nfi if mine has hit 6 figures or not.. As it arrived here with 66k... So its hard to tell. But I did my belt and other stuff when I got it.

More for a piece of mind that the car wont break few months down the track... And now 6 months on.. car is going great!

Need more power now! :huh: After seeing so many on the cruise and only hitting 158rwkw...

What timing belt are you replacing it with?

Is there any difference between a Nissan one and an aftermarket one (eg I know GReddy makes them)?

Nah going with the original NISSAN one, i was adviced to KEEP IT REAL... :lol:

Mine had 156,000 when I sold it

STD Nissan Timing Belt's fine unless your pushing some rediculous amount of HP.

Gates are good for strength but the blue coating comes off them very quickly. Bit annoying when that's one of the reasons you buy it and show it off..

yes i would love to know how aftermarket belts are noiser than nissan ones? this should be a good explanation...

It seems to be the Gates belts rather than all a/m belts in general. More than one workshop has mentioned the fact that the Gates belts tend to be noisy, I can only imagine is related to their design and/or material they are made from.

ahh i see, i thought you were being sarcastic!

well there is not a standard belt left on my car. i'm using Greddy timing belt and pitwork accesory belts and they are quiet.

Mine's still running the original belt (well, I assume it is). :cheers: Really gotta do something about that :) *snap* :)

Tossing up whether to do it myself or just get it done by a mechanic. Out of interest, how easy/hard is it to tell if the water pump is cactus or a-ok? I remember SK saying that there is no point just replace the water pump without actually checking it...

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
