it would have been a lot easier to check when the motor was out of the car. If u take off the timing belt cover, you will be able to check the condition of the belt. If its an aftermarket belt ie Gates or delco, you should be able to clearly see the logo stamped onto the belt if its a fairly new belt.

The prudent thing to do in a car which has a questionable service history is to bite the bullet and change them! I had a friend who took the previous owners word regarding servicing, in particular the timing belt, and he ended up with a busted engine from a stuffed timing belt.... Cheaper to change the belt than the engine!

right with that one mate:)

iv just replaced the belt on my 33, and its not a hard job to do just fiddly

if your taking the timing cover off, for the sake of $70 i would bite the bullet and replace the belt. At least u have to peace of mind that you know its been done.

of u can do it yourself it makes it easy:)

      Because it is financially convenient for them lol. Why wouldn't they want to give you the lowest possible valuation for your car?

      Yep. @Duncan also shannons they will rip you dry and will be probably limited on how much you can drive. Also keep in mind that you always have to have it garaged with Shannons, with enthusiasts as per their PDS you can have it 2 times per week on the driveway for example.

      I had a generic 4" Varex rear box on my old V8, worked a treat for sneaking home late at night, it was as quite as stock when closed The car was "fairly" loud when open as it consisted of 1" 7/8 headers to 3" catted Y pipe, to 4" single, it did have a resonator in the mid pipe and only the Varex out the back I also hard wired in a Varex dash mount switch, as the key fob thing is a pain to use when driving I wouldn't recommend giving the beans when it is closed though as it creates a large restriction in the exhaust  It also can in very handy when pulled over for "random" breath tests or just cruising past the constabulary

      How To Fix Tacho, R33 (maybe)

      By stewart1 · Posted

      Here is the before and after of the scraping/sanding of the IC pads on the tachometer board for the fix mentioned in this thread. And yes it worked fine after. Just a note if you change any components on the board the tach calibration can be wrong showing the wrong idle etc...only problem is once it is installed back in the cluster you can't get to it to adjust...ouch! My fix was to cut out the calibration pot (the blue one) from the board and run it with two wires to the fuse panel under the dash where I could adjust the idle calibration once everything was installed. And yes I soldered everything up again including the half soldered components either side of the IC in my photos
