N1 oil/water pumps also.

you can drop the fuel reg, as stated before. No need for one

No, definitely not an N1 water pump. They are designed for continuously high rpm running in an RB26 (ie; circuit racing), exactly NOT what you want in an RB30 for road and drag use.

:) cheers :huh:

King bearings :)

Also, just curious what type of drive to the RB30 crankshafts have for the oil pump? Do they need to be collared along the same lines as the early RB26 cranks?

RB30 cranks have the same oil pump drive flanges as RB20's, RB25's and early RB26's.

:huh: cheers :)

Last person that I sent to Nizpro for a crank girdle was rejected. He said he no longer does them they where to much f'ing around, plus they where designed to suit a gtr sump the ones he makes so there is no point unless you are running a 4wd sump, which i guess you probably will be....

Standard rods over 320rwkw=bad. Rods are cheap now so its worth while doing. I have a rb30 with standard 25 head with rev rods and arias pistons putting out 550hp at the wheels on only 15psi, has done over 5 thousand k's, hasnt missed a beat. Another engine has the even cheaper eagle rods and has put out over 600hp at the wheels and has clocked a fair few miles and is fine. For the extra 1500 or so its worth the effort, and it will save you in the long run.

SK you have reved a rb30 to over 9 thats impressive, I am making a billet crank gidle for mine at the moment ad was only going to rev it to 8.5... I can see why Nizpro charge around 4g for the girdle there is massive amount of work involved in the project. the raw materials alone cost and arm and a leg. 70mm plate aluminium, cha ching!!!!!

:D cheers :blink:

thanks for the correction :(

always reliable gary

In the zoom write up on their RB26 rebuild they welded and machined the crank to fit the R33 pump surface the same as the R33 GTR crank. Would this be an idea?

Nope, welding a crank is not a good idea. The heat weakens the localised area and there is a heavy harmonic balancer hanging off that end of the crank. you could possibly do it and them do some heat treating, but the total cost would be excesive. Cheaper to buy a Jum adaptor collar, and they are expensive.

A usual, Zoom have left out a considerable amount of detail, maybe they want to protect some secrets. Which is OK, but it makes people think something is a simple job when it really isn't. Very dangerous practise and I wish they would issue warnings when they leave out important stuff like that.

With our race team machinist, I have been working on an adaptor collar so we can use the later/larger RB26 oil pump drives on the RB20/25/30 cranks. The first one gets a test run in my RB31DET next week. We then have 12 X RB30DET's to fit them to. They look pretty simple but the dimensions (internal and external) have to be very precise, the target price is $200 plus GST. If they work OK, I will set up a Group Buy on them, so watch the Group Buy section for more details.

Yep, the raw materials cost a bomb, and you end up with 80% of it as swarf. The one we made (never making another one, so don't ask) took weeks. I would like to do one and just machine the top 5-6 mm off the main bearings. That means it wouldn't need to be as thick and I could make it out of mild steel. I reckon it would be 99% as strong with 1/3 the effort. Plus I could incorporate the 4wd sump adaptor into it in one go for RB30's into GTR's. I will have to leave it as an idea for about 12 months, otherwise the machinist will kill me after the effort he put into the last one.

:D cheers :blink:

$200 for a locally produced crank collar? Isn't the JUN one the same price? Or does that include fitting?

That would be fitted Chris and the flanges machined, it's not really a backyard job.

Have you bought a Jun one lately?

:D cheers :blink:

Yes, and my ass still hurts from the experience.

May I be so bold as to ask how much and from whom?

For comparison, the last Jun one I bought (a few years ago and the pain is still there) was around $500, and that was on top of the $1600 for the Jun oil pump.

:D cheers :blink:

FWIW have gotten the JUN collars in from $200-$240, and fitting from $150-$250. Usual complaints of "OMG bro, it's a forged crank and it's going to take me months to grind it down! Do you know how much this is going to cost?....."

Pumps from $500 used to $1000 new. JUN + GREX brands, pretty much identical except for the anodizing on the oil relief.

For the RB nubies can someone explain the whole RB30/early 26 pump drama . I don't own an RB crank yet and can't work out if the flats on the nose of the crank are narrower or not as long across wise . Was the later fix a larger diametre nose with the same between the flats distance so longer flats ?

The adapter ring , is this shrunk into place and new flats ground or milled .

Cheers A .

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
