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.

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
