Bomber Carnage on the Garage Floor Donating Members 3,994 Member For: 14y 7m 11d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 20/05/15 11:14 AM Share Posted 20/05/15 11:14 AM My stock balancer was still ok but...my tuner really dislikes them when making a bit of power. Mine does feel a little bit more responsive with the powerbond unit fitted too. Good work taking it on yourself.Quick tip for those trying to crack the bolt. I don't know which relay it was but Bionic the clever bugger used the starter to crack it with a long extension against the passenger side rail as he'd done another balancer in the morning and broke his power bar in the process - doh! I held the socket and extension in place the he jumped the starter from the fuse box a couple of times and it undid it for us - win! No starter out or lock the crank required. Sorry I didn't get this info to you beforehand as it would've saved you some punish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By pulling out the starter I was able to tighten the bolt no probs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It arrived today, top looking bit of kit and as a lot of others have said Brett is a top bloke to deal with.Going to fit them this weekend to see how well it all goes with the stock bushes as they'll be getting changed soon enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left in the freezer overnight and it pressed in fairly easily. Hardest part was getting the stock eye bush out. Hole saw + Map gas FTW.The rest was pretty simple. Bolt it all up, get the wheels on, and set the preload when it was on the floor.Since I've moved the header tank and ECU adjusting the front dampers is a breeze.Only issue is the front hangar does hang fairly low, might move it to the top hole if it causes problems. And its RSpec now.......... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitted the technico billet tail shaft coupling a while back and its held up so far, the washers they now supply with it seem to do the job.The only noticable change in NVH is you can hear when the gearbox loads/unloads any driveline slack when under 10-20km.Leveled out the ride height a bit. Raised the front coil overs and lowered the rear a bit by removing the helper leaf springs. Also cut the front caltrac bracket to give some more clearance.Then added some more black to the bay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a top bit of kit, quality tube and fin cooler with a 3" hot and cold side.Does the job really well and weighs a lot less than the PW stage 3.Side by sideWon't put up a comparison between the two as ambient temp was pretty different on test days. But its not a step back by any means. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
