Oil Pump Drive Clearance?

I was going to fit a locally sourced crank collar for my 30 build and it was something crazy like 9 thou clearance to the pump ring from memory. The JUN collar I got to replace it was only about 4 thou I believe.

What is yours measuring at?

My Nitto collar was so tight i struggled to get the tomie oil pump on, i had to take the crank back to the machine shop to get the oil pump collar machined down.

Dont blame the collar, blame the person fitting it for not machining the crank down enough....

Too tight can be as bad as too loose, the crank needs room to flex and walk.

Well my plan was to run some new gears be it reimax or some other local options most around the mid $400 mark in my standard pump and a collar but I'm just as worried about to tight as too loose and everyone seems to agree that Nissan may have left a large amount of clearance there cause of the flex from the i6 crank moving so much and pushing the gears into the pump housing. Ideally I would have liked to go a splined collar and gear set(2j style), but I have such limited info on the long term success of this solution for similar reasons.

Fwiw when I pulled of the standard pump on short drive nose clearance was .43mm so about .017 in old money. With hammering witnessed on both crank and gear.

So I guess the question I have is still what's factory clearance and is this what to aim for with new collar and gears or is this too loose? Limiter bashing is not really gonna be a problem as this motor is not really gonna be built for or treated like that.

In defence of my NZ made crank collars I don't buy the argument about excessive clearances. As someone in the link above said do what we do - Loctite the screws in the pump. If you are going for the big revs make sure everything is balanced and get a new harmonic balancer.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/

      Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks

      All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
