No Idea but I hope not. Hopefully they have it perfect now !

(I have one)

Do you mean this ??

NITTO utilizes their precision CNC machined cast alloy outer housing and along with their already proven oil pump design NITTO has now released a new billet alloy backing plate allowing further stability to oil pressure and flow at high rpm levels by minimizing any possible flexing of the housing.

This was the email that was forwarded to me. What I had been told was that the housing and backing plate materials were changing.

Housings being finished off this week and assembly will start again next week. I have about 40 back orders to fill but will advise as we are getting through them. Not long now.

Tomei pumps still fail unfortunately.

I just got off the phone with Nitto. Guy I spoke too was super helpful.

They are still testing these new spline drive pumps. They rekon they are pretty happy with it now. But until they are 100% they wont release it, understandable...

No definite date for release, but a ball park was a few months.

Hi Guys. Still working on the spline drive for our pumps. Was hoping to have this finished well before now but we have made several spline contour, clearance and count changes during testing and development. The field testing for this product is a nightmare also with the main test vehicle being a high HP GTR with 2 step etc and each time we change design the engine needs to be removed to allow for pump removal then installed again, then testing, then more testing, then engine / pump removal for inspection, change to new inner gear, remove collar and install new collar and so on. You get the idea. Hoping we have a final revision for testing now but I would be lieing if I gave you a finish date.

As far as the housings go we have just finished casting a new housing that is very similar to the old one but is a new mould, new casting technique, new material, logo and some very slight gallery revisions. Only reason this was done was because we were having some supply issues with our current casting plant which does not fit well with our stocking promises. Pictures on our facebook page (Search Nitto Performance Engineering).

Hope this sheds some light and while I'm here what's with the hate R31Nismoid??? Bit arrogant yes??? As stated many times before our pump is very different to the JUN / Greddy pump made by the same factory. Do we need to go over this again?

Thanks for sheding some light on the spline drive Andrew. I'm happy it's taking a while... means there is less chance of failure for my engine- I've been an advocate for a spline drive rb oil pump for years now and I'm glad an Aussie company is developing and testing one.

Don't worry about Nismoid... he dosn't hate you... he just hates everything :verymad: mr cranky pants. :woot: :woot: :woot:

As a side note, maybe have a look at registering as a trader on SAU (similar to Risking). Obviously it's a great way to reach a large part of your target market for this pump.

      Can't put strut back

      All of your suspension bushes/bolts etc, should also only ever be tightened when the car is sitting with full weight too.   IE, jack it back up, shove a heap of stuff down so you can lower the wheels onto so the car is "on the ground" but you have room to get under it.   It's why when properly done, you should be able to remove the shock and spring, but the arms won't go to 100% droop. If you don't do the above, you'll destroy your bushes.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      These arrived today! Sadly I'm going to probably be smart and enjoy the car as is over the summer/sunny period and save the ~2 weeks downtime it'd take to swap the heads over and tune later in the year. Maybe. It's going to be pretty damn tempting seeing these bolt on funs just sitting in storage when they're ready to go. There's a non-zero chance I end up @The Bogan'ing it.
