Evening people, after having seen a conversation started in a different thread, lwells posted a pic with a timing belt sticker on it that indicates it has been replaced..

the one posted below is from my car, could someone please confirm/translate what this sticker says/means.

Is it a sticker saying it must be replaced - or that it has been replaced.. it looks slightly different to the one lwells posted..

Appreciate it..

Thanks,

I've got the same one on my R33 GTS-T, and so does another owner I know. I'm leaning towards thinking they are a sticker simply reminding you to get it replaced at 100,000kms, as there's no dealer / shop stamp or imprint on there to indicate it's been done.

I don't think so man, when its been changed, its either etched in, or a sticker is placed near by, indicating that it has indeed been changed. Looks like a sticker saying that it has to be changed at 100,000km

Excellant.. cheers guys - just wanted to make sure - the one lwells posted appeared to have something written on it with pen/etched and a number more lines.. Would make sense that this is justa warning to remember that it needs to be replaced..

PHHHHEEEWWWW... cheers..

Why do you sound so happy that it hasn't been changed?

When i first bought my car 4yrs ago, it had 69,000K on the clock. The first service i did, which was very soon after, i changed the belt and completed all other majors.

I just did the timing belt on my car a few days ago. It had the same sticker, but I checked the belt as I wasnt sure what the stick exactly ment.

I dare say that even if it was changed that not all people will write on the sticker to say it has, but thats no reason not to spend 20minutes and check it out for yourself

Why do I sound happy - well because going on normal belt changes being 80k - 100k I was worried that my clock had been wound back, I now have pretty good belief that it hasn't been..

I'll get the belt inspected when I get the car fully serviced otherwise it will be changed in an 80,000 - 90,000kms service.. car is going perfectly well, is in great mechanical condition and doesn't currently need it.

I think the k's were appropriate for the year of the car more so than 80% of cars I see for sale out there - also the interior and standard of everything appears to match them..

just wanted to know what the sticker should look like..

after reading HPI last night - the bonus copy from last year that i got with this months they had a small description of the sticker hahahaha <- random chances..

the sticker will have the Odometer reading on it as well as the year that it was changed.

i'll post up a picture..

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
