Recommended Brands Of R33 Timing Belts And Tensioners

[TUF250]

Hi,

I have bought myself an R33 gts-t with 86,000ks on the clock.

I was tol although its early it would be a good idea to change the timing belt and tentioner.

Is this generally recommended or should I wait for the 100,000?

My question is do people have a brand they recommend over another? (ie gates racing?)

I want to do the tentioner as well, can you buy these as a kit? if so where do i get them from and how much should i expect to pay?

What should i expect to pay to have one installed? (just so i dont get ripped off)

thanks SAU members!

Get Nissan one, Gates can be noisy.

Buy a Dayco kit of Ebay champ.

the dayco ones are supposed to be good? how much are the nissan kits?

ok I have some info here after ringing nissan and need some conformation:

I was told I MUST replace these things and these would be the prices... my questions are these resonable prices and do I have to replace all of these?

Timing Belt - $105 +GST

Timing Belt Tensioner - $118 +GST

Idler Pulley - $300 +GST

Cam seals - $21 each +GST

dos this sound reasonable and do I need to replace all these? I would like to go genuine but thats alot of money if these dayco or gates ones are good quality also

PS they quoted me $214 +GST for an oxygen sensor.. is this over the top and should i go an NGK for half the price or are they no where near as good?

thanks!

nissan...

you should replace the whole lot....

Nissan belt $90 delivered Australia wide from NIZZBITS.

Tensioner and idler from any bearing supplier, just check the NSK numbers from the DIY thread.

OR

Buy a Gates or Dayco kit which will come with all the above plus crank and cam seals.

Dayco kits been fine in my car for past 40,000k!

Didnt replace any of the three cam seals either.

As for 02 sensor, have a search EL falcon one I think it is is exactly the same just need to chop the plug and join yours to it champ :-)
