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.

my (^this) comment was actually in response to this^ :)

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.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
