Yo so i just pulled off the front of my cam gear cover to try and figure out what the damn noise was and found this thing sitting on top.. it's doesn't look like i'll be able to re-use it.. does anyone know what it is/came off or a part number?

Also, do i have to remove the front of the waterpump to get the cam gear cover all the way off? (rb26)

thx..

absolutely no idea what that was, and I put one of these together last weekend so it should ring a bell if it belonged there!

either way you are lucky it didn't kill the timing belt, and your engine.

Fan and water pump pulley off to get the timing cover off....

but thats the thing.....there's no rings in there.

there is a rubber seal for the CAS to the timing cover

there are 2 plates at the crank, one either side of the crank timing gear (but both are much smaller centre than that)

this is everything that *should* be in there

Hmm your right, definitely not in that picture.. it's pretty manky but i can make out JAPAN and 6LB printed on it.. theres some other numbers but i cant make em out the things pretty shredded, it's a metal ring with a rubber cover on it (or plastic)

It's about an inch and a half across, will check if a bearing cover is missing from the timing belt tensioners/idlers though.. the alternator is giving me grief, i'm guessing it hasn't been moved in at least 10 years

This is driving me nuts, i wanna see what it came off but i still haven't got the cover off.. one of the 10 mil nuts that connects the pulley to the water pump is jammed so tight it's impossible to pull off, cant get a grinder in their either, might have to try get an oxy and heat it up a bit or something.. probably gonna melt everything but cant see anything else working zz

Yeh i've pulled it out, i was expecting the nut to break as well.. taking a hell of alot of abuse, bought a big 10 mil ring for it yesterday and still not enough leverage, if i could get the clutch assembly part of the fan off then i could fit a ratchet in behind it and probably get enough leverage but i didn't want to pull apart more than i had to and i cant figure it out so might have to call a mech out to yank it off for me using some spec tools

is it metalic? its not meant to be there however.

could it be the front bearing cover off one of the timming belt tensioners/idlers? the lil bearing/dust cover for the actual idler itself.

Yep, Thats what it looks like.

Good call +2

try it with 2 ring spanners. lossen the other ones a bit, spray lots of WD around. then tighten the opposite one back up a touch and hold the spanner on it to keep the pulley still. have the pulley positioned so you can get maximum leverage on the one that's stuck. >_<

For SAU archiving purposes, and just cus i think its interesting the seal got spat out...

The serials on the tensioner bearing seal are...

2T52DF0716LB JAPAN NTN

EDIT: And rip the fan off, rad out, peice of pizz

EDIT#2: Snapped a pic of my old buggered one... cus im a nice guy *cough* :ermm:

sure is, would love to see a pic of the failure of the bearing. gtaaah have you got that fan pulley off yet? very good choice to not be driving it if its a bearing seal, you were really close to a dead engine

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
