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!

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
