Hey guys looking at getting my timing belt changed gunna get a Nissan kit with waterpump idlers all that and just wondering if anyone can recommend a mechanic / workshop to do the work, Cheap / Reasonable. Been told its about a two hour job for a workshop? that sound right?

At very low revs pretty much 800 to 1100RPM motor sounds a little noisy kinf of a feint knock around the front, pretty sure it hasn't had a belt done and its at 130000ks so assuming its this, don't think its a lifter

Cheers Lee.

Hi Lee D I Y ,save your self some money,Learn more about your car,

Put few BEERS & BBQ on & i bet your place with have a Crowd lol.

I guess the Other Stagea Owners will give you any help you need as many have done this before,

& most love to tinker,

i could probably help you out

my mate has done a few now and he reckons that he is pretty good at it

with that kit tho, check that it will fit a neo because we have a slightly different water pump

just checked tho and they have told someone that it will fit

shipping doesn't seem too bad either, looks like about $250 all up which is very good (looking at about $500 locally)

Yes Lee it is pretty simple to do. Only special tools needed are a 24mm socket and a puller to get the HB off.

There is a VERY GOOD DIY by Sydney kid. I have used it to do mine and a few Sils.

Perhaps a barbie day and some of us could come around.

They are using NSK bearings too, dont think thats OEM should be cheaper than Nissan? think ill grab the kit off ebay "seems" to all be Genuine Nissan, probably do it next weekend with a mate if Aus post rocks up, looks a lot easier than doing the SR20 chain too :)

Funny i'm in love with the Stag, have a Heavily modded 180 in the garage pretty much built it nut and bolt had it a few years and probably driven it 4000ks rarely drive it, tempted to flick it and mod the Stag instead I must be getting old hahaha practicality with performance is more appealing these days.

Cheers for the offers and advise boys

Here she is anyway, stock as a rock, 130000ks. Planing some small mods 18s or 19s, Apexi power intake, 3" Front pipe and high flow cat, wouldn't mind an exhaust but love how quiet these things are want the 3" performance and economy with minimal noise, basic turbo or highflow only because the stocker is squeeling on boost. That's it for now see how things go.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
