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.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
