Well... went to the drags this arvo... had a lot of fun :)

Ran a 13.9 @ 101mph (2.2 60') on 9psi with a misfire issue between 4-5rpm. Not to mention an exhaust manifold gasket leak...

... which got worse on my last run so I had to bail.

This is without the AFC or anything....or the rest of the exhaust done yet.

Next time I go down I'll have an AFC installed and Tuned, A dump Pipe, and a de-cat-de-centre muffler pipe also.

I dont see a 13.5ish being out of the question. There is plenty more go left in it I think....

Some good results for bully, and GOT BOOST and Lagwagon also :(

Oh yeah, and the track was slippery as hell.... had wheelspin most of 2nd ugh! wonder how much better the time would be with more grip?

But now, I need an exhaust manifold gasket to suit the RB25. Anyone know the type/model number and where I can get one from ?

good mph. I ran my 33 last night at willowbank. Ran a 13.56@100mph. only got boost controller, 3 inch not got a dump pipe, and k&n pod. im happy with the time and no doubt that u will get into the low 13's dude just gotta hook up right off the line. I went down to stock wheels for the meet and when i ran my best time it hooked up well just abit of spin into second. Its all in the launch matey ive learned that. Good luck anyhow

Yeah, i was dam suprised at such a good time, but could only run 9psi cos the misfire would get really bad!

and Yep. Lowered tyres to about 22-23psi....

... then dumped the clutch at 3grand off the line.... f*ck slipping it, i got worse times that way!

my clutch screwed up on my last run. I ran a 13.98@83mph lol

weird had to roll down to the very end and was stuck there for awhile. turned the car off put it in gear started it up in gear coz i couldnt select a gear with the car on(no peddle) and then drove up the return road got into 3rd using no clutch pushed in the clutch while still accelarating and it went clunk and came good??? How bizzare but now i just went to the drift day today and on the way up it was slipping badly on the highway. 3rd n up just slips :)

Kym, Well done, I knew that car was much quicker after seeing it on the last cruise, but there will be plenty of improvement with some of those bugs fixed.

Got Boost, Excellent time mate, goes to show that the RB26 conversion was well worth it, and I'm sure there is plenty more left in it when you decide to push it harder:D

Interesting day to say the least, Track was like ice, the return road had more grip in it. Got a best time of 13.05 with 2.3 60ft at 113 mph so the mph is 3 mph better then my best et, with 60 foot being .4 off my best, so there is a mid 12 in there somewhere.

On my Second pass throw it into 3rd, add power, and tail end decides to go wall ward at 130-140 kph. Interesting stuff indeed

    • 1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
