A friend is putting one on his 2530 at the moment.

What we have found is the hall sensor when fitted with the supplied bracket fouls on the teeth on the balancer so we had to space the sensor down. (not ideal)

The supplied power steer pump pulley wont fit on the pump shaft 1mm to tight and it wont line up with the belt, we have tried Rb30,26 and 25 brackets.

The 26 one lines up but the shaft on the pump is splined not smooth like the 25 one.

Calling Ross or whoever now runs the company today to see why we have these issues.

I can assure these things work, it was designed on our car by Unigroup Engineering and Ross. I will admit that we only run the bottom half as its a 26 in an S14 and the CAS Sensor Ross designed wont fit in our car as its simply too bulky

We had around 500rpm worth of incorreect singnals in the upper rpm range and this fixed it straight away. It works a charm with the Link G4 that we run in the car.

I got one on my car as Ross has sponsored it to me. I can back them up they work a treat car now runs and tunes much smoother. More accurate at the higher rpm rev ranges around 10000+rpm, the car is punching out approx. 1200HP no dramas at all. I am running dual triggers one on Crankshaft and Camshaft with a Vipec V88 ECU, so far so good, I have only used it for one drag meet so far which was Brisbane Jamboree. So I haven't had much time to properly test it. But I did notice a fair few GTR's at WTAC where running these setup's so they must be doing something right.

Wow, huge difference. Surely that would have to aid longevity to remove the torsional vibrations that would cause.

What is the whole kit worth? Anyone know if you can buy just the sensors and sensor wheel? As in upgrade an existing Ross balancer.

I got the balancer trigger wheel sensor and braket and convertor box to change the signal to Nissan for $2000, and didn't use the box as I changed the computer to one that reads directly off the sensor, I believe the balancer that has the trigger wheel is different to the normal/older style one, google trigger wheel rb26 there are heaps of different setups avalible, I'm currently looking for a 24-1 tooth wheel to replace the 36-2

Please write down ross's finding or yours. sound not so good by your review :(

Dont get me wrong, I know the system works. It just isnt fitting.

Ross have sent an adaptor for the power steering issue, should get here by the end of the week.

would this work with a haltech without the expensive 600$ blackbox? At this point, my car is well-moded.. I just want to make it run smoother/safer etc.

Indeed it will. If you have a Pro Plugin go with the 12 tooth crank wheel. No converter box required.

Yeah E11 will decode almost any trigger setup, as will the Platinum Sport range.

As the Pro Plugins are designed as a plug and play application, they were locked to the standard trigger on the designated vehicle unless you requested specific firmware from Haltech. 24+1 is now a user selectable option across almost all Pro Plugin ECU's where the trigger type is a popular modification for that vehicle.

Here's the option as found in the R34 GTT Pro Plugin setup screen....

Ross upgraded our balancer when they designed the kit so i believe it should be a simple upgrade. It was a current balancer and was yet to be fitted to the engine though so dont know if this changes things

I guess you would need to call Ross and ask if they are all able to be upgraded

I have a few graphs below taken off my own car.

Ross trigger kit. That's using the 34 - 2 timing wheel.

Piggaz, that really does show how reliable and rock solid it can be. It makes a big difference to timing values when your signals are a lot cleaner and makes it that much safer to make decent power ;)

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
