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.

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.

First in line (awaiting clarification) is Wyn, second in line is 90RNA.

I'll update the post as soon as I know.

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

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
