Timing Belt

[jake33]

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. 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...

Could be anywhere from $500-900 (including cost of belt)

F A R K!!!! you serious? i thinking it would take like 2 hours labor, plus belt, like 200 or 250 or something....

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

Had my timing belt plus all other belts.. idler tensioner bearing etc...

Just gotta find a decent mechanic

[jake33]

im on 95k.. haha there not wrong when they say these cars should have timing belts water pump ect.. done at 100k.

cheers for the help

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.

[jake33]

yeah i know. i mean chances are it has, but chances are if hasnt.. haha id like to think the 2nd.

cheers fellas.
