Gates Timing Belt Kit (inc Water Pump And Tensioners)

[ifixedit]

Hi,

I'm gonna replace timing belt soon, was told to do water pump at same time..

For a skyline r34gtt rb25det

I found on ebay a set costs around 230 bucks for the lot..

Timing belt

Tensioners

Water pump

Will this be ok for a stock daily driver car?

Here is a link.. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=251865054660&alt=web

If this is not recommended can someone advise a better set on ebay..

Thankyou guys

Edit: the link provided says the pump is not compatible with my car but another listing is..

But in general these are not fake crap are they?

Should be good, steer clear of chinese copies. I had one [water pump] installed [i was away from home base at the time] and it only lasted 12 months.

Golebys parts - gates belt, tensioner, nsk idler, 2x cam seals, crank seal - $180

Kudos - genuine pump - $160

Ebay - gates 3x ancillary belts - $60?

I contemplated a gates pump as their pressure lines, belts etc are amazing and are used on all big machinery. But after a lot of research it seems aftermarket pumps are a lucky dip. For an extra $100 you could have had a genuine pump that will have no problems.

Have you fitted a kevlar belt before?

If not Google "over tensioned Rb cam belt noises", might save you doing the job twice.

I'd think about seal replacement too. I never touch a seal if it's working OK with no weeping.

The oil pump seal in particular may cause some grief when fitting.

With any of these water pump kits, you have to be positive you're getting the correct pump as far as that 6mm bolt up top goes. The e-bay photo isn't clear enough to see if the pump has the hole slotted.

Yeah beware of RB30 pumps sold as fitting an RB25/26, they will but the top bolt doesn't line up - get one for an RB25/26. And I'm with jiffo, I didn't replace my seal, it was fine and 'if it ain't broke don't fix it'.

Kudos are great to deal with. You can just buy off their website though. They are on here as well i believe

[timmy_89]

Highly recommend buying from Kudos as well.

Good to know

Thanks fellas..

Is there any other low cost bits I should do while doing timing belt?

Such as thermostat?

[tridentt150v]

Nah, not really. A good tension wrench for the HB bolt is about all!!!
