Hi guys,

I am about to pay $300 for a new timing belt fitted. My question is, should I pay the extra to get the water pump done at the same time? If so how much extra would it cost as i am a bit strapped for cash at the moment.

I have 105 000 on the clock... (rb25det)

Whilst doing timing belt they found my water pump needed replacing and the radiator needed a clean out. All up cost me bout $700 mates rates, however my mate usually does Rolls, Jags and Mercs so i'm not sure of normal price. Advan in syd have a good deal for timing belt replacement.

$300 is cheap compared to some of the prices I was quoted when looking to get my timing belt replaced in Perth. The cheapest I could find was $430 from a work shop who didn't know much about Skylines. I rang my local Nissan dealer and they said it would cost me $650 - $800, depending on the VIN number of my car. They then asked me what time I would like to book the car in and I hung up. Poor value!

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high?
