I've got both shims in place.

It would fit if it didn't have the set screws in the back of the balancer, I assume they are to hold it together so therefore required.

The part no. is for a r32 gtr. (That's what I got, with a 33 crank, I don't think the snout of the crank is any different just the oil pump drive)

me no understand!

Thanks

Problem solved.

I rang Ross balancer and they told me this is one of the first balancer they did for a 26 and I will have to contersink the back plate and use countersunk screws.

Ross was very helpful and apologetic and offered a great deal on there current motorsport balancer as a change over.

Thanks

Seems pretty poor to me to buy a supposed quality bolt on part that does not fit then to be told by the manufacturer that you will be required to modify it yourself or we will sell you a new one that will actually fit for a good price. Did they send you a prototype mistakenly ? I would think that they should have sent you a new balancer in exchange for the one that doesnt fit at no cost to yourself. I would be a little weary of the ROSS balancers myself as I personally know of several people that have used them and had a lot of problems with them throwing belts etc. They have all gone to ATI balancers and the problem miracuously went away. ATI balancers for the win based on my experiance and in my personal opinion.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
