Hey all,

I have built an RB30DET and put it in my girlfriends S13; I was intending to use the factory tensioner and idler locations (with 2 tensioners and 150 tooth belt) but upon test cranking it tries to skip teeth (and tightening it further causes self clearance issues...).

I'm happy to pay the going rate for your services, just need a hole drilled and a thread tapped, sometime on the weekend if possible?

The engine IS in the car but I have removed the bumper/cooler/radiator support so it shouldn't be an issue, but at worst I have a hoist and can lift it off the mounts.

I would do it myself but the I do not have the equipment and It's probably not a good idea for a first time drill and tap to be done on something as critical as a timing belt tensioner :P.

Cheers,

PM me or Post for interest

Uhk cool, I saw them but wasnt sure since they're based in margate and I'm in Austins Ferry, I'll give them a call.

      Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together
