Hello,

I had once bought a Ross Balancer kit from the company, i am sure many of you have heard of them as they are a local australian company, the kit came with two magnetic sensors. Now these sensors have 3 wires coming out of them but I have no idea where to stick them, as a person using a piggy back ecu there is one main confusion. Even if i plug it in the ecu wiring look should i connect it with the stock ecu or the after market?

Is there someone noted in Australia that does this on a daily basis? I am keen to learn. Omega technical factories the new owners have told me to look for someone by the name of checkered performance australia but i only find crazy results in google and facebook. Perhaps all people will also benefit from this knowledge, especially thos who cannot afford a tuner to do this. I was surprized the maker doesnt have a jedi technique on how to install the item they have on sale and I need to get in touch with someone.

I really bought it as i knew stock cam sensor is just retard as poised to die anyday, plus id love to rev past 10K, as my engine is full tomei internals and solid lifters on with 270 degree cams.post-66871-14016840030476_thumb.jpg

There is a lot of discussion on these things (Ross crank triggers) on these forums already. You could do some searching around on here and learn a lot.

Piggyback ECU setups are not going to be a pleasant thing to make work with a crank trigger system. And if you have a crank trigger (with a proper aftermarket ECU) it's generally wise to still have the cam angle sensor, or at least a modified version of it for your sync. So throwing away the Nissan CAS is not as simple as you might hope.

Checkered is not "Checkered" it is "Chequered Performance". Look for STATUS as a user on here. That's him.

Oh no guys, that was the look coz it had been with the garage guy for 2 years, he still has the car. Needs proper cleaning and need to make really organised brake lines. Not to mention these guys are arabs and they kept on doing their thing saying "its gonna look awsome just wait and see". They had it for a long while, i will definitely make improvements once i get it back.

Send Yavuz at Unigroup Engineering an email and ask him if he can give you some insight into what is going on. Whilst i am sure any reputable workshop would be able to help you, Yavuz worked with Ross Balancers to design this crank trigger so he will be able to tell you exactly what you need.

Nah boys thanks alot i just spoke to him over facebook really helpful guy i never met anyone this helpful. He figured i had the wrong parts under 5 minutes. Now next problem is will ross accept my returns and replacement or not? Never buy from a company during an acquisition. Worst mistake, or luck.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I would like more noise related info for my truly uneducated guess  Does it do it at idle or when revving, clutch engaged, and disengaged? Does it only do it when the car is moving? I've heard "similar" noises from a clutch pack that left the chat room, and CV joints that have chewed themselves out But as Matt said, how's the yokes, tailshaft and centre bearing going after their last little issue Fingers crossed it is something simple  Weird noises make me cringe

      R34 GTT idle problem

      One other question, is there a chance that changing the idle speed can lead you down a rabbit hole and is the reason the tuner didn't touch it? Reason I ask is because if that's the reason the tuner avoided it then I probably shouldn't be touching it lol.

      Pfft. As if I'd ever point a high pressure washer at my car.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The nature of my commute has changed. Way back then it was traffic lights all the way, for ~28km. It sucked. When they finally stitched the expressway together I could do a good 15+km of it at a steady 80-100 with no stopping. That alone has gotten me down to flat 10s. Prior to that it was mid-high 10s. I can't remember the delta that I saw when I got the idle down. It was only ~150 rpm, because the idle speed was never terrible, but for the delta in consumption to be noticeable it would have had to have been at least 0.2-0.3 L/100km - which is not to be sneezed at when it comes for absolute free. It's only about 50L per year, but that's ~$100. A few extra pizzas is always welcome. Note that I have a record of every tank of fuel that has ever gone through my car except for a handful put in by someone else, like my mechanic. I can show you the difference between stock RB20 and tuned RB20, stock RB5Neo and tuned, winter and summer fuel blends, winter and summer fuel blends when the ambient temperature is not appropriate for the blend, working O2 sensor, blown O2 sensor, boosting f**k out of it and frightened to boost it because it is pinging, and so on. OK, I probably can't do all that now with 100% clarity - but at the time when any of those things were in event, you could see it in the records. There's 25+ years of simple tank after tank records, so you have to look for landmarks to work out approximately how old any single record is. What's really important is the meta data and that lives in my head.
