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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
