Where you off to?

i'm heading home tomorrow

and flying back to rome in 2 weeks.

comeon man don't be talkin like you couldn't afford shit like that if you wanted it

Yeah I could, but to say they're not expensive toys is a bit much. A jet ski is 100% a toy, it serves absolutely no other purpose, so to spend 20k on something that is only a toy, and will only get used a few months a year living in Melbourne, it's an expensive toy to have..

well worth it.

i got laid ONCE after buying it! you could be ME! if you had a jet ski.

dez you miserable f**k, buy my ski.

I already told you twice I'd buy it. I've got the $1000 sitting here waiting

True but there's heapsss of people with $20k+ toys - weekend cars, bikes, boats, jet skis etc. agree it's wasteful potentially but it's not overly expensive if it's something people want it's easy to achieve

OK a question for the increasing financial planning folk

Mate is in a very bad situation

Bank is repoing his car next week

Apparently house soon

So I'm trying to sort him out with a job at work

However we do a financial check lucky only a simple one for sales

Will this come up as a bankruptcy or is he ok

Cheers

    • 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!
