hi guys,

im getting the trust/greddy timing belt kit which includes the seals & bearings...has anyone changed their timing belt themselves on a gtr???

ive been contemplating whether i do this myself or not, ive changed timing belts & timing chains on my previous cars which was simple (make it top dead centre etc) but not sure if i should do this myself being a gtr - am i going to run into any problems if i do this? im assuming the crank bolt will be super tight - im also guessing the radiator etc needs to come out for accessibility.

ive got the workshop manual to check tolerances, torque wrench & other tools required.

i also had it tuned so im worried that the CAS might be out when i put this back on, can i just mark it with pen & put it back in position??? will the new belt also change my cam timing??? last thing i want to do is destroy my tune after spending a good amount to get this right but if its as simple as swapping over the belt & putting the CAS back in the same position im happy to give it a go :P

thanks guys,

the cas is easy, if its never been touched before, when you undo it you'll be able to see where the bolt was originally, otherwise just mark it with a permenant marker or white out if you're worried.

The crank bolt will be very very tight, but you will also need a harmonic balancer puller because its pressed on, other than that everything pretty straight foward if you're good with turning spanners. If it was me, i would also replace the water pump while everything is undone.

Just remember make sure everything is absolutely spot on with the belt, these arent a free running engine, the valves and pistons WILL HIT if it jumps too many teeth.

Goodluck

im still not sure if i do this myself - anyone here done this themselves? i do need to make a harmonic balance puller

hi marko just get the thingy and turn that over, move the whatsy to the left, fill the jibbtipop with the best you can find,don't for get to take a break buy the best meat pie you can get have a vb for strengh and a power nap then get to it again with a long look a phone call and a scratch of the head then put it together again and give us a call when the tow truck comes to pick it up.....................take it to Mr it will be all right and tell him to set it up the same as he took it off or if your worried take it to Mr personality.

    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
