Well I've come to the conclusion that ive been ripped off and lost my initial investment for the samples.

I'll try contact a few of the recommendations and see what they come back with.

Certainly does especially when you have to pay for a wedding in a few months.

I'm going to try make a few of the samples myself so the people who have contacted me can do some testing without more delays.

A Smallish update.

I've finally been able to speak to the original factory last week briefly and they have advised the parts are now *ready* to ship and provided a tracking number however This is coming into the 3rd week as to when they have said they shipped the items and the number nor delivery does not exist in the DHL System.

I've moved on from this factory and accepted the money is lost and if they ever arrive that this is a bonus. I've now been talking to another factory that came recommended highly and we are finalizing the sample order and pricing which I hope to have booked in today as they are back in full swing from their recent holiday period.

Stay Tuned.

Really liking these brackets, well done!

I hope it all works out for you, and the factory comes to the party.

I have also heard that on really high horsepower motors, you can get cambelt stretch(from the head lifting?)

This really is the best solution for rock solid timing.

Its not an RB26, but ive been running this kind of setup for a while now(RB30)

And apart from some early setup problems(mostly the 2.0mm clearance issues)

Its works a treat with a Motec m48, as we all know how crap the standard dizzy is(the gear gets backlash)

I saw evidence of timing wander on the dyno, the tuner thought it was quite comical +/-6deg

Im just running a steel bolt in one of the adj camwheel holes.

Motec 6 point trigger disk which is mounted on a machined hub and bolts through the balancer.

Both GT101's are mounted on 6mm alloy bar brackets.

300+rwkw and gets flogged regularly(RPM limit@7000)

Once again, best of luck.

Well. if you wish to do small quantity manufacturing we are capable of making them. Pricing won't be as cheap as your overseas quotes. But you will get quality parts made in Australia with quality materials, while if required we can also communicate and discuss on certain parts as manufacturing goes along. It will be ready with a much shorter time frame too.

I was hoping for a local company to reply at some stage. I would be curious to see your price and the options we have for the community?

PM me when you have a chance and I'll send through what I have.

Pro GTR Motorsport kit. Top quality

Thank you for your comment however the purpose of this thread is to provide a transparent and cheaper alternative that will work on any RB platform that people can access and modify the design openly produce anywhere in the world.

Ok guys I've had alot of PM's from people interested in buying a set once they go full swing so I've decided to compile a public list.

If you are interested in the second full batch post your interest and I'll add you to the list.

Currently the first batch has been delayed as the factory producing the first/sample batch has had no power since Sunday so they have not been able to ship my items but I was promised last night when I finally got them on the phone that they would ship today....

Cheers

Could u please add me to the list Cameron?

Yes im worried about the clearance issues also its like 1mm from wheel to belt. Oh well start her up and see how she goes

Ok first up awesome work Cameron, now sorry to jump in on your thread with a problem but i have a red top RB20 that has a dead CAS and ive bought 2 second hand ones neither of

them worked and nissan dont sell new ones anymore.

So my question is can i buy one of the above mentioned sensors and make a bracket setup some sort of trigger on the cam gear like the ones above and then take it to someone with

a dyno to get it tuned? or is it not quite that simple? ive got a haltech ecu and have access to maching equipment.

Or if you if you do continue with the cam gear sensor cameron i will happily buy one off you as i really couldn't be bothered pulling off the balancer, i just need to get the car going.

Thanks in advance

Darren

Hi Darren,

If you have access to machining hardware then follow this link to all the models and cad files I have been working with etc.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1pbvmqtxdyi72bi/AAAsvJpTGxfk-ACbAAJOb5JUa?dl=0

In the above link you will find many version of things in various formats that you are welcome to adjust and make your own - The point of this project is access to something many people cannot afford or not know where to start.

The Crank mount has been designed around the GTR balancer so some changes will need to be made to clearance the back of the balancer.

Since you have a Haltech already some wiring changes is all that is required and the trigger setup changed in the ECU. Generally no changes to the tune is required but always best to do a few runs and double check :)

Have Fun!

In other news the new factory have confirmed the designs sent them to the planning team to be processed into their shedule. The factory I have chosen for round 2 is DaLin Hongshend Machine Co, Ltd http://www.dlhshjx.cn/ - I have alot more faith now in this company as they have called me multiple times to give me updates on how the order is progressing this week. They've said for samples the lead time is normally 20 - 25 days so the wait is on again.

Cheers

News from the factory - Samples are under way and should be completed this week.

News from the old factory - They are now telling me they shipped a month ago however HK DHL never shipped and are trying to locate the first sample batch.

    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
    • Hope the cans went down well at least 
    • 255 can't go wrong with the price.
    • When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
