have a rb30det

due to a previouse person( who f**kup tapping a hole) i cant use the top tentioner location so i have to go the lower tentioner location

i got the belt that the guide says to use however the teath on it have a curved edges

instead of the standard trapazoidal shap(triangle with top cut off)

so the belt floats on the cam gears and lower sprocket..( eg not right)

have i got the wrong belt?

does anyone have the correct part number??

the belt i have is 1200mm long 150 teeth 8mm pitch

help please???

Im pretty sure its HTD profile you want.

I messed around with some ca20 twin cams a while ago and got my belts from econobelt

http://www.econobelt.com/Q460/RFQ/default....ge=tbelt/12.htm

they do a standard 20/30/50mm width for $23 usd, or they do custom width for a little more, i think i paid around $30 each. you need 25mm for RB

Im sure Gates australia could help you tho, try giving them a ring

MMM that looks positive fatz

chop chop boy

hope fully is exactually what we require

that's the same belt i have..

it fits, majorly tight to put on but it fits

i noticed the same thing with the teeth but so far the car has seen consistant revs to about 5500rpm while getting a running tune and it hasn't moved.

to get it on we needed 1 person holding the tensioner and belt and pushing in, the other person has a ratchet ready to screw it in

good luck

Glad to hear you got it sorted out.

I just thought I should mention to be very careful when trying to choose an equivalent timing belt of a different length for your car. I only say that as there are about 10+ different styles of curved tooth profiles for automotive timing belts out there. Unless it actually says HTD on the back of your belt it will not be easy (near impossible) to identify exactly which one you need. So as mentioned above if you're unsure then contact Gates or someone similar to find out what the standard belt tooth profile is.

If you did have a HTD belt don't just go to an industrial belt supplier and find an equivalent one either. The automotive belts are typically designed to cope with much higher temps.

What even better is that it's up and running and if fatz can NOT be drunk for 1 night he might actually come up to shit'sville(newcastle) and drive the thing home next weekend.

WOOHOO

and take all the associated junk with him. hehe

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
