hey man, what part numbers did you use for these? they're 3 different belts right? did you do the power steering belt too?

only reason i ask is i'm probably gonna get lube mobile to do my 100km service and just supply all the parts (a workshop quoted me $600 for the labour). I just want to have everything there ready to fit.

Will probably also take out the radiator etc for the guy to save money (he can put it back for me though :() just don't want to have to guess with things like the timing and tension and don't have a harmonic balancer puller.

Aww this reminds me its time to do my 100,000km service also. Just emailed Unigroup for a price fingers crossed its not too crazy. How long did it take to get the whole service done?? Did you get the car back the same day??

it's usually less than a days work. actually no more than 4 hours for a mechanic (tops) otherwise you'd have to question their skill level. but that's just for a fluids, belts, water pump, idler bearings etc change. if you add in extra stuff it'll take longer obviously.

Just got a response from Lube mobile they said this. Its a little bit excessive I think.

"In response to your e-mail, the labour to perform the 100 000km Log Book Service (Including fitting your Water Pump, Timing Belt and Tensioner). is only $588.20"

that's pretty good!

all lube mobile did was tell me is:

LM "To get a mechanic onsite to do this for you you would be looking at our minimum charge of $132.80 for the first 45 minutes and $99.80 per hour thereafter."

ME "Any indication of how long this type of job would take?"

LM "The mechanic will be able to give a better indication onsite."

which i thought was pretty lame, but they called me after i said "why not just put those prices on the website then!?" and she said I wouldn't have to pay for anything if he came out and gave a quote that I wasn't prepared to accept.

Thats the good thing :thumbsup:

You know about the work I had done, which he completed at 7:30 last night. The "worst case" quote he gave was $2500, I ended up paying $2400.

This was the major (all fluids, flush, belts [timing etc etc], tuneup, clutch and brake master, new plat plugs and gapping, a few hoses, and so much more I couldnt list but just think "

the major of major services lol), steering pump, 2 x Nolathane castor bushes, fuel lines (f'ing thinks were ripped up and leaking everywhere haha - why i drove it like this, I dont know haha), wipers, 02 sensor, water pump.

Plus they gave me 2 x $30 vouchers for my next service haha.

    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
