More info...? has your timing belt got the white lines on it? (there should be 2)

na no white marks

what about dots, or any marks at all?

[SKiT_R31]

If there arent, youll have to count teeth, between the top timing mark on the cam gear and the timing groove on the crank. There should be 53 teeth between them.

This might give some info too, http://wiki.r31skylineclub.com/index.php?t...ming_belt#RB30E

there is a solid line and a doted line

[SKiT_R31]

Line the solid line up with the mark on the crank and the dotted line up with the dot on the cam gear............

The easiest way is to line the crank mark up on the crank gear with the mark on the oil pump/block.

Then line the cam gear dot on the cam gear up with the mark on the timing cover (On both cams) put the belt on. turn the crank (By hand) 2 full turns, and check the timing marks, if it lines up. Job done. If it doesn't, pull the belt, realign, try again.

That's the PROPER way to line it up.
