I was dummy fitting my brackets up to my 30 block as I want to order an ati balancer to drive my dry sump pump. I stripped the RB30 down, i have a spare RB26 balancer on the crank off my r32. I installed a R32 RB20 det power steer pump with the lug on the bracket machined off to suit the rb30 and the power steer pulley and the standard rb30 water pump (unsure if i need to change the pulley on the water pump) are about 5mm off alignment. The rb26 balancer needs to go closer towards the motor (i.e machine it rather then install a spacer) What am i missing? I have done a search as well.

Water should be good but power steering normally needs to come forward. try and move the pump within the factory bracket as far forward as possible and check alignment with a straight edge.

You really should be using the ati balancer to check it all on incase there is some difference again.

Try a different water pump. Maybe a new one from nissan.

We discovered witht he RB26 ATI balancer on our 30's, that the RB20 power steering pump doesn't line up, water pump is fine but I think I'm going to have to source a 26 pump/bracket and run with that.

the problem is the larger hicas powersteering pumps with the larger v band belt, they sit differently to the non hicas pumps (r33+ hicas was electric)

if your using the 32 hicas pump then you will need the matching bracket and a balancer to suit... if you have an r33+ pump then you can use either the RB30 bracket or machine the lug off the origional and it will fit.

basically r32 stuff is the odd one out. R31 R33 R34 all have the same bracket basically and same alignment.

You mean the pump bracket & pump forward?

I looked at doing that last time, but it doesnt look like there is much left to do that....if you recall how much did you slot it by?

the last on i did was cats car a few weeks back, the rear most hole i slotted it all the way (make install easier) and the others i slotted about 5mm and milled the flat for the bolt head) i will take a pic in a minute.

i had the same problem on my rb26/30 in my r32gtr, in 2000km i snapped 2 p/s belts.

i will slot the p/s holes by 5mm as advised in this thread, i will then make sure they line up with a straight edge.

thanks URAS :blink:

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
