Hey everyone, repaired a blown water pump gasket on my na r34 now my timing belt is winning at a particualar engine idle speed , i have done some research and i believe its because i over mentioned the belt, i was having a look around, i can't see a easy way to adjust the tensioner, i would rather not pull everything apart again

anyone had a similar issue and got any advice?

No, the hole doesn't look big enough to reach the Allen adjuster.

But who cares, the spring gives the belt's tension when setting up.

Most noisy idler problems are solved by backing off belt tension, not adding it.

Have to admit there's been a few times I've wished for a hole like that.

With my luck the socket would fall off then drop down in the bottom cover……….

At least you wouldn't be worried about belt tension noise then..............so many other noises you wouldn't hear it !!! lol

The only advice I'd give the Op is just check and maybe try loosening the fan belts first and see if the noise goes away??? easier to do this and check if the noise isn't from one of them first. Of cause if it doesn't solve it then its the timing belt. Also new timing belts [assuming you did a kit and fitted new belt, idler and tensioner wheels..if not then you probably should have] are noiser than your old one so live with it for a bit and see if it beds in?

yeah i will check the other belts tomorrow, and i had the timing belt in before and must have fluke it getting the tension right the first time i put it in, the reason for pulling it off was that the water pump gasket blew so it all had to come off again so its not just a new belt noise

      Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.

      Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.

      Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).

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

      There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.

      The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
