Dudes, is owning the Lineskys really that much?

Boostkid, I started working at Target. I've been at Uni since I was 17.

Now I work in Promotions as a shift supervisor, as a Casual. (Easily less than 20hrs/pw.

Still at uni doing Design (Hopefully to Design the cars of the future)

All my cars were bought with my own raised legitimate money. All with cash.

First car- Gloss black 77 TA23 Celica with 3TGTE.

Then i got a lancer. Then imported a 300zx. Then got an Mx5. Then got a 180sx. Now im waiting on my R32 GTS-t

I work like a slave as a second class bitch on I.T.

EDIT: thought I better add a bit more...I am 21 and had the R for about 8 months now. I don't have any other commitments other than getting drunk on weekends :). A few of you have just reminded me, I haven't changed my oil in about 7 months :D (8,000k's@mo)

maccas do pay OK.  way better than hungry jack's that's for sure.

Also maccas is good on a resume.

I'm at target cos I have a retail cert 2. and I like the people in my store and the experience I get.  Hours are good and pay is ok.

I made 480 bucks in one week and i'm 17 just because I did 2 full public holiday shifts :D

im a delivery driver, i was at school. hopefully ill get in this year at tafe! i only do 20 hours work and get paid $400 but i use about $70 a week on fuel... but i work 6 days a week coz i work only afew hours at night.

I work in an office for an insurance broker. I'm 21, permanent full time. And I have an R32 GTR. Had it for just under a year.

I change my oil every 10,000 km's :P hahaha. Oil changes are cheap as if you do it yourself lang....

My fuel budget per fortnight is $200. Most of that is taken up driving to and from work (65km's a day in the R), but it also allows me generally 1 cruise a fortnight and a bit of running around on the weekends. I think the only way I can afford my car on my wage is because I am very good with money & budgeting.

I did work at Woolworths when I had my MX-6 Turbo, my S13 Silvia and my old R32 Skyline.

I now work at a wholesale distributor and bought a TE Cortina with a 1JZGTE, I still have that as well as a R32 with a stroked RB25DET, and for my daily driver I have a KE70 Corolla.

The only way I can afford to keep them all is I stay casual, as the pay is about $90 a week more then full time. I have never had a holiday in my life (time off I mean) because if I don't work I don't get paid. The overtime is good $30p/h for time and a half and double time $40 really makes me happy. However there is no guaranteed overtime so I take as much I as can get when it comes up.

I am going to change professions in about a week though, and become a driving instructor. This should see me paying off at least one of my loans. Then it’s house time for me, all the while I am living at home with someone else (tenant) paying off most of the home loan I hope.

haha i was kidding, i do do it myself every 4000km

Lol. I thought it was a bit pov haha. VERY glad it was a joke....If I changed my oil every 4000km's I would get about 2 months out of it!! I do about 500km's a week :D

3rd year apprentice sparky! im 20.... saving for about a year and a half for my 33gts-t...it was so worth it!! everyday when i wake up for work all i have to do is think of the drive there and im happy...but i have also spent about the same on investments as i hav on my car....so i guess u could say ive been a little bit "sensible".....lol :(

My GTR is only a Toy and in the last 12 months I have done about 6000kms in it.

(In which time it has had 3 oil Changes!)

I own it outright, as well as my 2002 TJ Magna

I am not good with money, and have wasted absolutely Thousands of $$$$ on cars since getting my license, I Have had well over 30 cars, infact the only reason I own both cars now is 'Time' as I myself am well over 30! :P

(Dont laugh it comes around pretty quick, before you know it you'll be 30 to :):( )

    • Nissan/Pitwork is fine stuff. HKS is just marketing wank. I personally wouldn't do the idler if it is already new. If it looks and feels fine, it is fine. But as D says - it's cheap to add it to the job. The water pump ditto. Even more so. If it show no signs of problems, then it is nearly new - leave it.
    • 1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
