oh, rev limiters kill the pumps too. if you have a "soft cut" limiter its not as bad. but a hard cut. (power fc) wont be helping. your crank is ok. it just dont like the revs and or limiter. and if you are reving it past 7k id be getting a better balancer. a r33 gtr n1 one at least :starwars:

What would you define a "soft cut" and a "hard cut" as?

Can someone tell me by looking at this list what partnumber would be needed for a r32 gtr with r34 n1 engine

probably somewhere near 400kw, and is going to be pretty much a race only car with next to no street use.

I've gotta get one of these before i put the motor in.

this is for Ati damper.

Cheers

Just as a side note the guy who builds (or used to build) kier wilsons GTR motors at wilall works at outlaw speed shop now. He says kiers car was running the "cheaper" of the 2 ATI balancers and was fine. So thats the one i went with.

I have seen those guys before, cheap prices. I ended up buying one from my local supplier for 700, more expensive but I support them as when i buy other parts like lots of speed flow fittings i can bring them back if they are the wrong ones etc.

My build if very basic with N1 pump but im going to balance the bottom end and run the ati balancer, hopefully will give me no dramas.

Just bolt it on, they are balanced from the factory, unless the machine shop used your existing balancer to rectify any other imbalances

I spoke to a bloke at Ross Tuffbond today in regards to one of their balancers. I think for many of our applications (mostly street driven sub 400kw cars), the Ross balancers are more than suitable. While the ATI ones seem like an excellent product, theyre also very expensive at over $800 in Australia. Although i have come across new ati balancers on ebay for about US$350 + $100 postage, but these were for chevy V8's etc. Im yet to get an email back from them as to whether they can get RB26 ones for the same price.

Anyway, the guy from Ross said they've developed a pulley that attaches to the harmonic balancer that drives an external oil pump used in a dry sump set up. Im thinking of heading down this path eventually in an effort to bypass the poor design of the Nissan oil pump drive. I havent researched it yet, but surely it can be done for less than the price of a Jun or Tomie oil pump (>$1500!!).

Anyone know anything about dry sump set ups???

ati balancer for 430-490 us for rb26 listed in the site i mentioned before.. horsepower parts

now as for drysump. i been looking at it for months, and i seen the costs of your typical normal setup

jun pump 1500

enlarged sump around 1000 ?

oil return mods 300?

now as for drysump.

the pump and the lines are the killer.

atleast 1000 for lines,

and atleast 1500 for a 4 stage pump and that only goes upwards.

tho you can source used pumps and systems from nascar teams in the states for rather cheep. and they have all the parts you need except lines...

check ebay usa for them..

i have since forgotten about drysumping for now

Yeah, i hear what youre saying. I just did 10 minutes of searching on this forum and quickly discovered that dry sump set ups are way out of my league.

There goes that idea!

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
