So you've bought yourself a skyline (R33 GTS-T) and you've no idea how many kilometers its got on it, its genarally a good idea to change the timing belt as if it snaps worst case scenario new engine!!!

First off this job probably take 1.5 - 2 hours depending on your skill level (add another 2 hours if you are changing water pump cam and crank seals).

What you need:

Tools- socket set, 8 10 12 14 mm spanners, 27mm socket and breaker bar, palm sized mirror (mums will do) allen/hex keys, screw drivers, some sand paper and a razor blade (cleaning gasket surfaces), a lead light and a hammer.

Parts- I used genuine belt as aftermarket one I tried was noisy( tension was fine) crank seal has to be a genuine no aftermarket listing cam seals and waterpump I went aftermarket.

Timing belt- #13028 5L327

Crank seal- #13510 10Y10

Cam seals- #G00084 non gen

Be careful with the water pump as one of the bolt holes (10mm) on the top may not line up if its the wrong pump.

Coolant- whatever tickles your fancy (some might recommend gen stuff).

Lube- Vasoline, carby cleaner, GP grease.

Okay lets get started.

1. Start by listening around the timing belt area to how the engine sounds give it a few revs and take note of certain noises. Jack to car up onto stands so you can get to the under carrage. Remove splash gaurd to gain access to A/C belt tesioner (and coolant drain if changing waterpump its on the passenger side of the radiator large phillips).

2. Start by loosening the 4 10mm nuts that hold the fan to the waterpump pulley then loosen the alternator belt off (adjustment 12mm on drivers side off motor) then you can completely remove the fan (it may take some prying I tapped between it and the waterpump pulley turning it each time and it will come away).

hey all

not sure if i am posting in the right section, but i just need some advice.

i just got the timing belt and all the other anxillary belts changed. the belts are new, so the mechanic decided to tension the belts a little abit more.

my question is: is it ok to tension all the belts a bit more? would that cause any adverse effects?

and also after the timing belt has changed is there any 'rules of thumb' like you should drive it easy for the next 100km or can you just drive how you normally do?? i ask this because i know with clutches and brakes theres that "bedding" in stage. i was just wondering do i have do the same with the timing belt.

i'm just after some advice,

hopefully someone can help, cheers in advance

Kind regards,

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
