Hey guys, i changed the water pump and the timing belt on my car, and behind the harmonic balancer is the belt.. and a large washer with a notch for a pin to keep it aligned with the crank etc.. when i put the washer back on, it didn't seem to have the alignment pin go through it.. i was under the assumption the half moon shape pin would push through it when you tightened the balancer back up. Well upon starting the car again.. and revving it after a while, i have a loud rubbing noise( i believe the washer against the metal cover with the timing mark on it). How to do set this up with the notch? is there a second pin other than the half moon for the balancer and ive managed to loose it? Thanks guys.

there are 2 woodruff keys, one for the timing gear and one for the balancer. Assuming you didn't take the timing gear off and did put the one back under the balancer that is not your problem.

still need to pull everything apart again to see what is wrong though....

no i didn't take the timing gear off.. and yes.. i put the one for balancer back on.. though when i put the washer plate back on.. neither of the woodruff keys seemed to go through the washer plate to lock it so to speak.. i think it is just free spinning, and its rubbing on the metal cover shroud and making a hell of a noise.

Does the key from the timing gear come out far enough for the washer plate to lock onto? or does the balancer key meant to hold the plate?

Does it need to have the washer plate on? Does the curled lip around its circumference face the belt or away from the belt? I'm guessing away is the obvious.

So many questions, if only i had taken a reference picture before i got carried away changing things.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open

      R34 power steering

      Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.

      Skid pans in/around Sydney?

      By Kinks · Posted

      I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂

      Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy

      Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
