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

[Nur33]

As far as i'm aware they should be the same.

[89CAL]

Sweet as. Ill find out soon anyway

[dysonest]

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

[89CAL]

I thought if anything the water pump pulley would be different. Ill look into it and see what the power steering pump is like on gtr's

[Nur33]

Why would the water pump be different all RB's have same water pump set-up the only thing that could be different maybe be power steering pump.

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

[Seano350GT]

^ S13 with RB26 or EVO X i have a couple of mates with Ralliarts and love them. They run low high 12s on the track only just quicker than my V35

I like your thinking Sean!

I also want to buy one of these to match my dads:

Evo IX for practicality and performance easy to tune/upgrade.... Evo X are good but are expensive when go wrong and no where near as good as the IX.

Nice i want an old school muscle car next.

[Seano350GT]

They are really quick cars, they are quiet too with a stock exhaust. Interior is awesome too, you may have seen a blue and white ralliarts getting around town.

[Nur33]

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.

[89CAL]

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

[17psi r33]

any one got some stock front r33 gts shocks laying around?

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)

[Seano350GT]

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.

Also if anyone is chasing RB30 blocks I have 2 of them a Turbo block and a N/A block both come with Crankshafts (No Pistons or Rods)
