Hey guys, for those who have seen the Alcon's motorsport-spec monoblock calipers with the temperature indicator on them, but didn't fancy shelling out $10k for the brakes, you can buy the stick on caliper temperature indicators, see below. Very handy =)

yeah they are good. have been available for years. I use different ones for different things. mocal make a heap of different ranges. stick them on radiator, oil cooler, shock body, calipers of course. anything that you want to know the temp of. just need to buy the appropriate heat range sticker for the job.

they come in degrees C too which is easy for metric minded folk like us too. ;)

Sounds like a great idea! Where do you source the Mocal ones from ??

cheers...

hey John, i've bought them from thinkauto (www.thinkauto.com) in the past, but since those guys are in the UK it's a bit pricey to just oder stickers (thought I have done it once!), I used to get them with other bits. But I have seen in NSW the guys that do trackside sales (race and rally - speedzone and perhaps revolution etc) do sell them too. Could also try earls in silverwater they probably have them. it's nice being in C and with different ranges of temp for different things.

cool. in that case it probably is worth getting them from think auto. I think they are about 1-2 pound each and postage maybe 5-10pound.

Should have been more clear, this is for a booklet of 16 stickers...

yeah the paint is good. not sure I'd say it's more useful. they are both good for different purposes. i'd use paint on rotors for example but for a radiator the stickers work great. they work fine on calipers too. I have noticed the paint does go off after some time.

    • Nissan/Pitwork is fine stuff. HKS is just marketing wank. I personally wouldn't do the idler if it is already new. If it looks and feels fine, it is fine. But as D says - it's cheap to add it to the job. The water pump ditto. Even more so. If it show no signs of problems, then it is nearly new - leave it.
    • 1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
