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

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
