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.

Can someone tell me if it is easy to remove the CAS?

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 .

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
