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).

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
