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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that ne side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D

      Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.

      I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.

      Don't assume the AC relay signal from the ECU is +, some models including Stagea use an earth trigger.

      Hey good to see you on the forums! Haha Considering this cars past with electronic issues I am leaning towards it being a wiring fault somewhere in the engine bay. When testing the ac relay in the fuse box there was no earth trigger. I am probably going to try "bench test" the compressor by giving it direct ground and power to see if i can hear the ac clutch click otherwise I will be pretty sure I have a dead compressor. If it does work then I will be tracing some wiring it seems.
