Well its cam belt changing time for the Stagea, so I figured while doing that I might as well change the exhaust camshaft pulley to an adjustable one. I have a couple of used ones of various brands lying around, but I wanted to try an Apexi one, as we haven't used theirs before.

So log onto my friendly Nengun website and check the prices, they sure have come down in price, $135 plus $18 for freight. Order confirmed, usually takes about a week.

Cambelts, the standard one does the job, this is not a big valve spring engine. Off to the local Nissan dealer, one in stock, $90 thank you very much.

I will post up a step by step, with useful tips and a list of necessary tools, just need to wait a for the pulley to arrive.:P

Order takes a week? My SAFCII took a month to arrive. Speaking of which I get it tuned on Wednesday. I'll let you all know how I go.

A month, that usually means the Apexi warehouse didn't have any in stock, Nengun can't do much about that. The camshaft pulleys were in stock when I last checked, so fingers crossed.....

Looking forward to seeing your results, I have a fair bit of SAFC experience on R33 GTST's but never on a Stagea.

:(

I'd be interested in your opinion on the Apexi pulley (vis-a-vis the ever popular duralium HKS's and Tomei's).

Lucien.

That's exactly why I ordered an Apexi one, to see how it measures up against the others I have used.:(

A step by step guide would be awesome! Are you going to replace the bearings in the idle pulley etc.? I already have a belt here ready for mine I got a few months ago :)

It makes no bearing noise, I will check it while changing the belt. But not usually a problem, unless soemone has over tightened the belt. I am changing the original belt, car has alway been to a Nissan dealer (Dayz) for service. So I don't anticipate that problem.:(

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
