Hey all,

I have built an RB30DET and put it in my girlfriends S13; I was intending to use the factory tensioner and idler locations (with 2 tensioners and 150 tooth belt) but upon test cranking it tries to skip teeth (and tightening it further causes self clearance issues...).

I'm happy to pay the going rate for your services, just need a hole drilled and a thread tapped, sometime on the weekend if possible?

The engine IS in the car but I have removed the bumper/cooler/radiator support so it shouldn't be an issue, but at worst I have a hoist and can lift it off the mounts.

I would do it myself but the I do not have the equipment and It's probably not a good idea for a first time drill and tap to be done on something as critical as a timing belt tensioner :P.

Cheers,

PM me or Post for interest

      R34 GTT Central Locking Pains

      Not sure if this helps but I had a similar issue where one of the doors wouldn't lock unless I pressed the lock key twice. Turns out the door actuators were f**ked. In the Nissan service book it says to lube it every now and again, I guess put a bit a bit of wd-40. I replaced mine and haven't had a problem since.

      Hicas ball joint install tool

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      2 things. 1. If you're going to buy a ball joint puller/pusher tool that is not advertised as being for the purpose you intend to use it for, then it is up to you to make sure, either before you buy, or after you first try (and possibly fail) that it will work for that task. 2. WTF? Putting HICAS balljoints back into a car implies retaining HICAS, which is just....dumb. HICAS can lick my left one.

      After cleaning the contacts in the remote, if it has rubber carbon pads on the buttons, give them a little wipe with a 2B pencil to add some fresh carbon back. Just a little wipe. Not too much.

      The one door lock not working intermittently sounds odd. But for the other issues I'd suggest to clean the contacts and everything on the little board inside the fob. I had the same issue with unlock working but not lock, and that solved it. It brings such a quality of life change to be able to lock and unlock the car like a normal person
