not at the moment, the rebuild burnt a hole in my pocket. but i may get the crank and oil pump together. then just have the sump pulled off and the crank changed and oil pump changed.

may even get a harmonic balancer, but see what happens. as i have NO intension of reving much over 7500!! well not for the moment anyways!!

but wont they require the balancing???

i fully understand as i have missed gears before and it hit the rev limiter. which is just over 8000rpm in the 32's i thought. this was before the rebuild.

but dont most decent engine management systems these days have rev limiters as a function, im sure the power fc does. so to avoid over reving wont setting the rev limit at say 7500rpm work in the case of missing a gear??

cubes what typre of oil pump are you running? you have a high powered engine?

I built mine up over 2 years ago when JUN crank collars were over $600 + fitting. Now they are down $130 ish so it is very very much worth throwing one on as $130 is next to nothing in the grand scheme of things.

I had my PFC revlimit set to 6200rpm due to a valve spring issue, a missed gear change in to fourth and saw it hit just under 8500rpm within a blink of the eye. I find the pfc's rev limit isn't crash hot on free rev's. In gear acceleration its fine.

I run what was supposed to be a rb25det pump that had zero wear on it; I see roughly ~6kgcm/2 (85psi) over 3000rpm and 7kgcm/2 (100psi) over 3500rpm so it has healthy oil pressure.

Yeah, but cubes, you have fitted a collar and then run a 25 pump which has the thin drive, and you also keep the revs down due to the 3lt bottom end. In your case i'd say it wasn't needed.

If you were reving to 8k regularly or running a pump with the thicker drive on the stock collar i'd say otherwise, but in this case i'm looking at a lot of money that could have gone towards beer and hookers.

Not denying that it's a known weak point in the r32 rb26's, but if revs are kept reasonable (under 7.5k) then there shouldn't be an issue. There aren't that many rb25's reporting failures with their factory 7k ish limiters and they all have the thin collar.

Agreed but the colars are so damn cheap these days. You'd be pushed to get a decent cim :P hooker for the price of the collar + fitting.

I don't run a collar as it was out of my reach at the time.

The ONLY pump that has the same width drive as the std cranks drive is the RB30E pump.

The RB20det runs a wide crank engagement BUT the inner gear is a touch thinner and from memory it also had one extra lump than the rb25 pump I compared it to.

All the other pumps, RB20, rb25, gtr, n1 etc all have a drive that is much wider than the cranks drive.

The RB25 pump I have looks exactly the same as a GTR pump.

I'm sure you can guess which one is the rb30 oil pump and which is the 25t pump. :)

:P

What my point really is...........

The topic of the thread is 300rwkw+.

An rb26 with 300+rwkw doesn't exactly spool such a sized turbo early. Turbo comes on hard say 5000rpmish?, thats a 2000-2500rpm power band. Drop it in the lower gears and its even less. :S

If its being rebuilt.. Why not. :happy:

I hope you lot can see what I'm getting at. A car with a small power band is shit to drive and slow in its lower gears.

what sort of oil pump was the first picture of the drive out of?

i understand what ya saying. but dont the early r32 gtr oil pump drive sit alot closer to the block than the ones that require the collar? and with the collar does that require the crank to be machined then fitted or does it slip over the original drive?

It could be either an Rb25 pump or rb26 pump. Not sure.

Oil pumps.. Basically all the same apart from slight differences in width for higherflow etc etc.. All the pumps gear width is much larger than the cranks engagement lug.

Another option is to grab the R33 GTR crank as Nissan rectified the fault in the R33 RB25DET Series 2 and R33 GTR's.

Here's a pic of a gtr crank and one with the collar. The Rb30 crank had the same small engagement lug as did the old rb20; no difference in positioning. Unfortunately it does require slight machining for fitment.

ah so i may have been told a load of crap. therefor the crank on the right hand side(of the picture) is the type of crank that is in my rb26(older 32 gtr)? because i was told that the oil pump drive widths were exactly the same, just the newer one sat further out from the block, hence the witness marks on the r33 gtr pump that was in the car when i brought it.

    • Pay careful attention to the kinematics of that upper arm. The bloody things don't work properly even on a normal stock height R32. Nissan really screwed the pooch on that one. The fixes have included changing the hole locations on the bracket to change the angle of the inner pivot (which was fairly successful but usually makes it impossible to install or remove the arm without unbolting the bracket from the tower, which sucks) and various swivelling upper arm designs. ALL the swivelling upper arm designs that look like a capital I (with serifs) suck. All of them. Some of them are in fact terribly unsafe. Even the best one of them (the old UAS design) shat itself in short order on my car. The only upper arm that works as advertised and is pretty safe is the GKTech one. But it is high maintenance on a street car. I'm guessing that a 600HP car as (stupidly, IMO) low as you are going is not going to be a regular driver. So the maintenance issues on suspension parts are probably not going to be a problem. But you really must make sure that however your fairly drastically modded suspension ends up, that the upper arms swing through an arc that wants to keep the inner and outer bolts parallel. If the outer end travels through an arc that makes that end's bolt want to skew away from parallel with the inner bolt, you will build up enormous binding and compressing forces in the bushes, chew them out and hate life. The suspension compliance can actually be dominated by the bush binding, not the spring rate! It may be the case that even something like the GKTech arm won't work if your suspension kinematics become too weird, courtesy of all the cut and shut going on. Although you at least say there's no binding now, so maybe you're OK. Seeing as you're in the build phase, you could consider using R33/4 type upper arms (either that actual arm, OEM or aftermarket) or any similar wishbone designed to suit your available space, so alleviate the silliness of the R32 design. Then you can locate your inner pivots to provide the correct kinematics (camber gain on compression, etc).
    • The frontend wouldn't go low enough because the coilover was max low and the upper control arm would collapse into itself and potentially bottom out in the strut tower. I made a brace and cut off the kingpin and then moved the upright down 1.25" and welded. i still have to finish but this gives an idea. Now I can have a normal 3.25" of shock travel and things aren't binding. I'm also dropping the lower arm and tie rod 1.25".
    • Motor and body mockup. Wheel fitment and ride height not set. Last pic shows front ride height after modifying the front uprights to make a 1.25" drop spindle.
    • Here's Logans Silvia with R32 Drivetrain, mine will be slightly lower (more angle). He was constantly blowing the RH axles at around 16deg. I want to avoid this.
