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...

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
