I'll be there a bit early to get the fire going :-) - as anyone who went last time knows, I like fires.... (any comment muck?:))

So if you see a bayside blue series 2 you'll know you're in the right place. Mind you, if it is pissing down with rain, or 40C I won't be coming.. :-(

hahahaha... its a no go zone.. when ians setting up his fire....

hah... i was planning to see you tomorrow ian... hah.. but it could be a bit hot for you!! i want to laugh at your dodgy programming again!

Not to hot for me, I like the heat! And the house will be at 22.5C regardless of the outdoor temperature anyway...

Yep, I may have already found out what the problem was, but do need a sereis 1 stagea to test it on (works fine on my series 2). For those who weren't at the last melbourne get together - I brought my laptop along and tried it on all the cars. We had problems downloading the entire ROM with the series 1 stagea - my program was getting errors (as were other peoples program ie datascan was just hanging (as it does on about half the cars I try it on)).

I think I've figured out what it was, and we are now getting rom downloads out of cars that nobody has ever been able to download from before... :-)

I'll bring it along in two weeks as well - people can take it for a drive around the block and when they come back we can watch what they did without having to be in the car with them in the first place.... :-)

The problem was that we were scattered all around the different car parks (the park was packed with some big event). So not sure if anyone took pics..

Ian

And there was all that spare parking space at the SAU BBQ on the same day!?!

You guys are on here - why the fragmentation on the streets??

OK I know its spelt STAGEA not Skyline, - BUT??

I only ask cause it looks like Turbine (son) is gonna get one and I dont want to have to be trying to cover multiple meets on the same day.

sauvic bbq was for existing and renewing members only (sorta like a "thanks for the support" thing). I don't think any of the melb stagea owners are SAU VIC members, so they couldn't have checked the members section where the BBQ was announced a month ago. I think Alex was the only one who had access, but I think he found out about it a little too late.

      RB25DET NEO R34 timing belt

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The markings on a balancer are on the outer. The outer is separated from the inner by the rubber. The outer and the inner can, and will, slip against each other as the balancer starts to fail. Put a new balancer on it.

      RB25DET NEO R34 timing belt

      By JC71 · Posted

      I just replaced the timing belt, along with tensioner, idler, water pump, etc. all the front end engine stuff with all new stock Nissan parts on my 98 R34 GTT that I just recently got, so glad I did as the belt ,tensor, idler and water pump were all original to the car with over 161 Km and looked absolutely terrible, honestly I cant believe the belt has not broken, luckily I have not driving the vehicle since I got it, and only have ran a few times because I've been restoring it over this winter. I turned engine over by hand and lined up all the timing marks from cams, to the head (plate behind pulleys), and crank to  oil pump block mark, as ran fine, but had a lot of front end noise. the idler sounded like gravel and the tensioner had to no tensor left on it at all as it appeared the spring had rusted in place due to a waterpump leak over the years. so the timing belt was very loose on the left or tensioner side. Never the less I turn engine by hand until everything lined up even with the marks on the original belt. I remove everything making sure not to rotate anything, then put in new tensioner,  idler, made sure all marks from belt matched marks on the pulleys, cams and crank alike and all marks from crank and cams to head and block were perfect. I slowly turned by hand and everything lined up on the cams and crank to the head and block every other time, as proper. all looked fine until I put the lower timing belt cover back on, then the  harmonic balancer, at this point before torqueing the crank bolt down I noticed the timing mark on the lower cover to the harmonic balancer is off. I think the marks on the harmonic balancer and in 5 degrees, from 0-20  and it should be at 0, but some how its around -2.5, not enough for a belt notch, and there is little play in this cover to the block. The key way and key are perfect on the crank and slot in balancer is perfect, no play here, and the cams and other timing marks seem to be on. Is this something to be concerned with or will it be fine. maybe just this way due to a new stock Nissan belt?? slightly tight and will stretch a hair??? I marked the CAS before disassembly and know it should be set to 15 degrees BTDC or so at 650 rpms per engine decal. so do I need to worry about what appears to be a slight retard of the mechanical timing? or will this slight difference be compensated when I adjust my CAS?   appreciate any insight.
