Hi all,
I am about to buy a 1995 Nissan Skyline gtst. But i have found that the timing belt is noisy while being cold. The noise is coming from the top end and a mechanic said it was the belt so i hope he is right. But anyway after it is warm the car is fine. Has anyone else has this problem?
So I am thinking of replacing the belt, so has anyone attempted this? If so was the belt easy to get hold of? where? Is it an ez job or a little harder, is there anything special i should know.
My bro in law is a mechanic but never worked on a skyline.
Help would be great thanks.

You might not want to hear this but: DONT BUY IT.
Theres more skylines where that came from. Ones without problems like that. How many km's on the clock?
If all it needs is the belt replaced, get the dealer to do it before you sign anything and see if it really fixes the problem.

I saw these wheels in HPI mag i think (some mag) they looked a lot better in that photo.
I dont like the Drift R logo. A bit tryhard to ripoff the GTR logo in my opinion. Why not use some creativity and be original instead?
Thats a pretty lame criticism but it would put me off buying them so...
:zzz:

That 3some picture is awesome. You could do some really nice photos with those three cars in the same place at the same time.
More!

They just played it on SBS. Didn't think they were playing that one in Australia. Aparently they are!

looks a bit blurry at 1280x1024 on this LCD. You need a tripod. It would look awesome if it was sharp.

Was working on the car this weekend and cant believe i didnt spot this before I bought my car. Its a sticker on the top of the engine. Im assuming it details the date and mileage of when the cam belt was last changed.
It was half torn off but its still legible. It is in Japanese but the numbers read:
13 7 11
97442
I cant explain the 13,7,11 bit but the 97442 sure does seem to suggest my car has done well over the 72000 kms on the clock.
Any suggestions what the other numbers mean?

Fixed it today. Cost a grand total of $26 in parts from SuperCheap Autos. The "AEPRO universal replacement mast and rope" model number AP12 worked perfectly. Lucky too because it was the only place i could find replacement masts and it was one of the only models they stock.
Bargain!

Sounds like a good idea. What about the cable that runs from the antenna to the radio? Do I have to run a new cable as well, or does it unplug from the motorised antenna end and plug into the new antenna?
This looks like the best plan so far.

Hey guys,
Since i picked up my Skyline a week ago I have noticed a strange noise through a certain rev range. About 1800 - 2500 rpm. It generally happens only in 2nd and 4th gears.
The noise sounds a bit like a bearing noise, i first thought it might be a leak in the intake or something but it doesnt manifest itself in 3rd gear at all. It sounds like a hissing unlubed bearing type noise. Hardish to describe.
Once it hits boost the noise kind of vanishes with speed increase.
I was searching for something on the forums and the thread at this link might relate.
Would bearings in different gears make different noises? Should i take it back to the dealer and get them to replace the bearings?
Car is a 1993 5 speed manual Skyline R33 GTS25t.
Thanks!

"f***en whoops!!" How much did nissan charge for that?
I have got prices ranging from $95+labour to fit a new mast to $125+labour for a new(secondhand) unit.
I am going to try a repair job myself using a "universal replacement mast/rope" and pull the unit out myself. It looks like something i could handle and might learn something at the cost of $19 part from Supercheap.
If not, ill chalk it up to experience and wear the $100++ cost...
Thanks for the replies

How funny. I was down in Wollongong for the day as well to see some old friends and take the Skyline for a drive.
Drove around that area and checked out the cars. Saw a nice silver R34 and one white R33. Didnt see you tho.
Was in my dark grey R33.

Tim, my speedo stopped working last year. I removed the instrument cluster and took it down to a place in Brookvale. Northern Beaches Instruments ??? or Brookvale Instruments ???? something like that (not Northern Beaches Automotive, but may be the same street). They are near Bill Buckle in one of those side streets.
They fixed it no worries, it had a dry solder.
How much did they charge you for that if i may ask?

Took my R33 down for a nice drive down to Wollongong on the weekend and it did the same thing as you describe.
Stopped counting in between 71899 and 71900. I suspect this is a side effect of being wound back, which doesn't make me happy.
It started counting again after a little while and is working ok now. Might get it looked at still.

Hey guys,
My antenna is pretty stuffed, it wont go down as there is a very slight bend in a few of the segments. I tried to bend it straight but it came close to snapping off so I stopped.
Does anyone know of a replacement solution, will a replacement mast (ive seen these available at like Super Cheap) fit? would one of those "universal motorised antennas" fit?
Maybe a wrecker would sell me one, anyone know a likely candidate to have this part?
Thanks

Just wanted to share my experience with Famous.
Called them this morning and got a quote for a stock 1993 R33 GTS25t, 24 years old with 55% NCB in inner Sydney.
$2600 for 12 months. Best quote i've had, beat Just Cars by about $200.
Spoke to Robin, very helpful answering all my questions, sorted the whole thing out.
Edit: Also only 1 nominated driver, and i told them it was my daily driver + commuter. Damn good price.
Please Help.......... problem with my skyline

Sorry for dredging up slightly dead topics but my R33 has a broken exhaust manifold stud as well.
Did they give you a price on fixing it? Ive been told $1000. But i brush that off as them taking me for a sucker, they said they wanted to "do them all at the same time" which i took to mean "we want to take all your money at the same time".
Im a bit interested to know that this is a common skyline problem. Has anyone ever fixed this before?
