Hey all found out today my water pump needs changing so going to do timing belt, tensioners etc. I see there is someone selling a dayco kit are the belts good? Do they stack up well compared to the genuine item?

they do a full kit but i got sperate items it cost me about 50 $ more but i wanted a blue gates racing belt not dayco one

and yes good as genuine but not for sports racing eg drift? IMO or high boosts

If im going to buy a genuine nissan belt, are the following parts all I need to get my belt changed and water pump.

*Idler Bearing

*Tensioner Bearing

*Cam Seals

*Crank Seal

*Brand New Genuine Nissan Water Pump

genuine is about 750$ lol vs 350$ hope they enjoy the rip off

i've heard of other people getting cheap bearings from CBC, but they tried to charge me over $200 for the idler. so i went with the kit from Kudos.

That's a cheap friggin water pump too! bastard!

      Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
