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

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!

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.

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.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
