Todays results from a track day at Sandown. Look what's above the m2 competition. Yes the 33 is nowhere near stock but neither is the bm. Johnny, your boat would chop both those cars and you'd have plenty of $ left for hookers and coke.Screenshot_20200309_181905_com.android.chrome.thumb.jpg.bd2ee49195d9de65eeb88a8178ebc14a.jpg

I forgot what my Skyline was for ! Ever get that felling ? Being a daily driven R33 you tend to loose sight of what its like to really drive it. So for the last five Saturdays in a row

Na poofs are more impressed by bm's and golf r's. Chicks love skyline's, the spool gets em wet and the panties drop.

I'm going to the drag strip tomorrow Pete, hope you're there to support me!

Also shameless plug, who needs a 180AMP alternator? these ones:

Same as what Andrew Hawkins has in his car... PM me I can do a mad price.

Ive just shown my boss ( who is a BMW fanatic through and through ) those Sandown results and pointed out that the R33 GTST is faster than the BMW M2 Comp !

He wouldn't believe it ! 

Gotta luv it !

To add to that, my own 33 gtst with a simple highflow turbo has run a 1:22.7  (2 tenths off that m2), driven to and from track and is a daily driver albeit slightly less comfortable than an m2 comp.

But won’t impress chicks, just dudes, so there is that to consider.....

I'll try Johnny but we are running trial batches of hand sanitizers this arvo.

So I'll see how I go !

So . . . . . if you threw $40K at your skyline how fast would it be ?

AND youd have a $100K in change ! Yay !

I reckon 40k will get me to the top of that time sheet. Close enough to it anyway.

Skylines have been doing sub 1:20's for many years, I remember old Big Red R32 videos cracking 1:16's.

This is heavily driver and balls specific at least at Sandown... but yes M2's aren't actually that amazing in the real world. They will get dispatched quite easily by a Mustang with tyres: (which is what the PP2 setup is)

M2's are at 1:22, 1:25 and 1:30, damn driver mod skewing the results :P

Corvid19 has destroyed my Putty Rd adventures !

I think I've now got a form of driving cabin fever.

What to do . . . . . . . 

This has been keeping me sane with the tracks closed ATM. Plenty of different games with mods out there for hills driving.
100% worth the cost and less likely to be pulled over :4_joy:

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By Duncan · Posted

      This is the clearest explanation out of those: Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension. Basically you turn the engine with the tensioner bolt loose, then use the allen key to hold it while you torque it up. And yes after that a good guide is being able to twist it 90o in one of the long free lengths of the belt

      good choice....I have a set of those and use them all the time including on this job. Plus, no-one wants a damaged nipple

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Thanks all, went with nismo strengthened belt and all genuine nissan idler and tensioner Question on RB25DET Neo Timing Tensioner: I have a question about the RB25DET Neo timing tensioner. In one of the videos (minute 20 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17y37BB9xnA and minute 27 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb99s2E9xUg), the process suggests tightening the tensioner pulley installation bolt to the specified torque initially, and then loosening it slightly to allow the spring to set the correct tension. Is this the correct approach? The R33 workshop manual on page 74 states: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. The way this is written is confusing. Does this mean: Undo the nut, then reduce the tension by turning clockwise? Snug the nut so it stays in position without applying tension to the belt while removing the timing belt? The manual wording makes it sound like the nut will tighten automatically when you turn the tensioner clockwise , which is unclear to me.   Timing Belt Tension Adjustment Process: After loosening the tensioner nut, you turn the engine two full rotations by hand, which should set the correct tension. Once the tension is set, you tighten the bolt to 43 N·m (4.4 kg·m). Before tightening, you need to insert the Allen key into the hexagonal hole to hold the pulley in place while tightening the bolt. In one of the videos, it’s mentioned that you should twist the belt side to side, or turn it slightly to check if the tension is correct. The belt should turn halfway, indicating the right tension. However, I know that twisting or turning the belt is not a good idea. What are your thoughts on this? Finally, how can I ensure the belt isn’t overtightened? I’ve seen many cases where people have overtightened the timing belt.   Manual Excerpts: Page 74: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. Remove the timing belt from each pulley. Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension.

      Takes a few minutes to malke one. Wood, or steel, or a wrap strap with some strategically placed solids to provide teh drive onto the ribs.

      I would strongly suggest using the correct tool. They are not expensive and make the job much easier and don't damage the lock ring. Google "fuel tank lock ring removal tool" to see what I'm talking about.
