I was going to fit a locally sourced crank collar for my 30 build and it was something crazy like 9 thou clearance to the pump ring from memory. The JUN collar I got to replace it was only about 4 thou I believe.

What is yours measuring at?

My Nitto collar was so tight i struggled to get the tomie oil pump on, i had to take the crank back to the machine shop to get the oil pump collar machined down.

Dont blame the collar, blame the person fitting it for not machining the crank down enough....

Too tight can be as bad as too loose, the crank needs room to flex and walk.

Well my plan was to run some new gears be it reimax or some other local options most around the mid $400 mark in my standard pump and a collar but I'm just as worried about to tight as too loose and everyone seems to agree that Nissan may have left a large amount of clearance there cause of the flex from the i6 crank moving so much and pushing the gears into the pump housing. Ideally I would have liked to go a splined collar and gear set(2j style), but I have such limited info on the long term success of this solution for similar reasons.

Fwiw when I pulled of the standard pump on short drive nose clearance was .43mm so about .017 in old money. With hammering witnessed on both crank and gear.

So I guess the question I have is still what's factory clearance and is this what to aim for with new collar and gears or is this too loose? Limiter bashing is not really gonna be a problem as this motor is not really gonna be built for or treated like that.

In defence of my NZ made crank collars I don't buy the argument about excessive clearances. As someone in the link above said do what we do - Loctite the screws in the pump. If you are going for the big revs make sure everything is balanced and get a new harmonic balancer.

      They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...

      Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !

      I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
