Bought this external oil pump kit to use in my 26/30 build, but my engine builder believes it will be overkill for my street driven application at the expense of my air conditioning, so I've decided to stick with an upgraded internal pump instead.

This kit allows you to ditch the notorious internal oil pump setup and take those failure prone components out of the equation. For those who don't have a spare 10k to dump on dry sump, this is the next best thing to insure your expensive engine build or high revving race engine that will see more action than mine.

Everything is in new/unused condition - I believe the previous owner had it test fitted to their engine before they decided to part out their project, so there are handling/tool marks on the parts, but they otherwise look great.

My kit includes:

- Ross Tuffbond Race Balancer (306510, rated to 1000hp), with 20% and 7% underdrive pulleys (protects your water and P/S pumps at high RPM), gilmer belt drive and belt guard washer

- Moroso Single Stage External Pump w/ gilmer drive

- Bracket for pump mounting (replaces your air con compressor)

- Gilmer belt

- Hoses/lines with AN fittings

What you see is what you get. Only thing I don't have is bolts for the bracket. You'll also need to tap your sump to run a line to the pump.

From my googling, the balancer is RB30 fitment - you MAY be able to use this on an RB26, but please do your own research - I'm unfamiliar with crank/ancillary similarities. Likewise, I believe the AC bracket is designed for an RB30 - I don't know if the AC mounts differ on RB26.

How it will look setup (different parts but much the same deal)

To buy a similar kit brand new, you're looking at around 3k from Ross Performance:

I'm looking for $1800ono - same cost as a Tomei internal pump. I may be willing to separate the pump/bracket/belt/hoses as I can still use the balancer in my build.

Located western suburbs Melbourne. Happy to post at buyer's expense.

:cheers:

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
