Dear people,

I have conducted a search and found no info, so i need your oppinion.

I am currently building a meduim to high hp rb 30 /26.

I have assembled the bottom end and all good gear has been used .

BUT dam it i did not get the crank oil pump collar widend.

No one over here in WA does it any way.

I have just been informed that this was a crucial mistake and my N1 on the standard crank will not last 5 minutes , i tend to disagree.

Is it mainly in tired r32 rb26 engines that they let go ?

If this is the case what if i replace every , say x amount of km's.

Will this help or is it simply an hp issue.

Sometimes i wonder if some things i get told from tune shops are simply a "turnover factor " . Please enlighten me on this if you would not mind , are there any alternative measures i can take . some one mention a collar that can be bought or made .

Thanx

i brought a JUN crank collar about 200 bucks from greenline but i think these are grub screwed in so may be hard to fit if engine is together.That was for an R26 crank not sure about the R30 cranks

Thanks for that, can't see why cant locate as engine is on the bench , How has it been so far?

Are you using your Air con or going the full race path because i know of a company that can to good exturnal pumps.

Steve,

no air con , no factory fruit at all , just about drag specs.

External pumps , tell me more please.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
