Hi all,

Just wanted to share my experience at Ross Balancers today.

I have needed a new harmonic balancer and external pump drive kit for my engine for about 2 months now as the old setup was causing a vibration.

Everyone I have called has been out of stock, so I went to Ross Balancers direct. Ross was very welcoming and was interested in solving my vibration problem.

He modified an RB26 Metal Jacket balancer to suit my RB25/30 which was great. He also modified the gear,drive and powersteering pulley (all Ross products) to suit the limited room I had with my thermo fan etc. All machining was done at no cost AND all done after knock off time on a Friday. Ross just wanted to make sure that it was all going to work properly.

He is really passionate about his work and it shows in his products.

Highly Recommended ;)

My Ross Metal Jacket Balancer arrived this week for my RB26, quality looks right up there from what I can see. Great looking machined parts.

I dealt with a very helpful lady named Inga who knew her stuff and had all the answers to my questions. $20 bucks posted to the other side of the country (I live in Perth) which wasn't bad either. Ended up costing me 100 large ones less than an equivilent (not really as this is rated to 1500hp vs 1000) ATI one.

Can't wait to get it fitted up and have piece of mind now when I drag her out to over 8 grand!

Highly recommend Ross Balancers so far.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
