any damage is caused?
Thank you in advanced, I hope your experience can shed some light into this!
