ok. The keyway is just a small piece of metal like a half moon. It is removeable but not able to have its position changed. The harmonic balancer has a key hole in it so it can only go on the crankshaft the one way. I have another one here that I was unable to use that I will take a picture of and post on here shortly. Plus I will take a pic of that same washer that sits on the crankshaft coverint the timing belt pulley.

ok so I have had a setback and progress.... I managed to find someone local to get a balancer off. Got it back home and the mechanic said there are hairilne cracks in the rubber so not to use it....$50 down the drain... come with a powersteering pump though cause he threw that in so I might be able to sell that to get some money back. Went and bought a removal tool as I didnt want to use a bearing puller like most people do and destroy the rings and set to stripping down to get to it. Back to the store to get some longer bolts. M6 x 1.0 x 70mm are the best to use. Done some ringing around after pulling mine off and identifying that the bonding of the rubber between the timing ring and the main assembly has faid. $180 from a local nissan wrecker for a second hand part... not sure on whether this would be wise to get another 20 yr old part. New balancers priced from $480-580. Then I found a company in sydney that specialises in reconditioning balancers. They strip them down and rebuild them. Incl freight from bris to wagga wagga and back again it should only set me back approx $300, which is better on both sides as at least I know it will be a like new part but for alot less. Now just have to wait a week or so to get it back. well time to take a few things off around the engine bay, paint and refit.

nah it is the timing ring. the balancer is tight, just that ring seems to be seperating. looks like its just another part that has to be replaced... now I know why they say never buy a mechanics car.... they can dodgy alot of shit that seems to go a month after owning it.

So what seems to happen is after a few days of driving the ring seems to slide back on the shaft and start rubbing on the timing cover. To rectify this in the short term I just lever it back into the crankshaft pulley with a large screwdriver. Think that pic pretty much shows it.

okies ill go and try get one now

So on the r33 that I bought not to long ago a new fault has apeared. There is a ring that is fitted behing the harmonic balancer and this seems to work its way loose and rub on the timing belt cover. is this a common issue. is there something that wasnt put back on when it was taken off. What will I have to do to stop this from happening as when it starts making its noise it sounds like the engine is running with no oil in it.

shocks from all 4 corners?

How old are the coil overs? Got an instrument cluster out of s1?

I have a 1994 R33 and the rear window wiper wont stop unless I unplug it. Has anyone else encounted this and found a fix for it? I read on some other forums not relating to skylines about a park switch in the wiper motor but am unsure if this is the same as well,

Wrong spot but your intentions are good. Credit to you mate.
