Instead of modifying the RB25 one will the RB30 E one fit with the 25 pump, I would rather a straight swap over trying to modify the one on it, my problem is the 5 mm offset that is causing the power steering belt to come of at high RPM.

And I did search but only found that a RB30E bracket might fit.

Thanks, Mark

i just use the rb25 one i think. unmodified. just had to put spacers between the bracket and the block on two or the three mounting points. from memory this was only because the aircon pump bracket used to go between the block and the powersteer pump bracket on the rb25. so now that i dont run the aircon bracket on the 30 i needed to chuck about 30 mm of spacer in on two of the bolts.

*i think* lol.

cant remember exactly but i'm pretty sure the only different is the one bolt hole. i compared a 30e and 25 bracket when doing the conversion and thats the only difference i noticed. went from using the 25 bracket on the 25 to the 30e bracket on the 30det with no dramas, re used the old belt and its never come off.

Sadly the RB30 bracket will not accept the 25 pump and the top bolt hole also doesnt line up with the 25 head anyway, UNIGROUP are making a bracket up now so all is well.

Modified = good-Standard = bad

Thanks, Mark

On the rb26, the top bolt hole doesn't line up because on the 2.6 motor the top bolt is in the cylinder head, and on the 3.0 it's in the block. Pretty sure it's the same for the 2.5.

The RB30 bracket has all the mounting bosses at the same depth, but on the 2.6 the top hole has a thicker casting. I tried to use the rb30 bracket, but it sits the pump too far back.

Easy solution is to just hacksaw off the excess material from the 2.6 bracket, the cast iron is pretty soft and it's not difficult or time consuming to get a nice cut that sits everthing neatly and then you know you're belt lines up straight. I haven't had any problems with mine after 2000 kms.

My main problem apart from the top bolt which would need some fab work is the pump has different adjustment points, the 25 had a threaded rod where the 30 uses a slot in the bracket so I would need to swap from the 25 pump to a 30 pump, Its going to be much cheaper to fab up a plate and use the 25 bracket instead of replacing the whole set up.

use the 25 pump on the 25 bracket on he 30 block. and yer ur on the money, i went to use 30 bracket but the 25 pump wouldnt fit the 3 litre bracket so i used the 25 bracket and spaced it out im pretty sure.

A bracket was made to join the lower fixture points and the top fixing point on the bracket was milled out to allow it to move forward about 3mm so that the H/balencer and P/steering pump idlers line up.

She revs to 7.2k now without throwing the belt onto the under tray, WIN.

either use the 30 bracket or cut the excess off the top lug of the 25 bracket. easy

If youve got the 30 pump thats fine but if your using the 25 one you need to mod the bracket at the bottom with a plate and remove 5 mm from the rear of the top hole to allow the pump to move forward 5 mm.

The 26 pump/bracket is different again Im told.

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.

      Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
