Says to change your timing belt every 100 000kms. I beleive all RBs are none interference engines so its not the end of the world if it snaps but still you probably wanna change it if you dunno how old it is.

not always the case! Some cars ask to be changed eariler 60,000km etc

Its just that its common knowledge in the used skyline scene that its 100,000km.

Umm... I thought that RB's _were_ interference engines. a quick google seems to agree, not that thats gospel. I wouldn't risk it.

I definately wouldnt risk it either but I thought they were non interference, from what I have been told.

I realise the value of mates stories is not so high but I did have a mate who lost an idler guide or pulley (cant remember which) while driving so the timing was gone and he didnt have any valve/piston contact. That was on an RB30 SOHC though so it might be different (head was shaved a fair bit though so standard RB30s must have heaps of clearance).

To the brainwashed Japanese owner, it means when nearing 100,000, its time for complete and utter panic that their car is old and done too many km's and is totally worthless and they have to go trade it on a new upgrade, get completely ripped off on their trade in as once it hits that magic 100,000 no Japanese in their right mind would want it.

God forbid spending any money on their current car, let alone opening the bonnet.

I've watched time and time again, Japanese mates trade their cars off at a pittance to dealers

That little sticker is why the japanese upgrade their cars, not because reg (shakken) is expensive.

agreed. while the literal translation says to change timing belt at 100,000kms what it says to any nihon-jin is "car will self destruct at +/- 10% of 100,000kms, dump car at auction now".

Mate senidng it to auction is too bloody たいへん and to most japanese they wouldnt have a bloody clue how to send it to Auction thus take it to a dealer and bend over and get shafted.

Ever watched a Japanese tie up a shoelace ?? Very interesting

What stopped me is that you said the sticker is on the roof! WTF? Should be on the top side of the cam belt cover (from factory, anyway).

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
