Whoretown - Now Interest Free

Lol, I have heard of a few rotor related screw up lately, must have new trained monkeys sending them out.

well the fact that my name was very poorly spelt was a good start Bodo Birkmann = Bode Bri chkman. just as close as the rotor sizing.

300C rotors do look impressive though, and so they should for the giant cruise liner that it is.

[boiracer]

I received one drilled rotor and one plain rotor a few weeks ago. That was an interesting phone call

GSL rallysport by chance? they said they've had a few mess ups in the dispatch lately.

I need to do somthing about mine soon, I have seen the results of a failed balancer, its not pretty

Yah, was shown what a failed balancer can do...

When are harmonic balancers recomended anyways?

When old one wears out. I thought about getting Ross/ATI but was told not to bother for stock motor and ended up getting another stock balancer when mine worn out many moons ago.

Plus reading few stories about Ross balancer throwing ancillary belts 'cause it was out of alignment to stock ancillary pulleys.

Undoubtedly the work of actual monkeys

Sounds like its easier to start again.

Yep sure would be. I dare say that it may even work out cheaper if I bought when the market was low however I am a sentimental old fart. My car has been around since Tyler was a baby, saved my ass on a few occasions and tried to kill me at least once (HICAS is totally homogay). It's just sorta become part of the family and I'd feel like I was sending her to the pound because she has car aids.

Plus It's a good opportunity for Tyler to learn about cars, SAU's shortest engineer has to start somewhere...maybe even one day after I start feeling the pangs of old age I'll give the Ark to Tyler and go buy a 350Z or a 35 GTR.

Plus if I can get parts cheap/on sale/off the forums it may even work out cheaper.

How many kms have it done out of interest?

Decent to-do list here.

190,000. It's just about at the point where I have to pull the engine apart anyway.

[Bunta]

didn't realise stock Nissan balancers were so cheap now. I might go that direction too, save a few hundred bucks.

[Ants]

what do you guys think about theses?

worth it or not? they are for the rears only.

Fair enough, the next piece of hassle saving advice is dont turbo the N/A engine. Bin it and buy a Turbo engine, less hassle and its the correct compression ratio.

Don't pull the engine apart. Slap a turbo on it, drive around til it blows then buy turbo motor or RB30. A mate is doing 25de neo + Trust T67-25g on his (work in progress).

For street or track?

If track, don't bother as they are known to crack. Get RDA or something else.

[Bunta]

Directly conflicting advice....awkward.

lol

[boiracer]

for the price Ive heard its not good enough, they do look cool though

my (^this) comment was actually in response to this^

Kinda both. I have also heard they are prone to cracking when on track duties. Kinda reaffirmed that RDA is the way to go.

or sell the ark and just buy one with everything you want already and save you even more hassles.

That's what 'quote' button is for.

Like a 12 sec STI.

That was my first suggestion but she stated reasons for not going that way.
