GOD SO OVER THE DO THIS DO THAT AND THE CONSTANT DISAGREEMENT OVER RB30DET BETWEEN WORK SHOPS. Look i have fitted the nitto pump to this thing and fitted the collar now i have gone to fit the timing gear and found it pretrudes more because of the collar than the rb20 one next to it. secondly what is the safest revs that a fully ballanced stock ballancer can rev to that has been ballanced with the crank and flywheel.??? please no answers seem to come up about this use the hot word search????

yeah all the machining got done like it's meant to be but it's only sticking out like 2 to 3 mm if that would possibly sit inside of the timing gear grove but it's fully on no doubt about that i double checked it twice, and it's already in the engine torqued down with oil pump on and adapter plate on don't really want to go ripping all that off will upload pics asap. have done alot of research on this came up with nothing and all the others have been flush so like wtf?? did nitto make it too long i wonder???

FRIGGIN MACHINIST IS SHIT. Didn't grub screw it and didn't slide the collar on properly and now is coming off. f**k SAKE taking it back going to have a fit now that i have lost all those gaskets and tell them i want it redone as it wasn't done properly in the first place and f**king grub screwed this time and i'm not f**king paying for it!

Is the stock balancer brand new? I wouldn't be running a second hand one.. and I agree with 7k max.

As for the collar issue, that is the reason I searched around for a quality machinist that would weld the snout up and machine back to suit the gears, some people don't like that idea but it works for us.

How is it coming off? I could imagine he might not have machined the old pump drive back enough and it protrudes more than it should but unless your balancer is loose it shouldn't slide off.

The collar shouldnt be loose even without grubscrews. It is supposed to have a 0.002" - 0.003" interference fit. Collar is heated up and then tapped on with a drift soft enough not to damage it and then let it shrink on. Once done then you drill, tap and grubscrew it as a secondary lock.

The collar should butt hard upto the front face of the main journal and stop just before the recessed groove that leads to the snout with key way slots.

If your collar is loose, then either the crankshaft grinder stuffed up or the machine shop specified the wrong size when they mic'd up the ID of the collar.

balancer is original one and no the balancer isn't coming off the collar is i checked it when i put it on it was flush now it's not!

as below will highly indicate. living on the sunshine coast there is NO trustworthy machinists around here let alone most mechanics.

where abouts are u in oz ?

sunshine coast

agreed with the rest, no way a collar should move that easily once fitted. if you can find a decent shop welding the crank and machining it back is the best option

I don't think it's sliding off, looking at the photo's i think the radius on the crank is too big and the chamfer on the collar too small. I think they pressed it on and it wedged against the bottom of the raduis not letting it butt up against the shoulder where it should be.

IF they could get that collar off in good condition it could be modififed and refitted properly with grubscrews.

I think welding should be avoided because it puts stress into the metal and it will most likely require straightening of the balancer section of the crank.

yeah well instead of machining it to .002" or .003" he machined it to .008" to prevent having to use the grub screws and reckons it won't move, you can get it off but it will be a pain and what ever damages are caused this f**ker is paying for it period. never going to use sunshine coast machinists again. i agree with the don't weld it part seen it f**k up cranks before on 1hz and 1hdt landcruiser engines which i what i work on but this is un acceptable.

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
