Rb26 Timing Belt Idler

[VSPEC-33]

Ive got a 10/96 R33 GT-R S2 and ive decided to get the timing belt done, for piece of mind.

I've got the belt, and the tensioner (from Nissan), but they want 250 bucks for the idler, they mentioned a certain month/year breakpoint or so they said (mid 96 or there abouts)

Ive read all the tb threads i could find on here for the last week, and i found NSK numbers etc for tensioner + idler. BUT nowhere does it say suits all RB's regardless, or rb20 +25s only, etc.

Could some one who has had the tb done on there Series 2 GT-R please let me know if there is an NSK idler avail because the nissan one is just highway robbery. Is it the same as all RBs or do Nissan have me by the balls and will extort 250 bucks from me

There is a thread on part numbers from BSC. They are the cheapest place to buy them from. The Nissan ones are quite expensive from memory. Search for the thread and call BSC

So your saying RB26 from R32 to R34 uses the same idler as RB20s and RB25s? Is that correct? Ive seen the threads with the part numbers but the info given is for rb20 +25s.

I dont want to have the car dissasembled, go to change the pulley only to find it wont fit my car.

Does anyone know for sure they are all the same?

Thanks for that Deren

So for future reference, RB26 use 13074-58S00 idler which should = NSK 56TB 2801 B01

$250 vs $50 mmm...... let me think about it......

out of interest what did the belt and tensioner cost you from nissan, am thinking of doing my 32 gtr for peace of mind also....?

Both tensioner and idler can be bought from BSC for about $160 all up from memory. Just need to buy the belt from Nissan

The tensioner cost me about $80 from memory, that was trade though. I didnt get the belt from Nissan, i bought an HKS belt when i bought my adjustable timing gears a little while back.
