Hey peoples!

Our timing belt went on the weekend! We have the new belt, were not sure if it has done any further damage? hopefully not ! Does anyone have any idea how to put it back on and in the right spots after its snapped? We have asked a few machanics in town and no one wants anything to do with our car??

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! its only just got back on the road after the yellow sticker and now this??!!! ahhh

anyway, anything would help.... its a R33 95 GTST

cheers !

Don't screw with it because it is a very important part of the engine! I got mine done at a workshop which will remain un-named, one different to where my performance mods are done, and for that reason I believe they didn't take the care they should have with it. Timing was way out when I got it back, and it made it hell.

Take it to somewhere that has dealt with your car/previous cars before & you can trust. If that doesn't apply, somewhere convenient for you.

DIY I say - I did mine, with a bit of common sense and a willingness to learn its pretty simple :P

Absolutely!!

I have done numerous RB timing belts and a few others. The Gates belts have lines on the. If you point the dowels on the cams up and set the bottom end to TDC then line up the belt marks with the punch marks.

Of course its VERY important not to turn the bottom end independent of the cams, otherwise the valves will hit the piston tops and bend, if that hasnt already happened. The way around this, remove the cams so the valves arent depressed, easy.

I lined up my cams to the marks on the timing cover, THEN turned the bottom end over 39849384 times to make it all line up with TDC, worked fine for me. I can only assume by this logic that keeping the cams on thier marks, keeps them totally clear of the pistons??

P.S. Yes, my engine is fine :laugh:

      Max horse power stock internals?

      G30-770. So long as you're talking engine horsepower, and not some bullshit wheel/axle/mystery horsepower.

      It's a lottery, no one is going to be able to predict how much HP YOUR engine is going to handle as history has a huge part to play.    As examples though. I have one rb26 on 630rwhp, running 16 years now at that level, track use, only a couple of times a year.  Another 790rwhp, about 2 years now, driven every weekend.    If i was to give you a "safe" number I would say 450rwhp on 98 and 550-600 on e85.  Seen plenty of motors pop with less though too

      Fair play on the 120k, sorry just live in nanny Aus.  High rpm on cruise would kill me too.    On the gears, its not just first, so beside the fact I really enjoy that nice punch you get when you accel in first. 2nd is all messed up in the gearsets too. Most people I know with gearsets(even sequentials) have to drop into 1st for tarmac rally slower corners as second gear is too low in rpm, its painful. Translate to the street, I am using a 2.3 gear out of a low speed turn, gearset you got a 1.7 second. I can tell you now between my two cars which one is a LOT more fun.    On a track its a different story, once the car is moving the gearset ratios are supreme, 1st gets you going on a big rpm launch, then 2nd is no issue for the corner speed on most tracks.    Yer the price sucks  , old enough to remember these selling for $1500usd here in Aus.

      Will mainly be steering the car as tracking it in China would reduce its value a lot and mines a near mint condition v spec 2. Just weighing out the options for the next improvement. Thanks

      Thanks for the info. With the 2.8L stroker kit what would be the best single turbo setup for around 700-750 drivable horsepower? As I think after that it’s going to be very aggressive power delivery.
