Its interesting they claim you dont need a crank collar with them. I wonder how they came to that conclusion? Im sure there a heaps of guys that have killed oil pumps due to high revs would disagree with them. Unless they have somehow moved to gears back to allow more engagement onto the crank, but I didnt think that was possible.

So a crank collar is not the same result as an rb26dett from an r34?

Without getting into a massive oil pump failure related issues thread.
The longer snout on a crank was still a bit of a band aid, the clearance to the drive was a bigger issue. This could be what they have focused on.

Well whoopdef**kindoo, Now go and find a reliable high horsepower rb pump for 80 bucks and the world will beat a path to your door.

My point is that 7.5x the price for a set of gears seems a little much. If you have ever approached a machinist about getting some parts CNC'd you would know $600 for a pair of gears is pretty hefty.

I appreciate that its their IP and they can charge whatever they want, but you did post it in a public forum in effort to spark opinionated discussion. Such is my opinion, try not to loose too much sleep over it.

As the "whoopdedoo suggests, My care (loss of sleep" factor is very low indeed, I am not promoting this product at all. As the thread title says, it looks promising given the results in other makes using this oil pump design, namely the yota J engines.

I would never ever trust billet gears.

After researching and buying a set of them (reimax) and seeing how much rediculous amount of clearance there was to the crank collar I onsold them and bought a Nitto collar and pump.

The spool gears are utter shit with poor design flaws.

Aren't the nitto pump gears a billet gear?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
