Hey guys,

I just got my car back from a 3 year build. Its a 26/30. It has a jun pump.

All is going well with it but the tuner says the oil pressure is high at around 130-140 psi but then drops to 120ish over 6500rpm. He was concerned about this? Do jun pumps usually run this high? and is the dropping oil pressure a concern or is it still plenty of oil pressure to keep everything happy?

You'll have problems with that much oil pressure.

110 is probably the maximum you would want to see. 90-100 is more normal.

What bearing clearances were used and was the pressure relief valve checked before the pump went on?

Dont know the bearing clearances right now. I wouldnt think the pressure relief valve was checked. The pump was just put on. How should the relief valve be checked?

What sort of problems will I have with that much oil pressure? Im running the engine in at the moment and have to put 1000km on it so will it be ok before I have to take it back?

Thanks mate

dont the 30 pumps run the small oil pump drive though? im talking on the oil pump not the crank.

thats correct...the pump is a different gear design and is not prone to the Jap pump problems. Pull one apart and you will see what i mean.

crack off pressure is the point at which the relief valve opens.

thats right they are like the tomei pumps, they run a 'spline' drive gear setup

i wouldnt trust one on a big dollar motor though

But your not Maatouk's, Birrong Automotive, JW Auto etc running 8's with them

Dan what problems will around 135psi at low RPM produce?

Thats probably why you only run 9's. If you ran the 30 pump like all those other fancy stables you might crack 8's. :cool:

lol...im struggling to even run a 9 now, we will see what happens when the car arrives up here to race. A few little tricks we have planned for it.

Also you can add JPC and most of the Melbourne VL boys to that list.

Im currently running a JUN pump now but will go to a Peterson external pump when it breaks.

My forklift bottom end will run a VL series II or VL turbo pump (they are the same) reco'd and modified by JW Auto.

A little birdie told me the car is only 2 minutes from my pad as I type.

Might go round and key it tomorrow. :blink::cool:

your 'little birdy' has been snorting too much powdered cuttlefish.

i know where the car is and its no-where near you Fox.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
