Heat expanded? Sounds like the fitter didn't know what they were doing.

There have been several members now that have fitted these on R33's and R32's with no complications

This has been covered in 3 threads already - When removing the factory front pipe to fit any aftermarket unit you need to check the alignment of the rest of the exhaust system when its all back together and adjust as needed as its common that you shift the rear section of the exhaust during fitting so the hangers and mounts move which can cause the system to knock around a little

fitted to my car perfectly. 33 25t s2. didnt need any bending on my own, pretty much just fit first go

only hard parts, getting hte dammed heat shields of and re-bolting the t3 flange was a much smaller mission

it didnt clear the floor pan properly, it was rubbing and hitting it...hence it needed to be fixed through heating....but the fitters were advan so i doubt they didnt know what they were doing...lol...i probably had a deformed one LOL 1/10000000 lol either that or because i didnt take just japs advice and get a high flow cat at the same time lol

I got the whole turbo back system from JJ and it came with X Force hi flow cat, so in theory it should be an easy job right?

    • 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!
