apparently the belt is the cheapest part...with labor at like $400-$450 from what ive heard

$400-450 + the belt is a rip off. Most places will do it for $350 including a genuine Nissan belt.

Give Ice Performance a call (just thought I'd beat everyone to saying that! :D )

Why pay performance shop prices to do basic servicing?

those prices are outragious.  rb25's are pretty simple to work on

don't go to ice,  just take it to any mechanic.

I was just throwing the customary "Go to Ice" comment that always seems to pop up.

When I spoke to them, they quoted me the same as JSV and another place in Mitcham.

Shop around a bit, like they said, its not the most complex engine to work on.

Hey Ben

I called that place, they said it was $350 or less if i provide the belt?? Bit strange.

      You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.

      98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.

      95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
