Timing belt


400HP

Recommended Posts

My timing belt (Nissan) was $98

BUT the labour was $220...god knows how many hours that was, or how much they charge per hour...maybe i got ripped?? :( who knows..

If u only have to buy the belt and can do it yourself...much cheaper!

Actually Shell, that sounds about right..

They do charge a bit to do it for some reason, but that is pretty much across the board.

You CAN do it yourself, but I am one of those people who prefer to get the important things done by a professional.

Sounds a pretty good price, considering they have to pull the front of the engine apart to get at the belt. All the belts need to come off, the timing cover, crank pully, fan, water pump, the CAS, and then it all needs to be put back. And they probably need to remove the radiator.

If anyone in W.A. needs their belt changed on a R33 GTS25T, or a R32 GTS-t for that matter, get in contact with either me or Troy and we'll put you onto a guy who can supply and fit a genuine Nissan belt for $250.

Cheers.

Is there anything else you can do (performance or maintenance wise) other than water pump, when you are going to get the timing belt done ?????

Yep. Adj. Cam Gears.

For My R32 because I can do both the inlet and exhaust i should pick up at least 15rwkw.

they range from $400-$600 A pair.

For the R33 Btw due to the vct you can only shove one on. Maybe 10rwkw?!?!

I am going to get the waterpump/cam belt done by some one.

its quite a big job and worth the $200.

I'm also getting Adj. Cam Gears done at the same time and am seriously looking in to fitting a set of cams at the same time.

Joel I was goint to do the water pump myself untill i pulled the top cam belt cover off and saw what was involved. is probably not that hard but dont like risking thinks like that. I think you need to be carefull when taking the harmonic balancer off, apparently some come off easy and some take forever, this is what tillbrook said.

    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
