They just showed it on exhibition. See attached file. Now they have to erase all previous threads they wrote it won't work.

They even copied grab screws recommended in Supertec's spline drive installation manual.?

Oval teeth profile is probably to avoid design copy comments ?

Nice! Good to see this finally come. Its been a long time. I remember Nitto saying that they saw issues with the crank/spline gear not being in the centre or something along with clearance issues. Hopefully they have worked those issues out.

Kinda sucks because I just bought a Tomei, and my whole bottom end is Nitto. Anyone know prices/release dates??

I'm no mechanical engineer, anyone care to weigh in on the differences between something like the Nitto spline drive vs Supertec?

Both solutions will work. Hope Nitto uses a proper steel for gears. Their flat ones break. Round shapes in the new Nitto splines are a hype to my point of view.

From what i know guys have been having good luck with Spool and supertec spline drives.. centering a pump over the crankshaft should be done on any crank driven oil pump for obviois reasons..

The Nitto design looks fine, fewer points of contact, but perhaps its to accommodate more flex and or clearance needed.

I have a Spool set in my engine now and its been working great thus far, i also have a set from Supertec, the Supertecs have a noticeable amount more clearance in the splines compaired to the Spools.

We cover kits for Tomei too. True spline drive. Engineered with the correct amount of clearance for flex/ crank harmonics.

The inability to change one's mind is a character defect. If Nitto have really found engineering solutions to the problems they outlined in the article above then that is a good thing.

If a politician changes his beliefs to the opposite, he is called a prostitute. How to comment this attached screenshot? ?

 

Are you reading something different to what I'm reading. At no point does it say "It can't be done". He says "It's difficult, for these reasons". He then goes on to say "We're trying something new", implying that they have a design that they think should work, "but we won't push it out until we're happy".

You'd think that English was no longer taught in schools the way that comprehension skills have fallen.

English is not my native language but I clearly read that a 2JZ way can't be implemented which they finally did. Changed a spline profile a bit just not to look too stupid.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
