My mate wants one aswell - so now I'll grab 2 for R33. What is the postage costs for 2?I reckon we'll hit the $110 mark at this rate. 15 now 5 more to go.... :(

At this rate I reckon we will hit the $120 dollar mark... awesome.. Unfortunately I  will have a lot of posting to do :(

I have just notified everyone who was interested. If you have not received an email or PM then PM me so I can send you the details.

Also I have extended the deadline till the end of the week possible early depending on when people get back to me. So if somebody out there still wants a short shift kit let me know. They will be $120 each plus 13 for p&h.

Those that got Rafael's e-mail will now know there is some doubt whether these kits will fit an R32 GTR. I've indicated that I'm not prepared to continue with my purchase unless it can be confirmed that it will fit without problems - is there someone in Brisbane with an R32 GTR and who is planning to buy that can get the situation confirmed one way or another ??.

With the number planning to purchase I don't see why one or two dropping out should make any difference to the final price.

Good Luck.

    • Nissan/Pitwork is fine stuff. HKS is just marketing wank. I personally wouldn't do the idler if it is already new. If it looks and feels fine, it is fine. But as D says - it's cheap to add it to the job. The water pump ditto. Even more so. If it show no signs of problems, then it is nearly new - leave it.
    • 1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
