There are two types of RB26 crankshaft, let's call them "early" (R32 and R33) and "late" (R33 and R34). The RB20, RB25 and RB30 cranks are the same as the "early" RB26. So if you have an "early" RB26 oil pump then it will fit the RB20. If you have a "late" RB26 oil pump it won't fit, but you can buy an adaptor ring. Jun make them amongst others.

Hope that helps :D

When you say RB25, does that include the Neo?

Or would the neo be using the same crankshaft as the 'late' RB26's?

The pump is from a 95 R33 GTR vspec. what are the difference. too long, too small,

The pump is driven using flattened areas on the usually round crankshaft. Like this (there is a flat at the top but I can't draw it on this thing) (_)

The "late" RB26 cranks have bigger flats and a larger diameter crank (in that spot). So you can easily stick a donut on the "early" crank and then stick the "late" oil pump on the donut. The donut has small flats on the inside and large flats on the outside. Works perfectly. You can buy donuts separately, Jun make them amongst others.

Hope that helps :D

PS; I have not pulled a Neo so I don't know whether is has the late or early. But I have see nothing about it being different from the early RB25 cranks. Since the mod was race required, I suspect it was only GTR's that needed it.

hey SK- I have an early model Skyline Pump (Nose diameter and flat distances are the same) but the one concern I had was that ther wasn't enough overlap between the flats on the pump gear and the crank (RB30 crank). Have you ever seen these fail from this problem?

Also what is the nose diameter difference (and distance between the flats) between the early and late 26 cranks? I assume its a few millimeters at least?

    • @joshuaho96 Hmm considering the drama you've seen/experienced, have you looked into getting a built complete long motor shipped from Australia?  Considering the AUD is basically monopoly money when compared to the USD, at a glance this seems like a good option?
    • Bloody Skylines, they put you through the bloody wringer! Stick at it! Stunning drag strip BTW! Where is it? Can see part of the name on the slip and probably should just Google it!
    • I mean the other day I had to walk someone through diagnosing why their timing belt was walking off the cam gears. At least one of the issues was a bent tensioner stud. Local mechanics have found runout on the CAS mechanism causing weird failures. I'm also no saint here I've documented some of the things I've had to learn the hard way. Something I discovered recently is that my CA emissions catalytic converters weren't even welded correctly to align the downpipe to the main cat and they tossed the support bracket that goes from the transfer case to the downpipe to support everything there. I spend a lot of time chasing down these decidedly unsexy problems and the net effect is it feels like I never actually get to the original objective (flex fuel, VCAM, oil control, cooling, etc).
    • At times with how you make everything sound, all I imagine Americans doing when they see a gtr is standing there looking at it and bashing it with a gun like how a caveman would with a club and hoping it fixes itself 
    • I think this is just a product of how the US market works for this stuff. Shops are expensive and there's no real way of knowing what kind of results you're going to get, people don't really have the institutional knowledge. I have heard too much at this point to really put faith in anybody "full service" except maybe DSport and they aren't really a full service kind of shop. If you go to the right place I have no doubt they'll get it right for you. Some locals have set it up right but the cost really is nuts and even now they're still fighting issues. And you know I'm a crazy person who thinks things like twin scroll, relatively short low-mount cast headers, PCV recirc to intake, recirculating BOV, right-sized for ~400 whp, MAF load, validating all of that to a standard comparable to OEM test programs, etc are relevant. For what it's worth, multiple local owners at this point have been stuck in a perpetual cycle of blowing a motor -> getting someone to rebuild it -> some missed detail causes the bearings to wipe and spin just outside of break-in mileage or drop valves or some other catastrophe -> cycle repeats. I usually only find out about this because I'm perpetually helping random friends with diagnosing car troubles, Skyline or otherwise. The single turbo stuff if I'm honest is mostly secondary, it just doesn't seem to achieve the numbers in the ~2000-3000 rpm region that I would expect given the results I've seen here or in Motive's videos. I don't really know what we're missing here in the US to be causing this. Lots of people like to emphasize the necessity of finishing the project first and foremost, but I'm not made of money and I can't afford to be trashing a 15k+ USD engine build with any regularity. Or spending my relatively limited garage time these days unable to triangulate problems because too much was changed all at once. Also, even if it isn't a catastrophic failure I would consider spending the cost of single turbo conversion with nothing to show for it to be pretty bad.
