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!

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.

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.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
