Instead of modifying the RB25 one will the RB30 E one fit with the 25 pump, I would rather a straight swap over trying to modify the one on it, my problem is the 5 mm offset that is causing the power steering belt to come of at high RPM.

And I did search but only found that a RB30E bracket might fit.

Thanks, Mark

i just use the rb25 one i think. unmodified. just had to put spacers between the bracket and the block on two or the three mounting points. from memory this was only because the aircon pump bracket used to go between the block and the powersteer pump bracket on the rb25. so now that i dont run the aircon bracket on the 30 i needed to chuck about 30 mm of spacer in on two of the bolts.

*i think* lol.

cant remember exactly but i'm pretty sure the only different is the one bolt hole. i compared a 30e and 25 bracket when doing the conversion and thats the only difference i noticed. went from using the 25 bracket on the 25 to the 30e bracket on the 30det with no dramas, re used the old belt and its never come off.

Sadly the RB30 bracket will not accept the 25 pump and the top bolt hole also doesnt line up with the 25 head anyway, UNIGROUP are making a bracket up now so all is well.

Modified = good-Standard = bad

Thanks, Mark

On the rb26, the top bolt hole doesn't line up because on the 2.6 motor the top bolt is in the cylinder head, and on the 3.0 it's in the block. Pretty sure it's the same for the 2.5.

The RB30 bracket has all the mounting bosses at the same depth, but on the 2.6 the top hole has a thicker casting. I tried to use the rb30 bracket, but it sits the pump too far back.

Easy solution is to just hacksaw off the excess material from the 2.6 bracket, the cast iron is pretty soft and it's not difficult or time consuming to get a nice cut that sits everthing neatly and then you know you're belt lines up straight. I haven't had any problems with mine after 2000 kms.

My main problem apart from the top bolt which would need some fab work is the pump has different adjustment points, the 25 had a threaded rod where the 30 uses a slot in the bracket so I would need to swap from the 25 pump to a 30 pump, Its going to be much cheaper to fab up a plate and use the 25 bracket instead of replacing the whole set up.

use the 25 pump on the 25 bracket on he 30 block. and yer ur on the money, i went to use 30 bracket but the 25 pump wouldnt fit the 3 litre bracket so i used the 25 bracket and spaced it out im pretty sure.

A bracket was made to join the lower fixture points and the top fixing point on the bracket was milled out to allow it to move forward about 3mm so that the H/balencer and P/steering pump idlers line up.

She revs to 7.2k now without throwing the belt onto the under tray, WIN.

either use the 30 bracket or cut the excess off the top lug of the 25 bracket. easy

If youve got the 30 pump thats fine but if your using the 25 one you need to mod the bracket at the bottom with a plate and remove 5 mm from the rear of the top hole to allow the pump to move forward 5 mm.

The 26 pump/bracket is different again Im told.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
