I have a 2000 stagea with Neo engine, bought with 50k on clock, now 75k, but i suspect it has done around 120k. Is there an easy way to determine whether the timing belt has been changed ?

-i have no TB change sticker

-drive belts are all aftermarket

-orange silicon on waterpump gaskets, is this factory ?

Also, is it possible to alter the factory digital odometer on Stageas/R34s ?

thanks

take off the timing belt cover and look at the markings on the belt. if it is anything but a nissan belt it has been changed.

you will find if it was changed in japan it is likely to be a gates belt

biggest tell tale sign is that the silver timing sticker is gone, they don't normally fall off. you can be pretty sure the cambelt has been replaced but how long ago is anyones guess. i bought 2 1990 r32 gts4's in april 99 and they both had over 100,000kms on the clock, both had kms marked on stickers, one had been changed at ~70,000 kms, speedo on 108,000 but I replaced the belt on this one at 120,000 kms - I think it may have been wound back also. car was in mint condition as most imports are. Safest thing is to replace the belts, check the tensioners if you are quite dubious of the kms.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
