Hi guys,

as we discussed in the thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/10...th-t203868.html , I've decided to change the timing belt (and few other bits) myself and I am going to use that as an excuse and host a BBQ :banana:

I am not sure on the date, we can pick up either Saturday the 9th or Sunday the 10th, lets discuss it. I am in Mosman Park.

If you know how to change the belt, or want to get your hands dirty, or got the tools, or, at least, how to operate a Weber bbq :angry:), or simply want to catch up - you are welcome to come. My son s 5.5 y.o, so if you want to come with your kids - thats fine, we'll let them go and do what they want:) I don't have a pool, but beach is few minutes away.

Ok, Stinky Rooster helped me with the following links :

http://www.skylinegts.co.uk/Cambelt.htm

Unfortunately, they are not for NEO engine, hope someone can help me and say if there are any differences.

Also, would be nice to know, what exactly needs to be changed, except timing belt (water pump, other belts ??), where to get them in Perth and what are the part numbers (Should I just check Stagea parts thread ?)

Lets discuss it here or PM me for the address/phone no.

PS and I don't have much tools....

I'm in! Sunday would be the easiest for me.

I also have a fairly decent tool box too (does anyone know where I can get my hands on some steroids so I can lift the bloody thing into Teh Pulsar Fury? :banana: )

I am also gonna put my hand up to bring the camera, funky bowler hat with press card in the brim, and a notepad so I can knock up a step by step guide specifically for Stagea's.

Looking forward to it.

Stinky Rooster,

I can provide a camera... or two :banana:)

Sunday is good for me too as my son will be here (little one at 5 wants his mom to get WRX or Supra and race my Stagea :angry:). the only one thing that concerns me is that majority of spare parts shops will be closed. Well, I know couple not far from me (O'Connor), they should be open on Sunday anyway..

i'd be in but im pretty busy next weekend myself.

Dont forget a harmonic balancer pulley, preferably a narrow one so u can get it in without removing the air con radiator, i bought one from super cheap auto and its TOO BIG to fit so see if u can lend one from someone thats narrow and wide enough to go around the balancer.

besides that its a super easy job to do. Ive done my rb26 in my stagea atleast 20 times (doing cam shims meant removing the timing belt everytime), if u need any advice while doing it then u can give me a call on my mobile, i think Dale will have it and if not give me a PM and ill send it to you. I live down Joondalup way, if i was closer i would call in and help.

Also dont forget to set the engine to TDC when u remove the old belt so then u only have to line up the 3 lines on the new belt and tension it up not TOO tight or it will whine alot, i have a slight bit of slack in mine and around a 10mm gap between the belts around the tensioner and the one around the idler pulley.

Guys,

is it possible for me to lend a suitable harmonic balancer pulley from someone in Perth please ?

How narrow does it need to be? I have one, but its pretty old (only used it on Holden's) so it may not fit. Hey Brad - can we unbolt the air con condensorr and move it out of the way without disconnecting it?

the radiator will have to come out no matter what its too tight otherwise. The air con condensor can possibly be moved enough to clear some room for the pulley as u mentioned Dale.

Just thinking about it some more and the stock balancer on my 26 has 2 threaded bolt holes so u can use a pulley on it, so if u use 2 bolts and the correct pulley it will be easy as, i have the pulley if its needed but im gonna be extremely busy this weekend on my own stagea so wont have time to come down, if u like i can take a photo of the pulley needed and its about $20 or so from super cheap auto.

I knew the radiator was gonna come out, so no surprises there

How else did you get the balancer off, if you didn't use the threaded holes? I thought that grabbing it with a jaw puller would stuff it?

If you could just measure the length of the centre bolt of your puller I will be able to figure out how much room i need and wether mine will fit. :blink:

i used a jaw puller on mine everytime on the stock one and no problems, never ever tried the pulley method, but its how its supposed to be done. I have an ati balancer now so no more threaded holes and only option is to use the jaw puller :rofl: I have the generic puller kit from ABW or something like that, usual supercheap stuff lol. Im sure u will have plenty of room with that unlike the jaw puller i was mentioning earlier.

In terms of parts for 100k service I was thinking about timing belt, water pump, water pump belt, aircon belt, power steering belt, oil filter, oil… Air filter done almost 20k, so probably needs to be changed too. Not sure about spark plugs.. Have I missed anything ? Coolant, for example ?

well he did ask the question !

hey dale.. just saw an interesting video on youtube.. there was this lady and goat- no wait..

basically it was a clever way of loosening a really tight wheelnut

this guy baiscally got a breaker bar and socket onto the nut - and under the end of the breaker bar

he puts the trolley jack under the end of the breaker bar and cranks away!

dunno why he didnt just jump on it

novel idea :P

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
