I havent been on here much lately to see this thread.

Just caught wind of this. Have not heard anything about these failed pumps (which I normally would being an Aussie manufacturer) and if this is so I would be keen to hear about it. Can you enlighten me?

. In saying that we have only have two broken pumps out of the many 100's of units that we have sold internationally. Both these pumps had failed inner gears but were both due to the same reason which was from the pumps being installed onto used later model RB26 cranks that had the leading edge of the drive flats rounded which in turn enable the crank to try and turn within the inner gear. Obviously no matter how strong you manufacture a gear it is still a mechanical part that can fail given the correct environment to do so[/size]]

Yes, those highlighted points are taking it a little out of context to the full information, but it is still a failure.

Where did this come from? You should check your sent emails for that exact quote Andrew, because It came from your email.

I am leaning more towards a HKS oil pump mainly because according to HKS Australia they are the ONLY oil pump that is 100% made in Japan...

Hi Chris,

I'm glad you have an engine builder and are not one yourself. It seems that you don't quite understand basic mechanical properties which is fine but maybe next time you might think a bit further before posting up your ill informed wisdom.

Let me run through it - When you have a loaded gear that effectively driven inside by something that is larger than it (current twin flat RB inner gear design) then no matter how strong the gear is, it is still prone to failure if the drive is allowed to become a larger diameter than the ID hole in the gear. It does not matter if the gear is made from unobtainium and treated in kryptonite, it is still physically impossible for the gear to withstand the pressures being placed on it. It WILL still fail when the 2 materials are of similar nature in composition. IE: solid metal drive inside metal gear.

The "documented failures" you refer were not because of the product quality, they were a result of incorrect installation. Just the same as you can't blame a failed piston that has seen too much pre ignition on the manufacturer when it was the tuners issue that he could not tune properly (or other factors that are out of the piston manufactures scope that could cause the issue). A failure is not just a failure as you so professionally put it.

Nitto goes to a lot more expense than other manufactures to make these gears as strong as possible in both materials and processes used. This is fact. Have you tried emailing or calling HKS, Reimax, JUN, Greddy etc about their pumps asking where they are made, how they are made and about their failures? I would guess not and would also guess that you would not even get a reply. I'm not talking about a middleman wholesaler either that will tell you what you want to hear.

It is unfortunate that manufactures face this kind of flawed information being plastered over forums these days especially when it is information that has been directly supplied and obviously misunderstood by those that have recieved it due to not really understanding what they are reading. This is why you do not see many manufactures being actively involved in forums. Too many users trying to big note themselves to the wider community as gurus when their profession is something totally unrelated and their knowledge of what they are talking about is not up to scratch. It is a real shame. This by the way does not reflect the majority of forum users.

I reiterate once again - Nitto has not had any feedback on damaged gears in any way due to the product quality. ONLY due to ill fitment which was accepted by the installers in question. The "documented failuers" were documented by us and were not due to our product. Get it right next time before you suggest toward an issue being present that is not.

I reiterate my own point

Yes, those highlighted points are taking it a little out of context to the full information, but it is still a failure.

I am aware of the mechanical issue with the collar not mating to the oil pump drive correctly.

I didnt blame NITTO directly for the failure, I mentioned that there had been TWO failures in relation to the pumps.

Yes, your information is from you directly, Why do you think I emailed you about the oil pumps you have in testing currently that use a different style of pump drive.

What issue did I mention was present? NONE, I brought up the fact, that you YOURSELF had told me of these 2 known failures, which is also good that a manufacturer can speak of them openly.

Check your pm's

As of today...

My engine builder has....

My Jun oil pump(Last 1 available in Japan, had to directly talk to JUN themselves.)

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
