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?

    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat 
    • I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
