I can not put in words how f**king sick these would look on your 35 man!!!

does anyone know where the heck i can get some of these style clamps from today?

they are called "constant tension" , "preformed" or spring band clamps"

from my understanding, they are a factory-only style clamp, and are rarely sold aftermarket.

Tridon make them, as do a few other smaller brands.

need some 23 and 25mm ones TODAY, and have already tried the following:

sprints

repco

supercheap

universal fastners

motor traders

pirtek

enzed

CBC

any other suggestions?

Ive only ever heard that from you. Been running gates belt for over a year and never noticed any difference in noise.

-D

the only time you should really hear a timing belt is when its on too tight and it'll make a buzzing or humming sound.

Nah mate don't do anything for me .... plus I am a bit in love with my LMGT4 copies

Gotta admit, Nightcrawler .. when I saw your car I was dumbstruck by how hot it was - particularly the rims .. much love

[Nightcrawler]

Thanks Jenna It is exactly what I had in mind when I bought the car, so am very happy with it.

Colourful wheel nuts would suit

Just pulled a set of cams out of my spare RB25 head.

Here are some picks of my project so far

The Block

The R34 GTR Crank

The Head

[Weezy]

Whats it going in? sell me the head cheap so I can build a RB30DET for my drift car

I am building up a RB27 - RB25 Block with 26 Crank, Rods with over-sized Pistons, along with having Pon/Pro Cams and porting on the head. So the head isn't for sale, but you are welcome to buy the cam covers or swap for RB26 cam covers plus cash your way.

[Damo_R34]

i suspect thatll be a no go Wayne, Abe searched for ages to find that 25 head!

Indeed I did, found via Facebook, thanks to Dion for pointing it out for me, and I picked it up for a decent price too, $350.

I wouldn't put those on my car, fact is when i replace the hoses they go in the junk box

the only time you should really hear a timing belt is when its on too tight and it'll make a buzzing or humming sound.

the custom one on my 3lt is a dayco / gates generic one and its hummed from day dot. Its installed correctly as well (using two tensioners to get the correct spec) so it may be a luck of the draw.

FWIW i wouldnt use a trust / gates painted belt either as they have no stretch on the coating and go tight as the motor warms up.

Std nissan parts at all times, unless there's a reason (ie like dark mentioned with the water pump elongated hole bs)

[Carbon 34]

so abe do i get to take the valve covers to use for carbon fibre molds? you can have them back unscathed , timing covers too???? intake plenum ???

let me know if you want help porting and polishing the head, gasket matching the ports ? done a few in my day..lol

crack test with tracer dye... the head before doing anything to it

and gates belts rock, they used to make them down the road from me in USA, gates batteries(optima as well)
