Hi all,

Purchased an RB26 ATI Super Damper 1000HP version (P/N 917753) to suit R33/34 GTR, however I am running it on my RB20. Quality was amazing however when fitting it it really looks strange. The pulleys and inertia weight sit very far forward leaving a large space behind the hub to the lower crank sprocket. Is this normal? There is no part number on the balancer whatsoever and there is no part number on any of the box or documentation that I received. The TDC markings do line up though and obviously the ID of the hub and keyways are correct as I installed it no worries.

Some pics to help explain (sorry for the bad quality)

Thanks

Well its made for rb26 not rb20, so yes normal in that regard. I believe ati say you need to shim the other pulleys to get the belt runners in alignment.

yes but RB20/26 use same lower timing cover. Water pump belt lines up as does alternator, other belts are not used.

Could you machine the back of it down? looks to be room to do it.

Machining it would put it out of alignment, also not machinging a brand new $1000 balancer lol.

It just seems weird having such a large gap between back of balancer and the timing cover. i know hundreds of people on here run these so thought maybe one person could at least verify for me.

are you positive the bolt is all the way home?

personally, i wouldnt be using that balancer. its not even close. spacing shit out can cause another world problems. if it doesnt sit in the same position as the stock balancer i would sell it and purchase a balancer thats meant for a rb20.

i have a 1000hp ati on my rb26, sits where it should all belts line up perfectly. @iruvyouskyrine sorry mate.

Bolt is all the way home 100%

while i agree it doesn't look close in the pics, after comparing to stock balancer it is fine but because they have a lip on the rear you just cant see it. Everything else lines up 100% correctly.

im not sure about rb20s but isnt there suppose to be a shim that goes in front of the timing belt?

also why did you choose the 33/34 pulley and not the 32 one?

i know it 32 balancer is different to 33 as the power steer pump is in a slightly different location (belt alignment wise).

No shim using PRP trigger kit

Because it was in stock and the 32 one wasn't

Not using power steering or aircon anyway so belt location on balancer doesn't matter

I was wondering if that was a prp trigger kit lol

I guess what I'm saying is the 32 and 33/34 balancers from ati have diff part numbers. Unless someone can correct me I guess it is because of the spacing of those accessories that the balancers are in fact different. Cant imagine it being much else?

Are you building the motor yourself? What has the work shop said?

What Brett said. It is just the ps/ac belt alignment and rib layouts which are null and void in my case.

Built motors are for suckers, stock all day. Don't let the nissan out.

Ordering new PRP rear belt guide/shim thing, putting that in and then just calling it a day, it should be fine i think it just looks strange.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
