Up for sale is my brand new Ross Metaljacket Balancer for R33 or R34 GT-R. It's rated up to 1500hp.

I bought it thinking I was going to run a full Ross Trigger Kit only to find I can't use their kit with an RB26/30 due to the sump adapter spacing the crank trigger mount away from the trigger wheel.

It's brand new in the box and never been on an engine.

Cheapest I have seen them is $650 delivered so I'll do it for $600 delivered Australia wide.

I'd also consider a swap for an ATI 1000HP balancer for R33 GTR.

Forgot to mention I also have the Ross belt guide that prevents the likelihood of throwing belts. It is used whereas the balancer is new.

The belt guide will be included in the price or available separately if it gets snapped up first.

Price drop!

$500 delivered for balancer alone.

$550 delivered for balancer and belt aligner.

Or swaps for ATI 1000hp balancer or oil accumulator or even a sneaky wristy may be considered.

Preference would definitely given be to an outsourced part. The outsourced parties would need to be approved by the committee firstly however through a display of the abilities of the outsourced party that are to be used for said payment method.

First in line (awaiting clarification) is Wyn, second in line is 90RNA.

I'll update the post as soon as I know.

Hi I sent you a pm and email earlier but have had no reply so hope you see this message

The balancer you supplied has turned up at Spool as requested but it has sadly arrived badly damaged

It looks like the box you shipped it in was in no way suitable, as it is clearly been bent from being dropped or knocked I guess ?

I have added a few pictures for you to see. These are exactly as Spool sent them to me. You can see in them there's just a little bit of bubble wrap around it so suspect that's why

As I'm in the UK its a little hard to call you else I would

In the mean time can you pm me your address so I can ask Spool to send it back to you for a refund

Obviously its of no use to me like this and I rather not risk it on a high value engine build

I'm sure you would feel the same if the shoe was on the other foot

Cheers and hope to hear from you soon

Thanks for getting back to me

Yes sorry I found your reply in the wrong folder

So you're basically saying tuff - its not your problem and you don't feel in anyway accountable for its damage ?

Even though I purchased the part direct from you and you shipped it, it's still not your problem ?

Sorry chap but yes I purchased the part from you - not the mail service - so I feel it is down to you to sort out !

But what you are saying though as I read your email reply is go ask Spool to order a replacement part and they then foot the bill on their account !!

You are some piece of work mate, that just shows how honest you really are fa sure !

I advise anyone who wants to buy anything off this chap to think twice

And if anyone thinks I am making this up then I will happily post Shoota's reply to me

btw, It's not to shame him at all either, just get the facts out there so others don't come unstuck

Make of it what you will

"It's not to shame him" ok, is that why you posted your reply here as opposed to emailling back your reposnse?

Let me save you the trouble, here was my response-

Wow, that would take a HUGE hit to cause that much damage. I would be amazed that that happened inside the box to be honest as the box would be destroyed from that sort of impact. Did they send you a picture of the box to see what sort of damage it had? The balancer was packed tight into the box with the bubble wrap packed tight against the lid holding it down.

You’ve seen the photos of the balancer I posted when I sold it which were taken a few days before I posted the balancer up for sale. There were zero marks on the balancer then which you can see in the photos.

I’m sorry if you feel it’s my fault mate but I can’t accept responsibility for something that happened in transit.

The good news is however is that the plate that is damaged is easily replaced. The backing plate is what is removed when the trigger wheel is fitted to the back of the balancer.

I’ve spoken to Ross Balancers head office and they have them in stock. Tell Spool to request one (timing wheel) and they will send it with their next order.

I’m sure with how much they’re making from you they can absorb the cost. I would have little doubt Ross would give it to them if they were a good enough customer.

Hopefully that is crises averted!

Mate I haven’t ripped you off and I haven’t tried to mislead you so hopefully Spool are going to help out to make it all perfect.

Let me know how you go.

Ewan.

Spool will most likely have one of these lying around the workshop from a Ross balancer that they've fit a trigger wheel to, if they don't, Ross do.

In future, there is right and a wrong way of going about reaching a resolution. You have done it in the entirely wrong fashion.

Because of that I'm sorry to say that I will not help you any further than what I have already done. If you had emailled me back (not posted here) and tried to work through it as an adult as opposed to trying to make me out to be a shit bloke that I am not, then I'm sorry but you're on your own.

Cheers yes it might be ok but as its going on a high value engine build I rather not chance it now

Last thing I need is for that to fly apart at high rpm or shake the nose of the crank off

Not to worry as Spool are now kindly looking into the cost of a new part, only they are right out of parts normally given away

Go figure lol

    • For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...
    • I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it. 
    • MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.
    • Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
