No Idea but I hope not. Hopefully they have it perfect now !

(I have one)

Do you mean this ??

NITTO utilizes their precision CNC machined cast alloy outer housing and along with their already proven oil pump design 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.

This was the email that was forwarded to me. What I had been told was that the housing and backing plate materials were changing.

Housings being finished off this week and assembly will start again next week. I have about 40 back orders to fill but will advise as we are getting through them. Not long now.

Tomei pumps still fail unfortunately.

I just got off the phone with Nitto. Guy I spoke too was super helpful.

They are still testing these new spline drive pumps. They rekon they are pretty happy with it now. But until they are 100% they wont release it, understandable...

No definite date for release, but a ball park was a few months.

Hi Guys. Still working on the spline drive for our pumps. Was hoping to have this finished well before now but we have made several spline contour, clearance and count changes during testing and development. The field testing for this product is a nightmare also with the main test vehicle being a high HP GTR with 2 step etc and each time we change design the engine needs to be removed to allow for pump removal then installed again, then testing, then more testing, then engine / pump removal for inspection, change to new inner gear, remove collar and install new collar and so on. You get the idea. Hoping we have a final revision for testing now but I would be lieing if I gave you a finish date.

As far as the housings go we have just finished casting a new housing that is very similar to the old one but is a new mould, new casting technique, new material, logo and some very slight gallery revisions. Only reason this was done was because we were having some supply issues with our current casting plant which does not fit well with our stocking promises. Pictures on our facebook page (Search Nitto Performance Engineering).

Hope this sheds some light and while I'm here what's with the hate R31Nismoid??? Bit arrogant yes??? As stated many times before our pump is very different to the JUN / Greddy pump made by the same factory. Do we need to go over this again?

Thanks for sheding some light on the spline drive Andrew. I'm happy it's taking a while... means there is less chance of failure for my engine- I've been an advocate for a spline drive rb oil pump for years now and I'm glad an Aussie company is developing and testing one.

Don't worry about Nismoid... he dosn't hate you... he just hates everything :verymad: mr cranky pants. :woot: :woot: :woot:

As a side note, maybe have a look at registering as a trader on SAU (similar to Risking). Obviously it's a great way to reach a large part of your target market for this pump.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
