ok.

got a 33 and im about 4k away from a 100k service. so im going to buy a gates belt. sweet!

just curious about some figures about getting it done at a workshop? how much roughly??

i looked at the DIY thread and it seems a little much for me to tackle, plus i want to make sure its done right. :O just

looking at getting the belt installed, thats it.

cheers

It shouldn't cost to much... i just did mine myself and it wasn't hard at all... mines a Gates racing belt very nice...

looking at about $250 to $300 to fit (at $90/hr). about $120 to buy the belt. get them to look at your water pump to, if a bit iffy then get it replaced to. had mine done about 2 months ago. cost me $550 including fitting a fuel pump and dyno'ing the safc2. gates belts can be a bit noisey by the way

I wouldnt be too hung up about what your odometer says, there are 2 cetainties about all jap imports, they are from Japan and the speedo has been wound back. Unless you bought it in Japan yourself chances are its done well over 100k. I bought mine at 42k, with a non factory timing belt, go figure, Ive go no idea how many mine has done.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
