There's 4 very good write ups with pictures on this site. Everything is in them.

Take your time and take mental pictures or physical ones of everything you haven't seen before or are unsure of as it will help when putting it back together.

have the correct tools handy. Get a balancer puller that uses the two m6 holes to pull it off.

Melbourne, Northcote area. I have had a look at the step buy step procedure, I guess i am just not 100% in lining up the timing belt marks.

You'll be fine :) it's so simple. Wind it over and watch the cam marks and that they align, then check the crank. Done.

Question, once I have aligned the the marks for inlet,exhaust and crank, i then remove the tensioner, once the tensioner is removed / released ,will the belt want to move the cams from the original set location because of the tension lost ? if so how is this avoided or rectified?

one other question, just to clarify, the harmonic balancer retaining bolt is L/H thread or R/H?

Balancer bolt is normal thread. Righty tighty lefty loosey. There are a few ways to undo it.

Cams won't move, they're locked.

I'd advise looking at all Diys we have on this website and getting a good idea on how to do it.

Maybe someone here who is close to you can come and help too

People tend to stuff up the tension, usually too much.

Definitely do camshaft seals, and crank seal.

Yep I did, I guess?.

The gates belt is a LOT stiffer than the genuine and dayco belt, so at the same tension of the original, the gates felt a little loose. I did it up a bit tighter and it whirres

Just a quick question fellas,

I changed the timing belt on my r33 s2 det last night, all went reasonably well.. This morning i took if for a drive and every thing seemed fine until I entered the freeway and opened it up a bit, as load and pressure built up above 4.5-5 rpm + It seemed to bet a significant loss of power, now I would also like to mention that I have upgraded the turbo due to the turbo spitting it self the other day, the up grade was from standard - to a Garrett T3/T4 Hybrid A/C CHRA Conversion. (Car not tuned yet)?

is it a possibility the crank angle sensor could be 1-2 mm off even though i make it? or is it just running very rich etc..

I know this is not the right topic , a link to the correct topic would help or some insight would be appreciated.

I don't know much about that turbo. But have been in a few skylines with upgraded highflows and bigger turbos without tunes and they are slow and shouldn't be driven hard until you get a tune.

Did you mark the cas before taking it off?

Should check your timing with a light anyway because no mark will get it back to spot on. A small movement on the CAS is big in degrees, you could be up to 10' out? And that makes a huge difference as well, even 5 is easily noticeable.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
