Well I've come to the conclusion that ive been ripped off and lost my initial investment for the samples.

I'll try contact a few of the recommendations and see what they come back with.

Certainly does especially when you have to pay for a wedding in a few months.

I'm going to try make a few of the samples myself so the people who have contacted me can do some testing without more delays.

A Smallish update.

I've finally been able to speak to the original factory last week briefly and they have advised the parts are now *ready* to ship and provided a tracking number however This is coming into the 3rd week as to when they have said they shipped the items and the number nor delivery does not exist in the DHL System.

I've moved on from this factory and accepted the money is lost and if they ever arrive that this is a bonus. I've now been talking to another factory that came recommended highly and we are finalizing the sample order and pricing which I hope to have booked in today as they are back in full swing from their recent holiday period.

Stay Tuned.

Really liking these brackets, well done!

I hope it all works out for you, and the factory comes to the party.

I have also heard that on really high horsepower motors, you can get cambelt stretch(from the head lifting?)

This really is the best solution for rock solid timing.

Its not an RB26, but ive been running this kind of setup for a while now(RB30)

And apart from some early setup problems(mostly the 2.0mm clearance issues)

Its works a treat with a Motec m48, as we all know how crap the standard dizzy is(the gear gets backlash)

I saw evidence of timing wander on the dyno, the tuner thought it was quite comical +/-6deg

Im just running a steel bolt in one of the adj camwheel holes.

Motec 6 point trigger disk which is mounted on a machined hub and bolts through the balancer.

Both GT101's are mounted on 6mm alloy bar brackets.

300+rwkw and gets flogged regularly(RPM limit@7000)

Once again, best of luck.

Well. if you wish to do small quantity manufacturing we are capable of making them. Pricing won't be as cheap as your overseas quotes. But you will get quality parts made in Australia with quality materials, while if required we can also communicate and discuss on certain parts as manufacturing goes along. It will be ready with a much shorter time frame too.

I was hoping for a local company to reply at some stage. I would be curious to see your price and the options we have for the community?

PM me when you have a chance and I'll send through what I have.

Pro GTR Motorsport kit. Top quality

Thank you for your comment however the purpose of this thread is to provide a transparent and cheaper alternative that will work on any RB platform that people can access and modify the design openly produce anywhere in the world.

Ok guys I've had alot of PM's from people interested in buying a set once they go full swing so I've decided to compile a public list.

If you are interested in the second full batch post your interest and I'll add you to the list.

Currently the first batch has been delayed as the factory producing the first/sample batch has had no power since Sunday so they have not been able to ship my items but I was promised last night when I finally got them on the phone that they would ship today....

Cheers

Could u please add me to the list Cameron?

Yes im worried about the clearance issues also its like 1mm from wheel to belt. Oh well start her up and see how she goes

Ok first up awesome work Cameron, now sorry to jump in on your thread with a problem but i have a red top RB20 that has a dead CAS and ive bought 2 second hand ones neither of

them worked and nissan dont sell new ones anymore.

So my question is can i buy one of the above mentioned sensors and make a bracket setup some sort of trigger on the cam gear like the ones above and then take it to someone with

a dyno to get it tuned? or is it not quite that simple? ive got a haltech ecu and have access to maching equipment.

Or if you if you do continue with the cam gear sensor cameron i will happily buy one off you as i really couldn't be bothered pulling off the balancer, i just need to get the car going.

Thanks in advance

Darren

Hi Darren,

If you have access to machining hardware then follow this link to all the models and cad files I have been working with etc.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1pbvmqtxdyi72bi/AAAsvJpTGxfk-ACbAAJOb5JUa?dl=0

In the above link you will find many version of things in various formats that you are welcome to adjust and make your own - The point of this project is access to something many people cannot afford or not know where to start.

The Crank mount has been designed around the GTR balancer so some changes will need to be made to clearance the back of the balancer.

Since you have a Haltech already some wiring changes is all that is required and the trigger setup changed in the ECU. Generally no changes to the tune is required but always best to do a few runs and double check :)

Have Fun!

In other news the new factory have confirmed the designs sent them to the planning team to be processed into their shedule. The factory I have chosen for round 2 is DaLin Hongshend Machine Co, Ltd http://www.dlhshjx.cn/ - I have alot more faith now in this company as they have called me multiple times to give me updates on how the order is progressing this week. They've said for samples the lead time is normally 20 - 25 days so the wait is on again.

Cheers

News from the factory - Samples are under way and should be completed this week.

News from the old factory - They are now telling me they shipped a month ago however HK DHL never shipped and are trying to locate the first sample batch.

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
