My crank angle sensor still have a sticker on 1 screw. Does it mean that my timing belt hasn't been changed??

Seller told me that timing belt was changed. By looking at the sticker here, it looks like the stock sticker.

Can someone confirm the sticker.

i have 100000km on my R32 gtst.

So i guess it is time to change.

If the timing belt has been changed or a 100,000km service has been done, there should be a sticker with the date it was changed and the kms when it was changed. This should be located at the top of the cam cover.

See here for more info: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...&hl=sticker

The sticker in this pic means that it is "recommended" that you change it at 100,000kms

i dont recall ever seeing that sticker on a CAS. it's most likey just there to stop people adjusting the timing once it was set. you could be right though. was there any receipts or service stickers to indicate that the timing belt HAD been changed?

No, i dont have any service record. Seller said it was changed but i dont believe that.

There is a sticker on the radiator, but i believe it is to show that the radiator liquid flush got change.

No sticker on the timing belt cover.

I do believe that the sticker on the screw of the CAS is stock.

I remember seeing a low km skyline and it got that sticker on the screw that looks fresh from the factory.

Is it easy to remove the timing belt cover? I would like to have a look at it, but im afraid to mess up with the timing from the CAS.

My CAS has the same sticker/tape. It had 68,000km on a wound back odo when I picked it up. I have no idea if my timing belt has been changed.

doodz not everyone has a 100,000km stamp. I'd be surprised if anyone other than Nissan stamped the head during that service.

the sticker is broken so the sensor has been moved or taken out

the sticker was broken on the side, probably due to its age.

if you look carefully in the picture, you can still see a part of the sticker covering the screw.

I doubt that someone will put back the sticker after opening the CAS.

yeah, no-one would use a screw driver to undo bolts. well no one smart anyway :teehee:

if it's broken on the side then it you be a safe bet to say it's been removed. all that means is that someone has removed or loosend the CAS. still doesn't tell you if the timing belt was changed or not.

you are right! :) No one will remove it with a screwdriver. :(

Now i still want to check if the timing belt was change.

Just unbolt and mark down where the bolt sit, and remove?

Then put back at the same position??

Yes but you will have to check timming with a light to make sure its 15 degrees .

i have all those stickers all over my rb20det

it pretty much liek those seals on panadol cases i guess LOL

oi why is the a mitsubishsi (cant spell) symbol

    • Given you already have the engine cross member to match and likely gearbox mount to. The SR20 has a head start on the RB in this case. They handle GREAT with an SR20, lots of fun.   One I did back in the day
    • have no doubt and wanted too trust me and may regret later not necessarily worried about weight (would be 8 kg ish total) it was more the $$ to do it properly is about $6 - $7K in hardwear need long 310mm stroke jacks etc - plus install and call me whatever im not doing it myself even if wanted too cant weld etc  - thats $10K installed vs fraction of that cost while Ive spent some money on this POS I actually really dont like doing so unless its got a large chance to make me go faster 😁 hey in still carting this things around on a 15 yr old rusted open trailer so I can spend on racing not buy a new trailer to look better the manual jacks Ive had done are heavy and take space but are transportable and usable anywhere - taking or organizing even compressed air let alone nitrogen which is more whats needed coming from Perth to Winton or Sydney or the like honestly just adds to my brain headaches/ hurts of organisation also ha 15 mins job will get down to 2 - 5 min job vs 1 min job for airjacks - all tradeoffs I spose
    • Purely out of curiosity, how do you know all this @dbm7? Do you work with automatic gearboxes professionally? This goes way way way beyond "I've had an automatic Skyline once and did some mucking around"
    • I'll just reiterate that it's best to do all the wiring diagnostics, before even thinking about buying replacement solenoids ~ that is, be absolutely sure the solenoid is bad.....ie; bad connector(s), rodents chewed through a wire, etc etc. If you don't so this, you can fork out all the money for solenoids, only to find something else is wrong (this'll make you cry if you pull the valvebody only to find a broken wire is at fault... ...some more glue on the solenoid packs -- this is the RE5R01A shift solenoid assembly.... ...these are all shift solenoids ~ ostensibly they're the same as the shift solenoids from the 4-speed auto.... ...this is the RE4R01A solenoid set... ...with these, you have 3 shift solenoids attached to the plate, and the separate solenoid is the EPC solenoid (line pressure control) -- with both designs, the TC lockup clutch solenoid (also PWM so they could slide the clutch shut), is located on the lower valvebody half.... ...(story time)...back in the 90's, it was a common fault that the EPC solenoid (or TC-lock solenoid) would fail, but Nissan only sold them as part of the assembly (think ~$350 at the time) ~ thing was, Isuzu also used these boxes in light commercials, and you could buy the PWM solenoid as a separate part, so it was possible to buy/use that solenoid (around $65), and make it fit (remove the circlip, fit to old plate and deal with wiring)...making it a more cost effective repair. I've not seen the RE5R01A shift solenoid assembly, but with the 4-speed RE4R01A it was possible to hack/fit a single shift solenoid onto an other working set, using a donor solenoid from another set with failed EPC....(by rights the whole set should be replaced), but it ends up being a question of how much life is left in the box itself ; sometimes it's a viable repair to fix one solenoid, just to get another 100k of road miles out of it before it needs first overhaul...other times the box is that old/worn, you're as well doing first overhaul and replacing the solenoids and starting fresh... What Nissan did here with the 5-speed, was relocate the EPC solenoid to the lower valvebody (next to the TC lockup solenoid), and stuck the direct-drive clutch solenoid (for the extra gear) where the EPC solenoid used to be on the 4-speed....I can only imagine they did this for serviceability ; the PWM solenoids are most likely to fail, and it's a doddle to drop the pan and change these out (as opposed to dropping the valvebody itself to get at a top mounted EPC)... ...also keep in mind, that some BMW 3/5 series & Mazda (and maybe some Ford/Mazda rebadges, not sure), also used the RE5R01A box under a different name/part number...not saying parts availability is any better, but sometimes it helps to know this when it comes to NOS floating about in the EU....

    • FWIW, air jacks are actually pretty light and simple to add, they are just 4 hydraulic cylinders (often at the main cage A and C pillar points) and an externally accessible airline  - they make quick work a breeze
