Replaced my harmonic crank pulley and belt ect along with the cam and crank seals. The old crank pulley is the same nissan standard with 3 markings. | | | like this.

I'm having trouble finding info on what the markings are to check against timing light. All I can find is R34 markings which has 7 markings.

Is there and Stagea neo triptronic info with the correct markings settings out there ?

Well I just checked my Stagea Service manual and it shows the same markings as in the DIY section at the top of this page

i.e. 7 marks from TDC to 30deg BTDC in 5 deg increments.

Does your new balancer have no markings? Would have been good to put some on with e.g. a protractor before you installed it.

If you have no idea of what the markings are hopefully you can assume one is TDC and then you can calculate what the others are from the circumference of the balancer.

It's has 3 markings same as the one replaced. Nissan supplied it from Japan in a nissan box against my chassis number

Markings are like | | |

OK well you can use the old one to measure if you know where TDC is.

Either use a protractor to find out what the other two are or measure the circumference and divide by 36 to get 10deg increments or by 72 to get 5deg increments.

Two more ideas - you could ask your question in the forced induction section

or you could email Nissan -apparently they do respond to questions.

They do reply and quickly.

When getting a "High powered exemption" for my son, a copy of what is on the web was knocked back by DMT. I emailed Nissan and got the info back on a Nissan letterhead.. Took two days and solved the problem.

Thanks KiwiRS4T, I emailed Nissan Japan and they sent me the above pictures, but apologised for the lack of translation.

If you are real worried, an extremely rough translation is;

Set timing to TDC

Idle car at 600rpm and check with a timing light and it should be set at 10deg +/- 2deg

I'm all sorted mate no worries, it's what I had worked out myself. I just couldn't find info to back my findings/ideas.

It was the bit where 1999 in brackets and 3 lines Japanese writing I was wondering about.

    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
