timing belt check

[predator]

I've heard that checking to see whether the timing belt has been servied at 100k is a decent measure to see whether an import has been wound back.. Usually they'll dial the km back but luck out on the notification sticker for that? is this right?

Where abouts can you find when/if it has been done?

thanx

Bump..

I would like to know this also..

im sure ur mechanic or whoever can change them can give u a good idea on how many km's it has really done as to the state of the timing belt

its its pretty gone well usually its done over 100,000

but im sure he can give u a better decription and what he thinks it really is

[PRIMO]

on the cam cover ussually you can see a silver sticker with numbers on it writen in pen that has faded off or rubbed off are ussually the klm it has been replaced

you can see pen indent if you look hard enough

this is just a guide and i make no guarentee this is true just my opinion

hope this helps

duz a r32 with rb20 hav a timing belt or chain??? question mite sound silly but my previous s13 silvia with a sr20 had a chain which surprised me coz i always thought it had a belt.

If the rb20 duz hav a chain then i was under the impression that aslong as the engines in good condition and regular servicing then it didn't need changing....Any thoughts on this.....

rb20 has a timing belt

dose any 1 no the part number for the belt

and if the rb25 has the same belt

If theres a silver sticker on the cam cover saying jap talk followed by 100 000km's, its been changed. As far as I know.

i would like to know the part number also for the timing belt on an RB25

which also means, if you have bought an import up to 10yrs old

and the clock "says" 40-60k (as most do by the time they get here) change the timing belt asap to be safe... its really not that expensive. changing it when your clock "says" 100k might actually be 130k or even lots more and that to me is a fair risk.

[qote]If theres a silver sticker on the cam cover saying jap talk followed by 100 000km's, its been changed. As far as I know.

So just that mean it has been done at 100,000km or should be done at 100,000km??? Mine has the sticker and the odometer reads 76,000. No evidence of hand writing on it though. I'm confused now.

[crooser]

the sticker is a standard thing... just telling you to change it at 100k

some write on it when its been done... some dont. depends on the mechanic

Hey all,

Got my timing belt changed for $100,

A friend of the family is a mechanic and he's opening shop in a few weeks. the belt itslef cost me $100 so all up $200 not bad... he sayd normally he charges $150 for the labour.. not bad hey?

The car runs really smooth...

Winding back the km's is a big problem with imports....

Remember if the kms are really low and the car does not have a hugh price then their hiding something...

OK.... do some research on other import yards to find the common price and km's in ya area then go for the once that fits ya budget and looks the best (in condition i mean not with T66's and shit)
