I was looking at this kit - https://rossperformanceparts.com/product/nissan-rb26-r33-r34-gtr-metal-jacket-harmonic-damper/

But read a number of reports about issues with PS belts being thrown.

A friend of mine works at Ross (came over when Omega bought them out) and claims they fixed an inherent design issue with the wrong offset on the pulley grooves when they came onboard.

I'm wondering if anyone has bought and used one of these in recent times and can report back on how you've found it?

They're mint now. Killer product and customer service is better than ever. I'm using their gear on my new build too.

So you have experience with it, or you're just talking up all the shit people gave you for free?

I had two for the last ten years.

The early one still never through any belts, and the new one has the trigger wheel setup on it and it is all good too.

Great product, bit pricey for their trigger kit, but super well made.

So you have experience with it, or you're just talking up all the shit people gave you for free?

People actually using them need to pipe up as it all feels hit and miss. I am holding off buying new OE as long as i can in case these things become a proven setup

As per the original post. Interested in people who have recently bought, not bought one years ago.

Just to clarify.

so you'd buy a part that proven to be f**ked because they "probably should" have fixed the problem now?

No.

I've already decided to leave the stock one.

Given there's clearly been some discussion on this here, I didnt think it would hurt to continue the thread if there was new info at hand.

Have you considered chilling out a bit?

My Ross damper was purchased in the pre Omega technical days. We recently pulled the engine to fit a bigger sump and open up some clearances only to find the balancer has chewed up the nose of the crank. Car has only done two dyno sessions and one light shakedown. Bearings looked good fortunately but we have some work to do to clean up the front of the crank.

The guys at Omega have the balancer for inspection at the moment. Have to say so far they've taken it seriously and aren't doing any of the finger pointing you normally expect in this sort of situation. Sounds like there have been a number of significant design improvements since Omega took over as well.

Whether I'm game to put it back onto the engine will depend on what happens next.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
