Ive got a 10/96 R33 GT-R S2 and ive decided to get the timing belt done, for piece of mind.

I've got the belt, and the tensioner (from Nissan), but they want 250 bucks for the idler, they mentioned a certain month/year breakpoint or so they said (mid 96 or there abouts)

Ive read all the tb threads i could find on here for the last week, and i found NSK numbers etc for tensioner + idler. BUT nowhere does it say suits all RB's regardless, or rb20 +25s only, etc.

Could some one who has had the tb done on there Series 2 GT-R please let me know if there is an NSK idler avail because the nissan one is just highway robbery. Is it the same as all RBs or do Nissan have me by the balls and will extort 250 bucks from me :D

There is a thread on part numbers from BSC. They are the cheapest place to buy them from. The Nissan ones are quite expensive from memory. Search for the thread and call BSC

So your saying RB26 from R32 to R34 uses the same idler as RB20s and RB25s? Is that correct? Ive seen the threads with the part numbers but the info given is for rb20 +25s.

I dont want to have the car dissasembled, go to change the pulley only to find it wont fit my car.

Does anyone know for sure they are all the same?

out of interest what did the belt and tensioner cost you from nissan, am thinking of doing my 32 gtr for peace of mind also....?

The tensioner cost me about $80 from memory, that was trade though. I didnt get the belt from Nissan, i bought an HKS belt when i bought my adjustable timing gears a little while back.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
