^ nice post mate i was scratching my head for ages wondering about the "12th year"
That makes sense...
LEGEND!

Hehe!!

No worries, all good!

I must thank HPI Magazine to help me understand how to work it out.

All this just to know what year the timing belt was replaced... They could have just wrote April, 2000... LOL!

:P

Yeah I thought it would have been 12/4 as in December 2004 @ 63k. But the engine has 100k on it now. So I needed to know if its been done. The waterpump and gasket look 40k old, not 100k old. So that makes sense.

But yeh, big thanks. Saves me ~350$ , don't have to do it for another 60k, now that I know. Timing belt won't be likely to instantaniously snap and blow up the engine anytime soon...

Yeah they say change it every 100,000 km's.

So since its was changed at 63,155 km's, you won't need to change it again till 163,155 km's.

Yeah your timing belt will be fine. But you can always check to see what brand they used...

I bought my car at 113,000 km's, 1990 model and had a Nismo Timing belt.

There was no date when it was changed or any stickers, so to be safe I just changed it to a Genuine Nissan Skyline R32 GTR Timing belt as you can be safe with that.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      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!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
