Hello Everyone

I'm in the middle of rebuilding my motor and i have come accross that my crankshaft on the rb has the short oil drive. My question is if I was to have the oil pump collar put on my crankshaft, would the crankshaft need to be balance after fitting the collar in? The only reason why I'm asking machine shops

were I live don't have the equipment to balance the crank.

Thank You.

as a engine reconditioner and a x balancer.. rb engines dont need to be balanced as they where only a few grams out say 3 front and 3 rear and a pen weights about 10 grams so u know where im going.. anyway the crank will need to be machined to fit the coller and is used on rb30s and early rb2s as they didnt get enough oil for the needs.. the rb25 has the oil pump drive built up and the rb20s dontmake the power for the oil problem unless drifting.....

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
