hey guys this afternoon i replaced my timing belt with a gates one. aligned everything, but noticed the intake cam seemed to be out by about half a tooth. marked belt etc and placed new one on and adjusted tension. when adjusted it seemed to line up almost perfect but when i rotated it twice it went back to being around half a tooth out. but was still tensioned well. is this normal????

cheers;)

well they lined up perfect when i fisrt put them on. i even played it safe and marked both belts and counted teeth to get it right. but its weird how it was half a tooth out before and also now after the new belt. could there have been something wrong with engine? i just bought it and decided to do belt before i chuck it in

What happens when you go another revolution? It should be out further.

What is the ratio of "teeth on belt : teeth on cam wheel"? Unless that is a whole number, you will always observe the apparent problem. The important ratio is "teeth on cam wheel : teeth on crank wheel" (which should be 2:1).

And the tensioner will not affect any of this.

      Hi All, My R33 GTSt has a broken air conditioner condenser, and receiver drier.  Trying to find replacement parts (specifically a new receiver/drier) has been a nightmare.  Is anyone able to point me in the right direction, please?  It doesn't need to be OEM, just fit in the OEM space with the appropriate pressure switch. Many thanks, Michael

      I thought DW was one of those things that people thought was the bomb ~10 years ago and since learnt not to use their stuff? Because it's not any better than a bunch of other options, and definitely worse than a number of other options.

      There will be wiring, preferably crimping. The whole "skyline specific fuel pump" marketing that DW uses is a lie. It's just an ordinary fuel pump with all the ordinary bits that come with it. You still need to do all the wiring that you would have had to do otherwise if you bought something like a generic Walbro 525 pump.  Other things to consider (based on my horrible experience using DW pumps) * How is the fuel pump sock attached? On my old DW pump there was no locking mechanism, it was an interference fit and after a couple of years of driving, the sock came off. I now have a random fuel sock floating around in my tank =/ * Does the fuel pump have an internal check valve? My old DW pump didn't. Not having one is a pain. Just another thing to buy and faff about installing into your fuel line. I wish it was stated on the product box/online description 'no check valve'. The product description gave no indication if it had or didn't have one. I wouldn't have bought it had I known it didn't have an internal check valve.  * Consider the depth the factory fuel pump sock reaches in the tank. If you install the DW pump in the stock location and use the baby sized sock supplied, you will find yourself running out of fuel with like 15 litres of fuel still in the tank. + * Do you have any plans to use e85 in the future? Now is the time to install submergible e85 fuel lines in the tank.

      I have ad blockers and automation breakers (like NoScript) installed on all my browsers on all my devices. I have a PiHole at home and use other forms of DNS blocking to prevent the advertisers, and more importantly, the trackers from google, meta and all those other kunnts from watching what I do. They learn NOTHING! Or at least, as close to nothing as I can make it. I don't care if google knows that I'm searching for things. But they can get f**ked tracking my every move. Plus, when surfing donkey porn, the automation breakers help to prevent driveby trojan installers.
