Timing Belt Date Code (Pitwork)

[itsali]

Hi all,

I just hit 90,000k's on my R34 GTT, and thought I'd prepare myself for the major service. Now I don't recall if the previous owner had changed the timing belt previously, so I took off the cover to have a look.

It has a PITWORK belt - photos attached - which with a bit of research, sounds to be a Nissan replacement.

It looks to be in good condition...

Now the question I have is, in the photos, can anyone decipher the date code? Is this even the date code?

Thanks in advance.

nope, its not a date code that will be of any use/relevance to your situation.

Usually the major service results in a sticker on the cam cover as a 10-15 yr old car (that is 90% likely to have had the clock wound back) it is best to err on the side of caution and do the major service.

Also because ur water pump is also bound to be of unknown age and km.

If either one lets go its a blown motor.

Best to be safe n do it and have the piece of mind instead of driving around a potential grenade n the worry that comes with that.

Iv had a mate whos car was within the service interval (as indicated by the sticker on the cam cover) of the major service but the water pump let go...

Thanks jjman.

As you said, better safe than sorry - ordered a new belt + pump

too many people on here seem to run with the 'she'll be right'/i wanted sik power with mad boost but dont want to pay so much to maintain it...
