Hi guys, I am considering buying the Ross Racing Trigger kit for my ecr33. The only thing that puts me off is these seem to get a bad wrap but most forum posts I can find are from almost 10 years ago. 

Has the quality improved? I like that I can reuse my nitto timing gear, don't need to modify my billet oil pump etc to fit this trigger kit. But if its no good, I will go another way - can anyone recommend something better?

 

Thank you.

Ross will have better warranty support being based in VIC. When i was in the same position, I had read about them throwing power steering belts under high load due to incorrect installation. I had my tuner run the car on the dyno for a few power runs after installation to ensure it was running as intended.

Ross Balancers seem fine now.

 

Consider speaking to ignite 5.0 for the trigger kit though.  They don't list the kits on the site but will supply them.

 

I run two RB's, one a Ross 36-2 and an Ati with custom trigger wheel 36-2, both with ignite 5.0 triggers. So much better than other kits around. No cutting oil pump housings, no issues with sync or fine tolerance clearances. Just bloody works and has done for over 3 years.  

 

With  36-2 and a good ecu too, once you have start sync, the cam trigger is no longer used.

I've got a Ross trigger kit (crank only) and have modified it to use a Bosch Motorsport reluctor instead of a hall sensor.

It's been fine with 36+1 to 8000rpm and hasn't thrown any belts.

I made my own cam trigger out of a dead CAS and one of these, pretty simple job and looks like a stock CAS. At the time I was going for a stock looking engine bay but the dry sump has kind of ruined that.

      Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.

      Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
