The Nismo reear vision cover looks amazing when on. Though i would paint the existing full rear vision mount black as the grey stands out heaps when you put the cover on. Sorry for the image quality, this is mine on:

Holy crap even better idea. I have some left over from doing my door cards. I know what im doing this weekend!

My thread is coming slowly. Gotta get around to making one. The box has clear on it now. Around 4 coats just to reduce stone chipping.

Gonna grab one of those nismo covers to next order. :)

hey Robbie - what is the last picture of in your last post ?

All the rest I have but bugger me if I can work that last one out mate

Im going to take a guess and think its a number plate bracket right?

Its the fire extinguisher bracket mentioned earlier that mounts at the front of the drivers seat.

Glad we all agree Nismo cover is the business :thumbsup:

So got the adaptors finished off

Wasn't happy with the way this guy was sticking, got some 3M transfer tape (very thin)

No damage except a tiny nick out of the fan shroud. Yet to find out what the cause was, but have since heard the Ross balancers are a common cause...yet to look into it further

That sucks!

Is it the Ross Metal Jacket Race, or the regular Metal Jacket?

I know that there is a new revision that only comes with under driven pulleys to avoid this problem. Maybe you have the old revision?

Fkn oath!

Running the one below. Just metal jacket. Looks like you're spot on Jeremy...

There is another one now listed below on the website, looks like I will have to get onto Ross and see what he can offer

NISSAN 306212 METAL JACKET HARMONIC BALANCER - RB26-R32 20%U/DRIVE P/STEER

Yea that's unfortunate.

You can also get a pulley kit like below which could solve the problem - this is a picture from Ross website.

But yes, I would talk to Ross to see what they recommend.

There is also another MJ revision 306202X2 which I'd say is version 2 of yours, which could save you having to go to an underdriven pulley?

Does the P/S pulley look different on this one compared to yours? Could be a better option than an ugly extra pulley?

    • You're not wrong, but more than a few times I've heard of people running into issues where their injector characterization isn't quite right and that approach works for that specific configuration but once they switch over to a new set they discover a whole bunch of stuff wasn't set up correctly. It's slightly more annoying to reverse engineer the OEM MAF transfer function but you already have the sensor wired up to the factory harness so keeping it around for a few weeks more while you figure out the tune is easy enough. I've seen GM also use a combination of both MAF + MAP in their ECUs before, MAF is for steady state and a calculation of the cylinder VE to correct the base VE table, then in transients it uses that calculated VE + raw MAP to determine cylinder filling somehow.
    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard
