hey guys im looking for someone to change my timing belt on my rb25det as i could do it myself but im not confident enough. its in a vl commodore so their is alot more room than a skyline.

reason i dont want a workshop to change it is because they all charge an absolute fortune

how much can you do yourself? i could lend a hand but am pretty busy at the moment so not sure if i could do the entire job. if you can pull all the ancillary belts off, covers off, radiator out etc then i can probably help you with the rest.

as far as i no if u use a scraper to accuratly mark the cas position before taking it off, put it at TDC then take off belts, line new belt marks up with dots on the cam gears and crank gear, turn over twice by hand, make sure is all lines back up, then re install everything else, there isnt much need for a timing light,

in saying that, a super cheap auto timing light is very cheap, use it and take it back the next day, get refund.

this. i usually mark the cas and timing cover with a small flathead screwdriver. its not perfect but more than good enough.

supershit are handy for some things haha

best way to use a timing light on a twin cam RB is to unbolt no1 coilpack from the cradle and put a plug lead (if you have one laying around) between it and the plug then hook the timing light onto that. with a stock ecu at warm idle it should give you 15 degrees btdc, which is the middle mark of the 7 on the balancer.

only way to be sure is to hook it up to a laptop and look at a live ecu timing readout whilst setting the ca

edit: or you could use a timing light before you do the belt and set it to the same after doing it

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
