Hell everyone,

Couple months back I bought an r33. Mechanic who checked it out said the timing belt had been replaced at 100,000km's as indicated by a sticker in Japanese on the engine. However, Ive been recently told thats the sticker to say the belt NEEDS to be replaced at 100,000km's....

It's currently done 145,000km's and theres no sticker to indicate that the timing belt has been replaced.

Would it cost much to jst get it checked somehow? Im scared to drive it now cause I dont know whether Im jst skating on thin ice or the sticker somehow fell off...

Thanks in advance

You've got 2-3 kms left before meltdown. How far away is your mechanic?

Nah, I'd just get it changed anytime soon (and start your own log book).

Not knowing what the sticker says or if the sticker has fallen off, the stress and worry will take years off your life lol.

'Tis good you are vigilant tho'

Now that it's done 45000kms since the change (if it has been changed), the belt on inspection won't feel like new anyway.

And Nissan recommends a major service at 140000Kms as well (assuming that the odometer is correct).

Oh what sorta things get done at the 140000km servive?

Guess Ill jst change it soon.

^^^ Same as 40000Km service where the Manual (in English) says...

Engine Oil = R

Oil Filter = R

Drive Belts = I

Engine Coolant = R

Cooling System = I

Air Filter (paper type) = R

Fuel Lines = I

Fuel Filter = R

Oxygen Sensor = I

EVAP vapor lines = I

Brake & Clutch Fluid = I (for level & leaks)

Brake Fluid = R

Brake Booster Vacuum hoses, Connections & check valve = I

Power Steering Fluid & Lines = I

Brake, Clutch & Exhaust Systems = I

Transmission Gear Oil = I

Differential Gear Oil = I

LSD Gear Oil = R

Transfer Fluid = R

Steering Gear & Linkage, Axle & Suspension parts, Propeller shafts & Drive shafts = I

Ventilation Air Filter = R

Wheel Alignment = I

Brake Pads, Rotors & Components = I

Lock, Hinges & Bonnet Latch = L

Seat Belt Buckles, Retractors, Anchors & Adjuster = I

Foot brake, Parking brake & Clutch (for free play, stroke & operation) = I

I= Inspect

R = Replace

L= Lubricate

Hope this helps. DIY most of it of course.

Mine was very similar, sticker had been removed & the belt did look as if it had been changed-but who knows when.

Just to be safe than sorry I bought a new belts, tensioner pulleys, water pump & cam seals & changed them all over.

In the next change I will be doing the oil pump as well as a new water pump,belt & tensioners, crank seal, cam seals, new a/c- power steer-alternator etc & getting a power steering flush too.

Nissan have invasive valve setups on them so it pays to be a little paranoid as to where Timing Belts are concerned & make sure YOU know when they have been done. My advice is Change it anyway- its not a hard job-just takes a little time to do.

Get the engine manual from JPNZ for $150NZD which has a step-by-step instruction on how do to everything you will ever need to know & save yourself a fortune on mechanics costs

Sticker is a 100,000km reminder, if it doesn't have kilometres or some sort of date etched/scratched/written onto it (some japanese go by their imperial calender), then it's a good indicator the belt hasn't been done. Or the sticker could have been put on it when the belt was changed, when you buy a genuine Nissan timing belt, you get a silver sticker with it, to stick on somewhere and write the km/s done when it was changed.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
