Hey guys,

I've been told that my timing belt for my rb25det S2 will probably be needed to be replaced during my next service. Just wondering whether it is worth it getting a good timing belt as a replacement or just an original one? also as to whether it is worth doing the tentioners at the same time, the sellers of these performance ones reckon so but they could be just trying to make a sale?. Example of the upgraded one are in the links below.

Yeah you might aswell do it all at the same time since if the tensioners let go so will you will you engine if you want to do something else while your there do the water pump to as if that goes later on youll have to take the belt off to change it.

and there is no need for a performance timing belt, they do nothing but waste your money!

you do realise the gates belts are almost exactly the same price as a genuine nissan belt?

having said that, if its a standard car just use a oem belt

ALWAYS do the tensioners and idlers

a standard one is 100000 kays so another standard one will do another 100000 kays

100% agree with you, definitely replace these. If you do not replace these and the bearing seizes this just rubs on the back of the belt generating massive heat which leads to belt failure. This can turn out to be engine failure. Obviously there are other belt failure modes that can occur but you get the idea. No one will warrant it in cases like this either, nor should they. They need to be changed as per the Nissan or Gates etc recommendations. I know Gates (possibly others too) are offering some timing kits which now include water pumps too but I don't know if there is one for the RB's?

I recently purchased and had installed the Kudos Motorsports 100,000km service kit for the RB25DET (link). Comes with everything you need to do the core 100,000km service. At the time I also did my coolant (plus all other fluids), thermostat and ancillary belts. You can also choose what timing belt you want.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
