Funny you mention that Duncan - Yes i have, given I have the on my car :rolleyes:

I also had the supplied brake lines inspected by 2 independant places who make ADR lines, both in agreeance of them being a risk. I have pics and all that will go into a review at a later date.

Topping that off two people I know have had the lines leak/split, your 1 person makes 3!

Not something you really want to occur at 200km/h, especially over a $100 part.

Ksport 330m are 2 bolt.

For those asking if this kit can go on their existing Ross Balancer, here's the answer straight from Ross who's standing next to me as I type this to make sure I get it right haha

The picture below is of a late model Ross balancer. There are 3 bolts on the outside circle area as you can see. This balancer can have the kit put on, no dramas. There is also a version where the same outside circle has 6 bolts, that one can also have it fitted.

If you don't have the bolts on the outside the kit can't be fitted and you need the late model balancer.

The outer bolts are where the trigger disc mounts too.

Hope that clears it up for everyone reading and future people searching

I'd be interested in a Ross balancer with a smaller drive on the AC compressor. Even on 38 degree days my aircon can crank the interior temp down to a good freezing temperature, yet at idle speeds its loading the motor up more than it needs to.

May as well add a couple of pics to show this 6 bolth one as well. Plus this version has 12 teeth which still was plenty to fix the RPM Scatter issue.

Note the bracket that holds the Sensor using the sump bolts. If you have a sump adaptor for an RB30, you'll need to have this milled by 10mm to suit. Ross can do it for you. At least I think they can - they unfort forgot to do mine even though I asked them to, but I'll let them off, was easy to do.

When using the crank timing sensor and bracket in a non rb26, ie something with a tin sump, you need to space the sensor bracket down from the sump approx 6-7mm.

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
