sk did one not so long ago with an adjustable exhaust camshaft pulley , made it look easy...

Adj Camshaft Pulley & New Cam Belt

Idler/tensioner cost me under $100

Timing belt was about $70

3xdrivebelts was just under $100

Didn't do waterpump, but I did coolant, oil, oil filter, fuel filter....

Adjustable cam gear can cost $150 new (near me), but I didn't get one in time. =-[

yeah, when I took my car for the 100 Mm major service to replace the timing belt I also had my water pump done because it's right at the front and saves having to take off all the belts and lift the thing out again. Also adds another nice new shiny part to the engine so that's nice in itself :-)

Wheres best to get these just nissan dealer parts department?

Ive decided to grab HKS cam gears,HKS timing belt,nismo oil filter, fuel filter and fuel pump from nengun along with some other goodies but dont know where to get idler/tensioner, drive belts and water pump

Seach for "Bearing Industries".. there was a thread around here not long ago that I got the number from. Idler and tensioner can be bought from them.

The belts came from AutoOne, with a mate's discount card, so it came in cheaper than normal. Timing belt came from Nissan.

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
