Hi,

I have bought myself an R33 gts-t with 86,000ks on the clock.

I was tol although its early it would be a good idea to change the timing belt and tentioner.

Is this generally recommended or should I wait for the 100,000?

My question is do people have a brand they recommend over another? (ie gates racing?)

I want to do the tentioner as well, can you buy these as a kit? if so where do i get them from and how much should i expect to pay?

What should i expect to pay to have one installed? (just so i dont get ripped off)

thanks SAU members!

ok I have some info here after ringing nissan and need some conformation:

I was told I MUST replace these things and these would be the prices... my questions are these resonable prices and do I have to replace all of these?

Timing Belt - $105 +GST

Timing Belt Tensioner - $118 +GST

Idler Pulley - $300 +GST

Cam seals - $21 each +GST

dos this sound reasonable and do I need to replace all these? I would like to go genuine but thats alot of money if these dayco or gates ones are good quality also

PS they quoted me $214 +GST for an oxygen sensor.. is this over the top and should i go an NGK for half the price or are they no where near as good?

thanks!

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
