They won't make one for a RB25 you will need to get one for a RB26

Cant find a solid answer if the RB26 one fits or not.....

Surely they arent different, Same P/S, A/C and water pump (or near enough to)

Will see what they come back with, ATI will know if it fits or not, so if there getting in contact with them I'll have an answer soon

On another note. I emailed Titan motorsport about an ATI balancer for an RB25 and they said there is no such thing and werent interested at all in helping

Emailed another American performance parts shop and they are going to contact ATI or get a custom one made.... lol no idea how expensive that is or if its just like one of the others I've seen which is just a mix of a few different ATI balancers

atleast they emailed u back callan. i've emailed a few american companies regarding parts and not one single email back, f**kin useless

also arent rb25 a 3pk on the power steering where as the 26 has 4pk. also think the neo is 4pk.... also belt spacing maybe different

Callan - There are balancers that support a trigger wheel too (I think the Ross does). I'd be looking into something like that if you ever plan on making over 300rwkw. The CAS is junk and they never work well at high RPM with lots of power. Toyota shit on Nissan when it came to Crank angle sensing.

Regarding the car....

I've considered:

EVO 9 or 10

2001 Toyota Mark II iR-V Fortuna

Honda NSX with turbos

R32, R33, R34 GTR

Jeep Grand Cherokee (lol)

S13 with RB26

V35 or V36 Skyline with twin Turbos

Toyota Caldina (lol)

Toyota Chaser tourer

The Fortuna looks pretty cool, has a JZX110 in it. Under $20k too so plenty of room for mods.

Its f**king doing my head in though, because I've always wanted a 10 second GTR, and I'm definitely looking at the R33s.

It least with the fortuna I can take it to the drift track :)

Bit more shit done today, next days off will be painting the engine all black and Rocker Cover will be getting the crackle black treatment, colour theme is Black, silver and white... f**k the bright colours. Spent the day degreasing shit how fun.

White, silver and black are great for engine bays. The only thing better is swapping the silver for a brushed stainless/alumminium look

havent heard back about the ATI damper, I mentioned I'm from Australia and think that scared them off. But I'll shoot an email to ATI direct to see what they can tell me. Hopefully its as simple as changing a belt or two or changing one of the pulleys

Just looked up the Ross crank trigger kit, $2000....... I think I'll try my luck with the CAS first. The quick research of done, STATUS has suggested it is mainly due to the gates belts and the noise they often produce causing an oscillation at higher revs (not all cases) and its less common on RB25's then 26's and less common with Power FC's

See what ATI come back with anyway, At least I have the option if i end up going a Ross

Crank Trigger is not worth you spending that much money Cal, honestly if your car was a full blown race car where engine reliability is a must and engine is worth over $50K then yes. But street cars making 300-400rwkw then no. Our crank trigger setup on our R32 cost lots of dollars and it still has the standard CAS but has been modified by Mark to read in with the Vipec Crank angle sensor (don't ask me how it works its all classified info shit). It took a lot of setting up and went through 3 crank trigger sensors before we got it perfect because the have to be so close to the chopper wheel and if you have any flex in the sensor bracket then kiss that sensor goodbye.

If your CAS is playing up 1. Buy a new one, 2.Swap exhaust cam to R34 type and Run R34 CAS then are newer. 3. f**k the Power FC off get a new ecu and rewire the engine and throw all the standard loom away chances are if half rooted anyway's. These cars are over 15yrs old now and shit don't last forever, especially electrical sensors.

P.S buy a Ross Balancer if ATI f**k you around there are nothing wrong with them.

Ben is right, but if you are going down the RB30 road I would definitely go for a crank trigger. I've seen too much variance when tuning using a CAS, and even seen an engine fail because of this.

If you're using the standard RB25 or RB26 then the trigger is not really needed. I think the RB25\30 suffers because of the different length of the timing belt which causes flex. While tuning, a car was varying 500rpm back and forth on the ECU because of the CAS \ Timing belt whip and flex.

But at least if you do get the Ross balancer, the option is always there, even if you don't decide to use it. (Increases the resale value too)

Anyone else seen a really f*cking clean R34 in white with a wing? Sounds awesome and looks amazing, i can't remember if it has a CF diffuser and i don't know if it's a GT-ST or what.

Not Kingy's R34 GTR it's the cleanest R34 I've ever seen.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
