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?

Give them guys a buzz see if they got it.

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.

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.

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)

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)

Shit yeah!

    • I refer you to this thread on PF, by someone who knows what he's doing. Paints a good picture of the humble AD09.
    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
