I'm replacing the water pump timing belt etc. It's a 1996 series 1 Stagea RB25DET

Ordered a WP898 because that's what the supplier (Nason's) said it used on the RB25DET. Said it was the same as the RB30...

When going to install it, All the big bolts lined up. But the 6mm bolt (small one) is about 7mm off. Anyone know if the stagea water pump is different?

Even an ebay search says the Rb25 takes the same pump as Rb30

i looked at Nasons online catalogue and looks like the R34 takes a WP900... so might order that one ans see how we go.

Can anyone Save me some time and tell me the correct GMB or TruFlow part number? They should be the same.

Can I keep the WP898 for my R33 since I'll be doing that next?

Attached some pics so you can see what I mean

thanks

It would seem RB20 and RB30 are the same but different from RB25DET. Some aftermarket pumps have a slot so that they will fit either. Some people just ignore the hole that is wrong and leave that bolt out.

If you are able the best bet would be to change the pump for the correct one. If you can't return the pump you could just elongate that hole til the bolt fits and use plenty of sealer!

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
