Howdy Shannon,

There are 3 components that need to be changed when you do the service ....the belt, idler and i cant remember the other one (my dad was an engine builder until a few months ago when he retired , he told me, but i forgot lol)

The parts are pretty damn cheap, the biggest cost is the labour time involved ... i have been quoted about $450 - $500 from some places , and atleast twice that from other places.. it all depends on where you go as some places charge an arm and a leg "because they can" , and in the process rip young people off with high performance imports... so just be careful.

Hope this helps

Rob

Thanks for the sympathy guys. Yeah it was the idler bearing bolt that snapped. You can see where the other half is still in the block. The timing belts fine - just feathered on the inside edge.

Get someone who know what they're doing - and make sure no apprentice works on ya car :)

    • 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?
