Since there is quite a few of us who live out western Sydney way is anyone keen for a meet and greet next Saturday 26th June in the blacktown area? Possibly at the mcdonalds on sunnyholt rd blacktown near the m7? Around 12? Would be good to meet the other stagea owners in the area.

What do you think peeps?

Hey mate,

Has been a while! My back is feeling awesome too thanking you :)

Yeah I have seen it, I was thinking a little meet and great before the big event since there is a lot of us who live around the Blacktown area.

Hope your well mate.

Sounds alright to me, Teren. Nice and close to home, and the right time of the day (I'm busy both Friday and Saturday night, so those are ruled out).

Prospect reservoir would have been a nice venue but far too many speed bumps and raised sections of road for Teren to negotiate :rolleyes:

A few hours at a guess mate. 0409077592 txt me tomorrow and I'll let you know everyones intentions when we are there.

Are you just in the 33? Or is the canary possibly comming?

Ok, I will more than likely be there.

Car has just had a quick wash, no chamois or window clean tho so it's still going to look gritty lol

Oh well, sh!t happens eh!

LOL, got in my car to go out to lunch today, and the battery is dead, even though it ran fine last night! It's been on charge since lunch time, and I think I'll be carrying some jumper leads or parking on a hill tomorrow, just in case...

And don't let the meeting point turn you off, once we have all arrived we can always discuss a cruise to somewhere else!

Hope to see other M35's, it's starting to look like I'll be an orphan :P

Huge turn-out let me tell you!

2 cars :|

Teren (Tangents) got called into work, the only people to show up was myself and James (MasterJDoggy).

Oh well, maybe next time eh!

    • This is the clearest explanation out of those: Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension. Basically you turn the engine with the tensioner bolt loose, then use the allen key to hold it while you torque it up. And yes after that a good guide is being able to twist it 90o in one of the long free lengths of the belt
    • good choice....I have a set of those and use them all the time including on this job. Plus, no-one wants a damaged nipple
    • Thanks all, went with nismo strengthened belt and all genuine nissan idler and tensioner Question on RB25DET Neo Timing Tensioner: I have a question about the RB25DET Neo timing tensioner. In one of the videos (minute 20 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17y37BB9xnA and minute 27 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb99s2E9xUg), the process suggests tightening the tensioner pulley installation bolt to the specified torque initially, and then loosening it slightly to allow the spring to set the correct tension. Is this the correct approach? The R33 workshop manual on page 74 states: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. The way this is written is confusing. Does this mean: Undo the nut, then reduce the tension by turning clockwise? Snug the nut so it stays in position without applying tension to the belt while removing the timing belt? The manual wording makes it sound like the nut will tighten automatically when you turn the tensioner clockwise , which is unclear to me.   Timing Belt Tension Adjustment Process: After loosening the tensioner nut, you turn the engine two full rotations by hand, which should set the correct tension. Once the tension is set, you tighten the bolt to 43 N·m (4.4 kg·m). Before tightening, you need to insert the Allen key into the hexagonal hole to hold the pulley in place while tightening the bolt. In one of the videos, it’s mentioned that you should twist the belt side to side, or turn it slightly to check if the tension is correct. The belt should turn halfway, indicating the right tension. However, I know that twisting or turning the belt is not a good idea. What are your thoughts on this? Finally, how can I ensure the belt isn’t overtightened? I’ve seen many cases where people have overtightened the timing belt.   Manual Excerpts: Page 74: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. Remove the timing belt from each pulley. Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension.
    • Takes a few minutes to malke one. Wood, or steel, or a wrap strap with some strategically placed solids to provide teh drive onto the ribs.
