locating pin...are you refering to the half moon keyway? Thats hard to imagine. The keyway to shear in half and let the damper spin.

Can also get an ATI one for about $800-$900. They are rated pretty good from just about everyone. I believe we got ours from Wholesale Performance at Slacks Creek.

this was the only way we could get the balancer off.. was tryin to find the oil leak.. and well yer balancer wouldnt come off

we are not entirely sure how the balancer was on there as the key isnt broken.. however there appears to be a build up of something on the crank, luckily the crank isnt damaged its cleaned up nicely.. either way time to look for the oil leak and fix everything..

ATI seem to have the vote, but Ross is also popular. I'm wondering when the cost becomes justified though ie over 8000 rpm? They seem to all be underdriven, which I'm not keen on for a street car anyway. Rocket sells their underdriven 5R Racing brand balancers for only $250 or so but can't tell me how they compare to the ATI or Ross.

I'd like to hear from someone who has tried standard RB26 and then ATI balancers on an RB30 to see if it cures the 'harmonic' probs supposedly associated with the RB30. Michael?

Cheers

We had a std rb25 one on previously...But at that stage we kept the revs to 7k...I dont know exactly how bad the harmonic issue is at 7500, but we had just built a 10k+ 25/30, not interested in taking chances and we needed the extra revs, so the 1000hp ati damper went on as a safe guard. All the research done on them basically said that ATI know what they are doing and their information seemed to make logical sense, plus everyone i spoke to about them had said they are the best around. When the time comes for the annual pull down and rering of the engine, we will inspect everything closely...especially the oil pump and bearings.

ATI have two types. 1st is a 500hp rated ballancer that is bolt on and works good for street cars and the 2nd is a 1000hp ballancer which is bigger and it comes with it's own water pump pully... we have used both and i think the 1000hp ballancer is just great and it fits RB25 -RB26 - RB30 engines...

Thank you

just found this thread and after checking all over the net, ross balancers are supposed to be ANDRA specd to go quicker than 11 secs. so they must be good for decent power. I rang chris mills performance today and found out that they sell them for 230 bucks, but htey wont be released for another 6/8 weeks.

chriss mills sells ross balancers for 230???

i ended up ordering one from justjap

apprently tomei in japan have been testing these and ross have just released a new version of the balancer due to tomei reporting slight problems above 500kw and the new on has supposdly fixed all that..

get back to me on that chris mills performance price.. 230 sounds like utter crap :) or the old designed left overs!

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
