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..

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
