Lol, I have heard of a few rotor related screw up lately, must have new trained monkeys sending them out.

well the fact that my name was very poorly spelt was a good start Bodo Birkmann = Bode Bri chkman. just as close as the rotor sizing.

300C rotors do look impressive though, and so they should for the giant cruise liner that it is.

I need to do somthing about mine soon, I have seen the results of a failed balancer, its not pretty

Yah, was shown what a failed balancer can do...

When are harmonic balancers recomended anyways?

When old one wears out. I thought about getting Ross/ATI but was told not to bother for stock motor and ended up getting another stock balancer when mine worn out many moons ago.

Plus reading few stories about Ross balancer throwing ancillary belts 'cause it was out of alignment to stock ancillary pulleys.

I received one drilled rotor and one plain rotor a few weeks ago. That was an interesting phone call :)

Undoubtedly the work of actual monkeys

Sounds like its easier to start again.

Yep sure would be. I dare say that it may even work out cheaper if I bought when the market was low however I am a sentimental old fart. My car has been around since Tyler was a baby, saved my ass on a few occasions and tried to kill me at least once (HICAS is totally homogay). It's just sorta become part of the family and I'd feel like I was sending her to the pound because she has car aids.

Plus It's a good opportunity for Tyler to learn about cars, SAU's shortest engineer has to start somewhere...maybe even one day after I start feeling the pangs of old age I'll give the Ark to Tyler and go buy a 350Z or a 35 GTR.

Plus if I can get parts cheap/on sale/off the forums it may even work out cheaper.

How many kms have it done out of interest?

Decent to-do list here.

190,000. It's just about at the point where I have to pull the engine apart anyway.

Fair enough, the next piece of hassle saving advice is dont turbo the N/A engine. Bin it and buy a Turbo engine, less hassle and its the correct compression ratio.

Don't pull the engine apart. Slap a turbo on it, drive around til it blows then buy turbo motor or RB30. A mate is doing 25de neo + Trust T67-25g on his (work in progress).

what do you guys think about theses?

DBA-Brake-Rotor-Set-Rear-Slotted-DBA4908

worth it or not? they are for the rears only.

For street or track?

If track, don't bother as they are known to crack. Get RDA or something else.

Kinda both. I have also heard they are prone to cracking when on track duties. Kinda reaffirmed that RDA is the way to go.

or sell the ark and just buy one with everything you want already and save you even more hassles.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
