eh anyway after alot of screwing around i'm putting my belt back on my car.. now the only problem i have is lining it all up.

I've attached a few pictures showing the gears lining up with the backing/key hole.. i just want someone to verify that that's where u line these little nubs up at.

The engine is at TDC

Also on the cover for my exhaust cam gear (vac holder thingo) theres a white mark, which lines up with the mark on the exhaust gear.. which i'm assuming is all good.

Other question i have is where do u line the marks on the timing belt up with? do they line up with the white marks on the backing plate behind the gears(and the slot on the bottom one) or somewhere else? (i cant use the ones i marked on the timing belt because i'm wondering if it may have skipped a gear)

Also my exhaust cam seems to be a tiny bit more advanced than the other one.. they're normally exactly opposed right? i can twist it back a tooth by hand

looks all good to me , Make sure your tension is correct, i usally roll it over a few times then re check it, usally thae marks on the belt can be matched to the marks on the gears to make it easyier but they dont always line up, so use the marks on the motor.

hmm so to line it up without markings would i just make sure the idler side is real tight and then tighten the tensioner side so it's tight as well, or is it still possible it can be a tooth out on the idler side and i'll need a new belt? (this one is only a few thousand k's odl)

OK that's all done but 1 other question i have.. does the engine need to be set to TDC when your putting the CAS on? i marked it and (altho the markings have faded) think it's real close to where it was.. but i'm just wondering if the positioning of the engine will make a difference? Also this thing you can adjust left and right to retard/advance timing right?

ah yeh i have the half moon key slotted in ok, just wasn't sure, what your saying makes sense because obviously i didn't stop the engine at tdc hehe, bit of a brain fart there.. car will be all back and going tomorrow hopefully after hogging the garage for 4 months hehe

and the belt was changed as part of my buying deal, just before i bought the car and hasn't more than 2000km's on it, it looks fine so i see no need in replacing it

ugh re-using timming belt's

stdish rb26 rebuild $4000 +++

gate's belt $120

i know which one i'd choose, who's to say you have got the belt going the opposite way to which it was worn...

STD belt from nissan cost me about $95

peanuts really :D

k it's all back together and car seems to run fine.. bit of a ticking sound i can hear from outside car or bouncing off walls.. i havnt had this thing on in ages but think that was there before hand.. how noisy are the injectors in these things? i'm thinking it's that.. anyways hopefully i'll drop by a mech tomorrow and get them to take a quick look, then it's clutch replacement time

thx for the help guys (in the other thread too)

The injectors are quite noisy, as are the solid lifters even when shimmed to factory tolerance. You can isolate the noises by giving the engine a race while listening. You will notice the injectors cut out on engine decelleration. If the loudest noise goes away in this situation then its the injectors :domokun: Another option is to use a proper stethescope or just a screwdriver on the suspect and the other end pressed on your ear.

By the way engine oil wont change lifter noise in a Rb26, as mentioned they are a solid lifter arrangement and do not require hydraulic pressure to operate. If they are noisey the only way to quieten them is to re-shim.

Hope this helps,

Deren

Ah thanks godzilla, the noise stays constant through deceleration (i didn't think it would totally cut the injectors on backoff) so i guess it must be the lifters that are the problem.. which isn't really a problem after all. thx for the help

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
