rips,

i see. so having the girdle braced to the shithouse lets it rev more easily? please.. i know it will make it more reliable or what i think is good insurance..

if an engine crank moves around that much evan though its fully balanced?

not having a stab, but i think some peole may be mislead into believing there is no way a rb30 can do 9k without said girdle.. i mean there is nothing wrong with the cast iron stocker.

and regarding the oil pump issue, perhaps i have seen to many rev limmiter dammaged pumps that have swayed me into thinking they will fail. or if not but when.

i take it you have a race only balancer setup and a very soft (good) rev limiter?

Shanef, (with tounge in cheek) I'm so glad you know all about my products, what they can do and what they can't what they include and what they dont and what works with what and what doesn't, saves me alot of time, incredible :D (couldn't find sarcastic face, lol)

IMO the sump bolts play a key part in holding the whole deal together, you wouldn't be happy to let the sealer dry then pull out the bolts would you?

If you can spread load in any direction and minimise it at any point it has to be an advantage and the sump bolts are definatly to be counted as an integral part of the bottom end.

Sorry rob while u were busy working i was just sitting on my bum on the computer as only a good aussie does so i thought i'd reply on your behalf.

Pass that sarcastic face please :)

Re the sealer drying 'issue', i'm half looking into getting gaskets cut to make that process alot easier. Then thatd also give a consistant thickness so it wouldnt affect the clearances with the aftermarket girdles. Have u thought about doing something like that too?

I'll put that idea into the adapter plate thread so it can be discussed there too

rips

how long does it take you to assemble one of these bottom ends?

hows availability? how would i contact you buddy as im quite serious about a rb30 in my hopefully new r34 gtr.

my current r34 gtt is just to much wheelspin with the rb30 =[

Ill take some shots this weekend...ok

australians build some of the best gearboxes in the world...why is it so hard to believe they cannot do it with transmissions Robbie?

These guys engineer some of australia's best street and show cars so i don't at all question what they have achieved. Mick Stanic from Subzero also has done a T400 GTR box although ive not seen that one 1st hand.

Whatever happen o the picture?

    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
