Chinese cast iron blocks are not a nice thing from those I've seen, the same with cylinder heads. There are copies of the Dart Chev blocks coming from China now and they look good but the hardness just isn't there and the geometry apparently isn't great. There's a long thread about them on speedtalk at the moment.

Some stuff from China is really good, including many of the cheaper US branded conrods but a block is a lot more complex item. There are even fake ARP bolts being made there, it's good to know that the Spool rods run genuine ARP bolts, they arrive in the ARP packet separate to the rods. Some other rods around have bolts that look a little suss, they have ARP stamped on the head but not the finish you would expect on the rest of the bolt or no brand at all.

haha yeah i just rejected a whole lot of PROCOMP gear (heads, sheet manifold etc) as it was all junk. It is just a joke, but other gear from the right place (non procomp) is actually quite good ie stroker cranks and so forth all seem to be spot on

fuel cut explains the massive flames that gtr's shoot out on the limiter - most gtr's u will see in japan run this way. so my guess is that fuel cut is acceptable but not sure if its better or worse t

errr....might want to re-read what you just wrote Marko. No fuel = no flames

same shit for an oil pump, engine is still stopping and starting in the same way. the only difference would be between different ecu's, for example, a stocker rb30e ecu cuts fuel to all cylinders when

I read somewhere that Dart were boycotting (or getting people to boycott) the Chinese copy blocks and buy original Dart stuff.

Dart are smart, they have dropped the cost of their blocks to gain back the market, great idea if you can afford to do it. The rest of their products probably cover the cost.

The thing with Chinese stuff is, if you specify exactly what you want and supply drawings etc, then get samples, then keep a check on the quality, you get a good product at a good price. I've used some chinese 4g63 and Subaru cranks and they are not bad stuff. Spool rods, wherever Brad has them made are made to his specs and are better than the competition. He does supply specs, drawings and such for what he gets made. I know this for sure because I did a little cad stuff a while back for him.

The problem with some parts is they make them to a price rather than a quality, it used to be the same with Taiwanese machinery, it was junk, now it's some of the best around. Chinese stuff will get better as time goes on. Look at their space program, at least one out of every 3 rockets they launch now actually makes it into space and doesn't crash into a town near the launch site. One day it will probably be 2 out of 3..

i did this for my i/c silicone hose kit, worked out well in the end

Are any of these engines with failed pumps using bypass filtration? I understand the design spec issue and tolerance theories, but the comment about gerotor sensitivity to junk makes me wonder if it might be partially mitigated by better filtration?

Does anyone have an idea why the nitto pump has been changed to use a billet cover plate rather than the cast one they originally had? Call me paranoid but I just fitted one that had a cast cover plate.

the cast plate ones are fine...relax greg...ive used quite a few of them. Ill find out the reason for the change of you like. The answer...evolution...Nitto are constantly reviewing their product range to stay well ahead of the competitors offerings. Anything that can be seen to be improved will be upgraded/updated.

I'd be very interested to know Paul, thanks. The new flyer is a little better written anyway, it would be nice to know the grade of metal used for the gears, just saying "EN series" allows a pretty big variety of materials.

The pumps look the part, I still think the relief pressure they are set at is way too high though.

they are the same as a stock SR20 pump...no drama's with them...even at tight factory bearing clearances. Im happy with them after speaking at length to Nitto about it.

"NITTO has now released a new billet alloy backing plate allowing further stability to oil pressure and flow at high rpm levels by minimizing any possible flexing of the housing"

Does this mean that they were finding their original ones with the cast backing plate were flexing?

Also i remember reading from one of their previous pump descriptions that they were using EN46 for the gears...

"possible" is the operative word here. Im sure they didn't have an issue...but more the fact they wanted to prevent anything being the weak link in the chain.

yep Shane EN46.

Given that you've spoken to Nitto, do you know where the pumps are made? I'd have more luck finding Mr Snuffleupagus than info on Nitto.

I can assure you yes...they are made here on earth.

What is your concern with the pumps high crack-off pressure?

Nitto gear is not made in Germany thats for sure.

Got some info ?

Greg im sure you already know Mr Snuffleupagus is found hanging out with Big Bird on Sesame St.

Dave you typed a lot...for no response...if you have some info and you have decided not to post it feel free to PM me.

Here's Nitto's distributor website...its black and white.

http://www.tweakit.net/shop/product_info.p...roducts_id=7204

to be honest i couldn't give a rats arse if i found out they were produced by blind buddist monks in the mountains of Tibet...they are an excellent product that ill continue to use on all our engines.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
