Hi i am about to do the timing belt and water pump. Pretty much a major service on the car. I have bought greddy pulley kit and was wondering whether to update the old harmonic balancer. Is the ross metal jacket balancer a worthy upgrade?

Use the search function or f**k off, you are wasting the resource that sau is

well I have used the search button Brett.. and have found mixed thoughts and no clear answers. . Also products do change and develop. If you have nothing nice or productive to contribute why act like some tough guy over the Internet? Please refrain from further discussion on this topic as you obviously know everything right? or do I need your permission before asking a question on this forum? Seriously dude..

He actually knows quite a lot haha. Really man I told you in your first thread just ask you question through google and type sau at the end.

If you're still struggling for a definitive answer ask here and give your reasons as to why.

I don't mind some of these threads as it broadens my mindset on modifications but some are asked over and over again and become frustrating to some members who answer these same questions over and over again.

Old threads are often the better ones. You have to remember, the people who owned these cars in 06' were a lot smarter and better off than you or I. Well that's the way I look at it.

I'm not going to argue with that but.. like I've said products develop the same harmonic balancer built by ross in 06 well I dare say might have improved in 2015 .. no?

A Ross or ATI Balancer are definitely better than the factory one. But the question is why would you need/want to replace the factory one if it is in good condition anyway?

Thanks.. as I'm replacing every other pulley there I thought I would do the same to the balancer. As it's a 25 year old car now it makes sense. .

If the rubber looks like it's starting to crack (they all have a certain amount of fine cracks) then definitely replace it. Gives you the option of going trigger kit down the track if you go with a Ross too.

      Kakimoto Exhaust - What Do I Have?

      By Duncan · Posted

      It really doesn't matter much who made it, unless if is obviously poorly routed or restrictive in a section; what matters is the nominal cross section. For most normal-medium power you go 3" from the cat back for a good combination of free flow and retaining ground clearance. Front and dump pipes are tricker to get in larger sizes and are the most common restriction

      Kakimoto Exhaust - What Do I Have?

      By Kip · Posted

      Been poking around on the new to me car. I've determined that I have a Kakimoto exhaust from at least the downpipe back (I haven't confirmed the downpipe yet). It has a catalytic converter. Other than the company branding on the exhaust tip, I can only find one other marking. Behind the cat and under the car is a plate that has the numbers "NF307FP" and "M11111". Unfortunately, the Kakimoto website is written in Japanese and my browser won't translate it. I found that Nengun sells the brand, but my exhaust doesn't look like their current offering. They do indicate that each pipe is custom made, but I assume that's more of an inventory control thing than some sort of special, vehicle specific tuning. Anyone have a guess about what I have here? I'm getting ready to throw some dollars at tuning this car, but want to make good decisions. No reason to throw out a perfectly good exhaust system, if this thing will equal a full custom build.

      C34 RSFour V Build in the US

      Congrats on the progress. That's got to feel good to get the build done/mostly done. Now that you're this deep into it, I'm curious if you'd do it again versus finding a 5MT from the get go?

      G.G.C. (Gibier German Cook) restaurant in Motomachi in Kobe: A tiny 2 floor restaurant that was founded in 1976. The original couple who owned/ran it retired and sold the business to a corporation who pretty much tried to keep it the same as it was.  Lots of lesser known (to me anyway) German beers available.  Venison with vegetables. The meat came from deer from Hokkaido. The chef told us that there's a whole industry around the use of all parts of the deer from the antlers to the hooves. Sure enough, directly accross the street from this restaurant is a shop that sells all manner of utensils, clothes and objet d'art all made from deer skin, bones and horns.... also owned by the same corporation. The venison was super tender 😋 Various decorations, a lot of which were quite old, no doubt from the original owners. A nice pilsner too which I'd never seen before.  It's well worth a visit but check the opening hours, they're closed on Wednesdays, only open 11:30am - 3pm on Mondays and Tuedays, 11:30am-3pm for lunch and 5pm-11:30pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and 11:30am-3pm and 5pm-9pm on Sundays. Last order is 30mins before close.
