Hi,

I'm gonna replace timing belt soon, was told to do water pump at same time..

For a skyline r34gtt rb25det

I found on ebay a set costs around 230 bucks for the lot..

Timing belt

Tensioners

Water pump

Will this be ok for a stock daily driver car?

Here is a link.. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=251865054660&alt=web

If this is not recommended can someone advise a better set on ebay..

Thankyou guys

Edit: the link provided says the pump is not compatible with my car but another listing is..

But in general these are not fake crap are they?

Golebys parts - gates belt, tensioner, nsk idler, 2x cam seals, crank seal - $180

Kudos - genuine pump - $160

Ebay - gates 3x ancillary belts - $60?

I contemplated a gates pump as their pressure lines, belts etc are amazing and are used on all big machinery. But after a lot of research it seems aftermarket pumps are a lucky dip. For an extra $100 you could have had a genuine pump that will have no problems.

Have you fitted a kevlar belt before?

If not Google "over tensioned Rb cam belt noises", might save you doing the job twice.

I'd think about seal replacement too. I never touch a seal if it's working OK with no weeping.

The oil pump seal in particular may cause some grief when fitting.

With any of these water pump kits, you have to be positive you're getting the correct pump as far as that 6mm bolt up top goes. The e-bay photo isn't clear enough to see if the pump has the hole slotted.

Yeah beware of RB30 pumps sold as fitting an RB25/26, they will but the top bolt doesn't line up - get one for an RB25/26. And I'm with jiffo, I didn't replace my seal, it was fine and 'if it ain't broke don't fix it'.

Thanks for the replies..

I have found another kit.

Anyone think this seller is ok?

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
