so once every one is done arguying are u saying that the nitto is a viable option for a street and occasional track car??

Any pump is - N1, Nitto, Tomei - whatever.

Just comes back to your budget in most instances and how you are going to treat it.

anyone care to expand on the technical superiority this product has over the others Jim is referring to above?

Not just sales lines talking about a million hours of development and new fandangled technology. Any hard facts? Any Test Cases? Anything?

cheers

OK guys. Let's set the record strait for all the TRENTs out there:

1: The NITTO RB series oil pump is not owned by CRD. CRD has been involved with the testing and development of NITTO's products for a number of years now including the NITTO RB series oil pump. The pump housing is based on a proven design and is obviously going to look similar to other pumps on the market as they are all designed to be installed on the RB engine. Where NITTO went a lot further than the basic mass produced pumps eg: N1, Greddy, Jun etc is that they spent 1000's of hours redesigning and developing the oil pump gears to cure the high rate of existing oil pump gear failure that is still evident with other brands.

Guys, you have to understand that "the wheel" so to speak has already been invented. What NITTO has done has further developed the RB pump with more up to date materials which are far superior in strength and durability.

2: As to the manufactures of the Jun and Greddy RB oil pumps, the extreme similarities in both pumps would strongly suggest they come out of the same mass producing factory????

3: As for getting kicked out of Greddy that would have to be the joke of the week as I personally have made it known in our industry that I pulled out at the time that Greddy Oceania was set up. All I will say without slandering anybody on a forum is which is the worst form of self disrespect anybody can do is to say that we had differences of opinions.

End of story.

PS: Hi Trent! Havn't seen you since Tokyo Autosalon 2008. Give us call if you're ever up in Sydney. Cheers!

Will do Jim, i need another night out :D

i probably should have picked my words better and i appologise but the edit button does'nt work after an hour or so and after re-reading i knew i was gonna cop it.... My point was supposed to highlight the last thing i posted.... similar pump but cheaper.. cant be a bad thing? Not that CRD got "Kicked" from the network.

i will eat my words. :)

sounds to me the only difference is a change in material selection.

after testing a few gears its not hard to see how that change was soo easy :)

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
