GOD SO OVER THE DO THIS DO THAT AND THE CONSTANT DISAGREEMENT OVER RB30DET BETWEEN WORK SHOPS. Look i have fitted the nitto pump to this thing and fitted the collar now i have gone to fit the timing gear and found it pretrudes more because of the collar than the rb20 one next to it. secondly what is the safest revs that a fully ballanced stock ballancer can rev to that has been ballanced with the crank and flywheel.??? please no answers seem to come up about this use the hot word search????

yeah all the machining got done like it's meant to be but it's only sticking out like 2 to 3 mm if that would possibly sit inside of the timing gear grove but it's fully on no doubt about that i double checked it twice, and it's already in the engine torqued down with oil pump on and adapter plate on don't really want to go ripping all that off will upload pics asap. have done alot of research on this came up with nothing and all the others have been flush so like wtf?? did nitto make it too long i wonder???

found the issue

FRIGGIN MACHINIST IS SHIT. Didn't grub screw it and didn't slide the collar on properly and now is coming off. f**k SAKE taking it back going to have a fit now that i have lost all those gaskets and tell them i want it redone as it wasn't done properly in the first place and f**king grub screwed this time and i'm not f**king paying for it!

Is the stock balancer brand new? I wouldn't be running a second hand one.. and I agree with 7k max.

As for the collar issue, that is the reason I searched around for a quality machinist that would weld the snout up and machine back to suit the gears, some people don't like that idea but it works for us.

How is it coming off? I could imagine he might not have machined the old pump drive back enough and it protrudes more than it should but unless your balancer is loose it shouldn't slide off.

The collar shouldnt be loose even without grubscrews. It is supposed to have a 0.002" - 0.003" interference fit. Collar is heated up and then tapped on with a drift soft enough not to damage it and then let it shrink on. Once done then you drill, tap and grubscrew it as a secondary lock.

The collar should butt hard upto the front face of the main journal and stop just before the recessed groove that leads to the snout with key way slots.

If your collar is loose, then either the crankshaft grinder stuffed up or the machine shop specified the wrong size when they mic'd up the ID of the collar.

balancer is original one and no the balancer isn't coming off the collar is i checked it when i put it on it was flush now it's not!

as below will highly indicate. living on the sunshine coast there is NO trustworthy machinists around here let alone most mechanics.

where abouts are u in oz ?

sunshine coast

agreed with the rest, no way a collar should move that easily once fitted. if you can find a decent shop welding the crank and machining it back is the best option

I don't think it's sliding off, looking at the photo's i think the radius on the crank is too big and the chamfer on the collar too small. I think they pressed it on and it wedged against the bottom of the raduis not letting it butt up against the shoulder where it should be.

IF they could get that collar off in good condition it could be modififed and refitted properly with grubscrews.

I think welding should be avoided because it puts stress into the metal and it will most likely require straightening of the balancer section of the crank.

yeah well instead of machining it to .002" or .003" he machined it to .008" to prevent having to use the grub screws and reckons it won't move, you can get it off but it will be a pain and what ever damages are caused this f**ker is paying for it period. never going to use sunshine coast machinists again. i agree with the don't weld it part seen it f**k up cranks before on 1hz and 1hdt landcruiser engines which i what i work on but this is un acceptable.

    • Be more active mate.. , not taking the piss ❤️, your long term health will love you for it I would think something like a kettle bell or 2 laying around in areas you go past during the day would be awesome for ADHD.... "Oh look, a kettlebell", and exercise helps your brain health as well My mates son was a bit of a problem child, diagnosed wirh ADHD, and some other things that had his brain occasionally doing loops, until we got him into a training program, the difference after he started training was amazing, he had more focus, and his fitness levels exploded, it is like he is a totally different kid to be around Brain chemistry something something Stay fit stay strong mate
    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
