Up for sale is my brand new Ross Metaljacket Balancer for R33 or R34 GT-R. It's rated up to 1500hp.

I bought it thinking I was going to run a full Ross Trigger Kit only to find I can't use their kit with an RB26/30 due to the sump adapter spacing the crank trigger mount away from the trigger wheel.

It's brand new in the box and never been on an engine.

Cheapest I have seen them is $650 delivered so I'll do it for $600 delivered Australia wide.

I'd also consider a swap for an ATI 1000HP balancer for R33 GTR.

Message/call me on- 0 . 4 . 1 . 7 . 5 . 8 . 1 . 5 . 0 . 3

Forgot to mention I also have the Ross belt guide that prevents the likelihood of throwing belts. It is used whereas the balancer is new.

The belt guide will be included in the price or available separately if it gets snapped up first.

Price drop!

$500 delivered for balancer alone.

$550 delivered for balancer and belt aligner.

Or swaps for ATI 1000hp balancer or oil accumulator or even a sneaky wristy may be considered.

Preference would definitely given be to an outsourced part. The outsourced parties would need to be approved by the committee firstly however through a display of the abilities of the outsourced party that are to be used for said payment method.

Hi I sent you a pm and email earlier but have had no reply so hope you see this message

The balancer you supplied has turned up at Spool as requested but it has sadly arrived badly damaged

It looks like the box you shipped it in was in no way suitable, as it is clearly been bent from being dropped or knocked I guess ?

I have added a few pictures for you to see. These are exactly as Spool sent them to me. You can see in them there's just a little bit of bubble wrap around it so suspect that's why

As I'm in the UK its a little hard to call you else I would

In the mean time can you pm me your address so I can ask Spool to send it back to you for a refund

Obviously its of no use to me like this and I rather not risk it on a high value engine build

I'm sure you would feel the same if the shoe was on the other foot

Cheers and hope to hear from you soon

Thanks for getting back to me

Yes sorry I found your reply in the wrong folder

So you're basically saying tuff - its not your problem and you don't feel in anyway accountable for its damage ?

Even though I purchased the part direct from you and you shipped it, it's still not your problem ?

Sorry chap but yes I purchased the part from you - not the mail service - so I feel it is down to you to sort out !

But what you are saying though as I read your email reply is go ask Spool to order a replacement part and they then foot the bill on their account !!

You are some piece of work mate, that just shows how honest you really are fa sure !

I advise anyone who wants to buy anything off this chap to think twice

And if anyone thinks I am making this up then I will happily post Shoota's reply to me

btw, It's not to shame him at all either, just get the facts out there so others don't come unstuck

Make of it what you will

"It's not to shame him" ok, is that why you posted your reply here as opposed to emailling back your reposnse?

Let me save you the trouble, here was my response-

Wow, that would take a HUGE hit to cause that much damage. I would be amazed that that happened inside the box to be honest as the box would be destroyed from that sort of impact. Did they send you a picture of the box to see what sort of damage it had? The balancer was packed tight into the box with the bubble wrap packed tight against the lid holding it down.

You’ve seen the photos of the balancer I posted when I sold it which were taken a few days before I posted the balancer up for sale. There were zero marks on the balancer then which you can see in the photos.

I’m sorry if you feel it’s my fault mate but I can’t accept responsibility for something that happened in transit.

The good news is however is that the plate that is damaged is easily replaced. The backing plate is what is removed when the trigger wheel is fitted to the back of the balancer.

I’ve spoken to Ross Balancers head office and they have them in stock. Tell Spool to request one (timing wheel) and they will send it with their next order.

I’m sure with how much they’re making from you they can absorb the cost. I would have little doubt Ross would give it to them if they were a good enough customer.

Hopefully that is crises averted!

Mate I haven’t ripped you off and I haven’t tried to mislead you so hopefully Spool are going to help out to make it all perfect.

Let me know how you go.

Ewan.

Spool will most likely have one of these lying around the workshop from a Ross balancer that they've fit a trigger wheel to, if they don't, Ross do.

In future, there is right and a wrong way of going about reaching a resolution. You have done it in the entirely wrong fashion.

Because of that I'm sorry to say that I will not help you any further than what I have already done. If you had emailled me back (not posted here) and tried to work through it as an adult as opposed to trying to make me out to be a shit bloke that I am not, then I'm sorry but you're on your own.

Cheers yes it might be ok but as its going on a high value engine build I rather not chance it now

Last thing I need is for that to fly apart at high rpm or shake the nose of the crank off

Not to worry as Spool are now kindly looking into the cost of a new part, only they are right out of parts normally given away

Go figure lol

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
