Belagrion to compare you mums pulsar to this situation is like comparing chalk with shit...please put some perspective into the situation, at the end of the day it comes down to experience and maturity...and if I did see you doing the above in ya mums car I would be the first to bag you out :lol:

I think his point is,

It doesn't matter what car you have,

if you think you can drive like Ayrton Senna,

you're gonna end up like Ayrton Senna.

Yes Mud I realise his point, however, it took you to word it better... ;)

I think there are alot of shared views on here, and they seem to be getting OFF TOPIC again.

Liam has the insurance company issued you with any confirmation of payout for the BER vehicle...??

my point bob, was aimed at the person who claimed rwd cars are dangerous in the wet as the ass steps out and they get wheelspin.

ANYTHING is dangerous in the wet and can achieve wheelspin with minimal effort. If you drive sensibly in the wet then your chances of an accident are vastly minimised.

would you like me to go back and make sure the if was in bold and underlined to clarify that i was making a point and not stating what i do?

mud your point is of the same vein, you drive with recklessness or with skills you dont posses then you too will come unstuck.

altho chances of your being hit in the head with a suspension arm are fairly remote unless your hangin round in josh's garage.

no...not yet, the assessor will send his results off to them tomorow, then they determine what happens with the payout.

LOL!

Some people rather get rid of it as quickly as possible so they can get their next car. I know of one dude who wrote off his silvia and wanted to get rid of it quickly (did it within 8 days) and moved onto buyin a r33.

i fail to see how you find it hard to get traction in the wet. i can drive my s13 which is set up to drift in the wet and i can get traction no problems, i can drive it safely in the wet with no hassle.

my skyline has in the vicinity of 350rwhp and this too i have no problem driving in the wet,

if i wanted to i can make my mums 00 pulsar wheelspin madly in the wet and get the tail out round corners, does this make a pulsar a bad car and a powerful car that is hard to drive in the wet? no it does not.

i think u misunderstood me. what i was saying was that if u cant control ur foot in the wet, problem happens.( its just easier for a S15 or any turbo RWD cars to get wheel spin in the wet) specially for ppl who have only got their license not very long ago.

thats what i was sayin, there is nothin wrong with s15s. i had been driving that car for a year and did not have a single accident b4 i sold it.

y does every young person think a GTR will turn them into an F1 driver?? its starting to get to me....

and y is everyone so abusive nowadays? i only mentioned buying a GTR and now i got paid out. first of all, i did NOT cause the accident; then i did NOT say im a F1 driver. y cant i just happen to like GTRs? so should i just give up and buy a echo or somthing just becoz im not over 30 and u think i cant drive ?

The assessor has gotten into contact with me today and the car is definately being written-off for the total amount that it was insured for. All that needs to happen now is the claim will be finalised and they will post a cheque out to me. Ive also been told that i can keep my rims that are on the car by swapping them over with the original set, which i will be doing tomorow.

So it looks as though everything has worked out for the best and the turn around was extremely fast :D

    • 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!
