have a rb30det

due to a previouse person( who f**kup tapping a hole) i cant use the top tentioner location so i have to go the lower tentioner location

i got the belt that the guide says to use however the teath on it have a curved edges

instead of the standard trapazoidal shap(triangle with top cut off)

so the belt floats on the cam gears and lower sprocket..( eg not right)

have i got the wrong belt?

does anyone have the correct part number??

the belt i have is 1200mm long 150 teeth 8mm pitch

help please???

Im pretty sure its HTD profile you want.

I messed around with some ca20 twin cams a while ago and got my belts from econobelt

http://www.econobelt.com/Q460/RFQ/default....ge=tbelt/12.htm

they do a standard 20/30/50mm width for $23 usd, or they do custom width for a little more, i think i paid around $30 each. you need 25mm for RB

Im sure Gates australia could help you tho, try giving them a ring

MMM that looks positive fatz

chop chop boy

hope fully is exactually what we require

that's the same belt i have..

it fits, majorly tight to put on but it fits

i noticed the same thing with the teeth but so far the car has seen consistant revs to about 5500rpm while getting a running tune and it hasn't moved.

to get it on we needed 1 person holding the tensioner and belt and pushing in, the other person has a ratchet ready to screw it in

good luck

Glad to hear you got it sorted out.

I just thought I should mention to be very careful when trying to choose an equivalent timing belt of a different length for your car. I only say that as there are about 10+ different styles of curved tooth profiles for automotive timing belts out there. Unless it actually says HTD on the back of your belt it will not be easy (near impossible) to identify exactly which one you need. So as mentioned above if you're unsure then contact Gates or someone similar to find out what the standard belt tooth profile is.

If you did have a HTD belt don't just go to an industrial belt supplier and find an equivalent one either. The automotive belts are typically designed to cope with much higher temps.

What even better is that it's up and running and if fatz can NOT be drunk for 1 night he might actually come up to shit'sville(newcastle) and drive the thing home next weekend.

WOOHOO

and take all the associated junk with him. hehe

    • Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 🤣 And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 🤪
    • Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s
    • Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues. 
    • What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly  
    • I've never done dial in's just straight up, whatever that's called. I'm far from a drag (racing ) expert.
