Timing Belt Time!

[MacGuyver]

Hey I know this is probably a really ooooold question, but has anyone in Perth tried to change their timing belt by themselves? Does anyone know where I can get a CAS 'O' ring and a CAS gasket for a 94 R33 GTST Skyline? Doesn't have to be in Perth. Or does anyone know of somewhere that isn't going to charge me big bucks to get it changed?

You most certainly can do it yourself, but unless you know what your doing, then it's not worth the risk.

You should be able to get the parts from any of the Nissan outlets, if your a SAUWA member we get trade price at DVG Morley who sell Nissan parts, ring and speak to Scott.

Just had a mate chage mine. No small job. Glad i didnt tackle it myself.

Just allow yourself at least an afternoon or so if you haven't done it previously and it's also worth changing the water pump in some circumstances too if need be.

Nothing to be too scared of though, just work at your own pace.

cam sensor gaskets and o rings are designed to be reused

I did mine at home and took around three hours, ended up putting the timing belt on just one tooth out on the exhaust side and the car was running like shit, so just be carful to match up the correct marks.

I also heard that the crank pulleys have to be tightend correctly or it will fall out? True or False anyone know?

just make sure its tight or the crank bolt will undo itself and the crank pully will come off. best way is to use a breaker bar and hit it with a hammer and if your still unsure use some lock tight.

Good value, thanks for the help guys! I reckon I'll give it a go it doesn't sound too hard as long as I take my time. MacGuyver can do it!
