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.

    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
