Hey guys I have a 95 GTS25T which is about to go in for a Cambelt replacement. I bought a kit online without checking the parts first (I know silly) but it came with a Mitsuboshi timing belt, GMB tensioner and idler, and a Seiken water pump. I know these parts are probably the cheapest available to fit but will they be ok? Its running standard boost, no intercooler or anything mods are just exhaust, adjusties and pod filter and a few other small things. I also dont plan on drifting every single corner >:) just a few when its wet. Please any help as to how long these parts would compare to a standard Nissan belt?

 

Thanks

most of those parts might be ok but the water pump...personally i would only ever go genuine nissan as i purchased a 'protex' pump and it only lasted 25,000kms [emoji22][emoji22] never again will i skimp on parts. What you think you save on cheap parts will potentially cost you a lot more in the long run.

    • Did you manage to fix the problem? I’m having the same issue but everything is new in my gearbox   
    • Was looking for some help Recently got the speedtek gearset installed all gears work fine goes in and out of gears smoothly, only issue is that it crunches from the downshift from 5th to 4th. Also had new uni clutch installed aswell track edition   any help will be appreciated   
    • My plan is to go the pink option. But still add the 4th fitting near the oil cap and just cap it off for now.  That way I can add 2 extra to the sump and have 4 dedicated breathers/drains if I ever remove the sump for any reason. 
    • Oh, yeah, look - here's the thing. You always replace the tensioner when you're going in there to replace a belt....under normal circumstances. You want to make sure it is good and safe, and that you don't create a reason to take the front of the bloody motor apart again. But in this case, OP is replacing a belt that has aged out on time, not usage. The belt is a million miles away from aging out on usage. The belt gets a time "limit" merely because it is made of rubber and can degrade naturally. The tensioner? Not so much. I reckon it could last forever on the current usage pattern. So I reckon if the thing is going to continue to get used at the same rate, replacing the tensioner is somewhat gratuitous. Would I replace it if I was doing it on my car right now? Hell yes. Because my car does 10-20 thousand kays a year. So it's all going to be the same thrashedness. Would I YOLO it on OP's car. More than likely.
    • I dunno. I think any one of those from each side to sump is probably enough. Remember - this is about creating a path for gas flow up from the sump to the cam covers. That gas flow then has to leave via the lines to the catch can. There's probably little point in providing 100% more capacity from sump up to covers cf. what you have from there to the catch can. Put in the 3 convenient ones? Any which way that you see fit. That'd be my thoughts.
