Jap Sticker


Recommended Posts

Hi,

My R33 was imported to AUS in May 07, and at the time it had 95000 on the clock(i am the first owner), which means that i would need to do the timing belt and the water pump soon, but i noticed JAP sticker, its on the cover of the timing belt saying 91365 KM, and somthing else in jap which i am trying to figure out ... i am thinking that they replaced it before the car got to AUS, other belts seem new, water pump has a slightly different colour, and the screws around and on it seem to be worked on,

I am not shore, should i risk or not??? if it was done no point doing it again and plust it cost 6 7 800 bucks ...

I will take the cover of to check the belt for cracks and see (it should still look new)

But if the sticker confirms that it was done ... i will be the happiest :P

Can anyone translate it to me, plz

Thanks

Your sticker says...

Timing belt change

Date: 24 November 2006

Odo: 93165

Just a sticker though, anyone could have put it there! Still if the belt looks in new condition you can be fairly confident it has been done.

Hi,

Thanks for that pal, i will still take the cover off to have a look.

I dont think that anyone would put somthing like ther just to f...ck someone up if it wasnt done, at least it wouldnt do it, but u know ther r all sorts of ppl out there ... but again noone can benifit from it

Thanks a lot again.

HELLRAISER - You said that you think it will cost 6 - 7- $800 to do your timing belt???

Youre getting ripped off if you've been quoted that much!

    • So next year I am looking at upgrading from my VE SS bomadore ute to something more refined.  I wanted to stick with a V8 but not anything German or Australian, either a coupe or a sedan. So if I wanted anything newish that limited my options to either the Lexus RCF which I quite like. But with the price they demand and a kid on the way a 2 door coupe is probably not going to be the best idea. The next best thing would be the ISF but the newest models are 2014 and commanding over 60k and even the older 2008 models in ok condition starting around 35k is kind of bullshit. So I figured if I could not have the noise I could perhaps make do with easy power. Enter the infinity Q50 or Skyline equivalent. The price difference between the 300 and 400hp models seems a bit crazy. Right now there is 300hp Q50 one on carsales from a dealer with 61km for 27k drive away. If I wanted to get a 400hp Red or 400R car the prices seem to start at 43k From my limited research it seems that the only differences are that the 400r/Red Red runs more boost and a more aggressive tune. There are are turbine speed sensors on the turbos. Has 2 pumps for the water to air intercooler. Runs an engine oil cooler. I'm guessing that the exterior trims might look a little more sporty as well. I had a lazy look for upgrades to bridge the gap on z1motorsports They have kits that upgrade the water to air heat exchanger as well as the coolant pump which should give a non Red/400r better intercooling temps than the stock Red/400r. I added an engine oil cooler with a thermostat as well to try and make things as close as possible. Obviously the ECU is going to need a tickle. Having not done much in the way of research they also sell a ECU flashing tool with pre loaded tunes that are supposed to boost the non Red/400R by 100hp which adds 1k USD to the cost. The total cost of the parts @ the current time including shipping and taxes worked out to be $4350 AUD. Personally I would rather get the car tuned on a dyno which would probably add more cost Assuming the worst that you got a workshop to install the new parts I would guess no more than 5 hours would be required in the worst case @ 5 x $150 per hour = $750 So the total cost could be around $5100 So for easy number 5k + 27K = 32k I guess that would leave some change left over to swap out the open diff and fit a LSD Any thoughts?      
    • Right, not sure why I thought it to be a lean spike. It might be fixable with modern card-style hot film MAFs which have some design features to avoid counting reversion flow but I've never tried it myself.
    • I did not realise this, I'll contribute more and earn my stripes and retry later. 
    • I'm only going to hassle you for posting links to images. It's against my policy to click links that could be some nasty payload. Sadly, you need to make 9 more posts before you can just stick the images directly in a post, unless @PranK sees this and bends the rule for you.
