Has anyone got any idea if a RB26 harmonic ballancer is better suited to use on my RB30det compared to using a RB20det ballancer.??

THe RB26 ballancer is a bit bigger and has more weight to it when comparing to the RB20 one.

What are peoples thoughts??

I would recommend a good aftermarket (ATI) rb26 balancer if you want the thing to have a chance of staying together at those revs, the heavier dampner will do a better job of getting rid of harmonics fromm teh crank which is one of the suspected causes of oil pump failure.

yah funny you should say this, i was speaking to the some jap guys on tuesday and i mentioned that i was looking for a rb25 balancer to run on cats car to allow me to run r34 r33 gtst pwr steer pump (more crank to rad clearance) but they advised me against it as it is known to increase engine harmonics and oil pump failures.... its seems to be quite a normal swap here.

ill weigh them when i get home, but i dont think there is much weight difference as such between the ati and a std rb damper.

I think its their internal construction with their rubber rings and whatnot that absorbs more vibration and over a larger spread of frequency and converts that to heat more efficiently then a std one. I think they can make them to suit your motor specifically if they had one to test. I believe they say they can tune them (harmonic/frequency wise) to suit your motor and rev range.

Saw a nice RB26 POWERBOND balancer thursday at a trade show, 25% underdriven and 4.118kg. They list both differrent RB26 balancers, one for 1991-93 and 1993-on.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
