did my timing belt late last yr. not too hard in the car, but radiator needs to come out. just make sure you dont mark anything and clean surfaces well before putting it back together and your laughing.......mind you it took me the better part of 2 days and a fair bit of beer :)

its not hard. just time consuming. good lucks

So not true... the timing belt needs to be done just as often on a 26 :P

Yeah but with a GTr you get to do the timing belt every few years while the engine is out getting rebuilt so it is easier :P

  • Like 3

Get the stuff with speed pseudoephedrine in it, it actually works.

Yeah I felt a bit sh*t on friday but came good on the weekend. On one hand good, on the other hand a strayen day would be nice...

I will grab some of that shit this arvo. Strayen days are good. I should probably still be off work but meh.

That's a bit of a let off, for a very leading statement from Colin

That at least deserved a "That's what she said", if not a comment regarding the troubles one can have when having to pay rent whilst being short on funds.

Twas a little disappointing.

Wait I got one:

Not as sore as your sister's is

Martin delivers. Flaming axe to the gooch coming your way good Sir.

Cool cool cool.

Yeah def should head out to bnr. No one takes a skyline there these days anyway...

Callvote John drives all us northies to the German club, and we can chip in to buy his meal :thumbsup:

Charity fundraiser to buy John some sausage?

I could probably drive us there, as long as it's not raining.

Yeah you wouldn't have this problem if you had bought a gtr, the oil pump may have failed and the engine packed it in but hey you'd have a working timing belt.

I'll try help you out in changing it, never done one before so it might be an experience.

Ssshhh my GTR still works. I don't think it knows it's a GTR.

I must admit that My GTR since the rebuild has been the least problematic of the performance cars i have owned. The SYL80 was still more fun to fang around in though!

Whilst stealing a car from McFly, I found out the cute receptionist's name :thumbsup:

Cassie ;)

An excellent point, good sir!

Looking forward to it.

Probably because you drive it like a skirt. It thinks it's a micra.

Poor old 20 needs a timing belt rather urgently, so i'm trying to limit ks till it's done. Anyone want to help me change it? Then I need to fine my boost/induction leak, and check if my turbo is dying or not.

That's not my car is it? Well maybe not the dying turbo bit...

I was thinking of doing mine myself very soon too (no idea how long ago the current one was done), but CBF paying extra for a workshop to do it (money is tight), If you want help/gofer/looker i'd be there so i can get an idea of what to do.

The belt, bearings, seals, water pump, coolant and a new bolt is only about $800 supplied and fitted.

That include the oil pump seal? How much more does it cost if the oil pump itself needs to be replaced at the same time?

here is a small sample. When I see these pictures I ALMOST forget how much f**king greif it gave me.

I liked it lots more after i got rid of the bling wheels!

The guy I sold it to wanted the bling wheels, added a billion tonnes of sound gear and de tuned it to 245rwkw because it was 'too fast' :(

really?? where at? i will def send the next person i know that needs it done that direction. mine cost me 400 + in parts from Kudos in the first place. belt (gates), water pump, tensioner, pulley, cam and main seals. no oil pump seal.but if it dont leak dont touch it imo.

was quoted locally, between $1500 and $2000....lol. nooo ty. hence doing it myself. but for $800 i would have contemplated letting someone else do it.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
