had my 100k service done a few months ago on my R34 with new timing belt and all but the idler and tensioner bearing and spring were not replaced at the time as I wasn't aware they should be.

Does anyone know how much these 3 things cost from Nissan directly and approx. time/labour costs in installing them? Any reliable suppliers other than Nissan, I inly want oem/Nissan items for the bearings and spring. There's a trader on sau selling 100k kits but someone recently posted photos of the bearings he got and they don't look right (size wise, compared to the original ones).

is that 'CBC' ? I can't find a seven hills branch .. got their phone # by any chance? Actually I wouldn't mind a branch closer to the city if that is indeed the same company I've found

I've bought NSK bearings from some bearings place awhile ago.. But they're suppose to be the same as OEM so you can try those.

I got them for about $110 for Idler and Tensioner. Heard Nissan charges you through the roof for these stuff.

I think it cost the same as getting your timing belt replaced.

I paid $500 to have my timing belt replaced ..are you saying its gonna cost that much to have these bearings and spring replaced? If so f**k it.

Well... I think you should ask your mechanic if the labor is the same as timing belt... as I remember, my timing belt will void warranty if I don't get the bearings replaced as well.

Oh, if you decide to do it.. maybe think of replacing your water pump as well?

water pump WAS replaced ... I have no idea why I wasn't told about idle/tensioner bearings .. useless dickheads at 'NSP' (lets just leave it at the acronym)

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      The nissan manual says to change coolant every 2 years. Is this still necessary if you're using coolant like Penrite or nulon which has improved over the years? It says it lasts 500,000km which seems hard to believe lol.

      Nismo rear spats

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      According to the Muse website, totally different material. The originals were that horrible solid foam rubber that was used for a lot of rear spoiler/flap things, like on Mitsu Galan GSRs. Heavy, and with enough compressibility/flex that any paint on them would crack fairly quickly. The Muse ones are just ABS, which is obviously similar to GTR lower front lip, etc etc. ABS is a good choice if you have the ability to tool up for it. The only thing better might be TPU-RIM or something equivalent. The TPUs were good. Plenty of flexibility (in twisting, bending, etc) but not really in compression.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Update 24/01/2025:    Bought a GReddy/Trust Intercooler (crossflow spec-LS) that was meant for a R33 GTST $871 AUD shipped, and a GReddy Profec boost controller $483 AUD, both brand new from Japan. Being honest, I would've thought the intercooler kit was discontinued but I guess not yet. Decided due to funds + time, I'll stick with a nistune on this stock-ish setup ( stock turbo set to probably 10-12psi ) and have it run cleaner ( suspect the 3" turbo back etc has sh*tted on my economy ) for my trip down south soon for the WSBK. Hopefully I can get it all installed and tuned by then. As for who I am getting it tuned with, I will be going with Toshi, (not hearing back from DVS so scratch that). There is also Birrong Auto but not sure if they do nistune installations and if they even tune it... Otherwise, anyone know where I can get my hands on an aluminium intake/suction pipe for an RB25DET NEO?

      The german cars I've worked on seem to have that issue(in more than just headlights). Mostly where hot, but also just the insulation hardening and cracking in various places. Not abnormal from what ive seen.

      According to the Muse website, similar material, but not the same. Meant to help with stopping the paint cracking. In saying that, I had genuine ones on my last grt, and never had that problem.   Could you post pics when you get them? Very much thinking of buying the Muse ones over fibreglass.
