Haha. Anyone with xray eyes?

Youd have to take the timing belt cover off and even then you can't be sure, sometimes the top of the belt looks ok but there could be cracks on the underneath side. If you know the cars history and trust it then maybe you might not bother replacing it, providing it's been replaced.

Otherwise it is a bit of a risk. These are interference engines so if it snaps you're in the poo.

Can anyone tell me if the timing belt on my r33 has been chnaged by looking at this pic? 2ahth0i.jpg

I had my timing belt and waterpump replaced yesterday.. There is a little silver sticker on the plastic black timing belt cover normally, the put a yellow one over that saying kms ect.. The belt had already been replaced in the past i just did it for peace of mind.

Take it to a mechanic and have it done just in case if you dont know. I could save you alot of money in the future.

      The Ls1 R33 Of Fury

      Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
