Would anyone mind two more people tagging along? My brother and I will be vacationing in Japan in January and one of the highlights of our trip will be going to the TAS. We will be leaving from California U.S. and will be in Japan Jan. 11-19.

We're planning on staying at the Shiba Hotel (same as CircusMonkey :()

Since this is our first trip out there, we plan on doing a bunch of toursit stuff, so we shouldn't be much of a bother to you guys.

Hey, I will be going too with my gf and another of my mate with some of his friends from Singapore. Think I stated in another thread but I'm being missed out in this thread!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arrival Narita 13th Jan, Departure 17th Jan

Still awaiting confirmation for hotel room at Shinjuku Vintage (AU$110). Anyone has better recommendations on pricing and the proximity nearest to Shinjuku?

Will be visiting TAS on the Sat for a day only due to tight schedule as I'm doing some usual tourist rounds.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Will be super duper grateful if anyone can let me in on the garages and workshops visit list and also the itinerary for Sat.

Cheers

Hey Blitz,

I will be staying at the hotel (new T) on the 14th, we fly out the next day so Friday is the only day I can have a look around. What are you guys up to on Fri??

Ken

Hi Ken,

Nick (blitz) and I are travelling to Japan together. I don't know yet what Nick has planned for us yet on the friday, but I'm sure we could meet up at some point. See you there.

Richard

    • 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.
    • I would strongly suggest using the correct tool. They are not expensive and make the job much easier and don't damage the lock ring. Google "fuel tank lock ring removal tool" to see what I'm talking about.
