I was quoted 1200 for timing belt I think pulleys all fuilds an filters change an 2000 at another place I'm in Perth so might b a bit more expensive

Try garage 101 and c- red. Ur getting ripped only costs about $550-600

Oil + Filter + Fuel Filter + spark plugs + airfilter is all easy DIY bonding with your baby. saves labour cost.

Belts (Fan, Power Steering, A/C) is also a DIY jobby. saves labour cost.

Timing belt is more fiddly and I am Not confident (although many on here wouid say DIY it) so I'll pay.

I supplied the Timing belt kit, they supply the water pump.

(Roughly) - $450 labour + $175 for pump + coolant + miscellaneous... I'm guessing around $800ish all up?

I had a place quote me $1500 labour to do the timing chain on my ex Bluebird (1994) they reckoned engine out. I honestly believe they just didn't want the job.

I helped a mate do it for 2 bottles of wine and I got the kit from Repco. Engine in. :)

    • Um. No. Since Matt introduced the TIM it has become a lot easier to deal with the consequences of changing K for AFM and injector swaps. Then, tuning is a f**king doddle. No-one needs to know or care how many grams of air are flowing or any other bullshit. Need more fuel in a cell? Add more fuel. Need more timing in a cell. Add more timing. Need to adjust any of the other tables for warm up and so on? No harder than anything else. Sure - it's not an ECU system for starting from scratch on an arbitrary engine. But then.....it was never supposed to be, not recommended for, and almost never used that way. So.... On your engine, in particular, Nistune/Nissan OEM is about as sophisticated and difficult as banging 2 rocks together. Those ECUs are primitive and simple. There is nothing difficult there. I learnt Nistune from scratch, created new maps with extended axes, interpolated/extrapolated the original maps onto them and tuned my RB20 (basically the same ECU as your 26 ECU) all by myself, more than 20 years ago. And that was long before even TIM.
    • Set of knee pads for a R34. Will fit every model I think. Comes with everything except the rubber covers for the bolt holes. Still in great condition. You will need to drill holes to mount these or use double sided tape. I can do free shipping and will be shipping from the Netherlands with tracking.
    • Nistune needs something like an entire excel spreadsheet in which you build an abstraction layer that converts everything from real units you can actually measure into all of the various tables. The number of unexpected dependencies hiding in how the Nissan ECUs do math is a pretty impressive optimization trick for 8-bit MCUs but good god is it awful to actually work with in practice.
