i got this little sticker on the motor cover that says something about 100,000km, im guessing its something about the timing belt which needs to be done at 100,000km right?

anyway i got a pic here so if anyone can tell me what its trying to tell me, i'd be happy and that :rofl:

Correct... you may want to consider changing the belt around 90,000 KM mark and definately NOT over 100,000 KM mark, reason being, Jap cars have most of their speedos wound back. And the LAST thing you want snapping is your timin belt, if it does, your engine is "capoot."

Hmm Sir-D thats a wee bit suss. I use to own a 1989 nissan pulsar sss before owning my skyline and one day while driving from the gold coast to brisbane my timing belt snapped on the pulsar, the cars power died immediately and i had to pull over and call racq. The next day they replaced the timing belt and all was fine. Apparently the nissan pulsar had some sort of safety mechanism on it so if the timing belt did snap the valves or pistons (im not a mechanic) etc would retract and no damage would be done to the motor. My question is wouldnt skylines have the same safety technology?

By the way my skyline has traveled according to the clock 107,000K's and still im yet to have it serviced. My funds are low and i have been quoted between $800 to $1000 for the magor 100,000K service. :(

i dont think rb's have that safety mechanism but i could be wrong. i know for a fact that in celica's and camry's - same motor, a snapped timing belt doesnt cause any damage to the engine. jut replace and away you go.

I dont think there is a problem if you snap ur timing belt in an rb (besides the obvious) - i mean it doesnt damage the rb engines - cant remember why but its basically the straight set-up of the engine - im sure that v engine setups will definately damage if the timing belt snaps though.

being a straight config engine doesnt mean its not going to die if the belt snaps, my beemer was a straight 6 and it was stuffed when the belt snapped

Bro mine had that sticker to, but had another one stuck over the top of it saying that my timing was done @ 93.xxx km's...i ripped it off, and got it done again. And sure enough it was bullsh!t...get ur timing checked man...as far as im concerned theyre not legit.

RB's are not non compliance heads ... they

basically the "saftey" mechanism is the fact that a top Dead Centre the valves do not extend far enough to hit the piston - which is what causes the damage

RB's WILL bend valves if you timing belt snaps

that (sticker as said above) is for writing on with the KMs the car has done before its changed

so if you change it at 90,000 the first time, you should change before 190,000 next time

the 100000k service is considered by most workshops to be a full fluid bleed and change for your pwsteering. etc... along with changing your belts and water pump {hence the prices}. mention that you only want to do the belt and that should cut the price.. get the water pump changed if you can, coz u'll save on labour doin it with the belt.

dont risk the engine over a belt... engines cost more to fix

wen i had my VL commo i was driving doin about 70km/h and car just stopped, we pushed it into the servo station just further down, where i kept crankin it over and over, still wouldnt start, got it towed bak home and found the timing belt tensioner bolt snapped and the belt off the cam gear, after replacing everything, car started right up again, no problems at all, nice and smooth.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
