Hi All,

I have been searching all night for some details on how to change a timing belt on an RB engine?

From what I gather, it is a matter of removing the radiator (for space and not a big issue whne planning on flushing the coolant at the same time) then the fan belts, covers and the timing cover...

Can anyone give me some further detail before I start or point me to a page with a detailed run-down??

Would be awesome if someone could show me where to download a workshop manual!!! :D

I have an R32 GTS-t...

THANKS in advance!!

I just got my 33 done the other week and I replaced the timing belt water pump and tensioner pully. I also found out while everything was out that the idler bearing was stuffed and needed replacing too. Unfortuantely I had to use a genuine one and from nissan they cost $280. The radiator was removed flushed and topped up with new coolant.

I was extremely happy with the work done and if your unsure or not mechanically minded its probably easier to get it done by a workshop.

Cheers

This is a how to in the Stagea section, with pictures from the Nissan workshop manual. The RB25DET is pretty much the same as the RB20DET, except for the VVT on the inlet camshaft.

    • I might have to shoot them an email. Pity the exchange rate is so bad at the moment. BTW, thanks for posting that table makes interesting reading. 
    • Add these Sensors -Wideband, Oil Pressure, Fuel pressure, Intake air temp Good inspection of ignition system of coils, plugs and loom (12v feed and good ground)- a r35 kit is best bang for buck upgrade. A decent tuner should be able to see any issues with the trigger system- a link has good filtering but a good simple upgrade is the nz wiring bolt in kit. Check and replace all the fuel filters- you would be surprised at intank filter after a few years. Also good to check for any leaks on vac hoses and pipe work as has been said. No need to go overboard and spend big $$$ to enjoy the car. A quality tuner is getting harder to find as anyone with a laptop thinks they are a tuner. A link has great features to check sensor voltages and frequency inputs and easy to see live by pressing f12. The link can do a TPS & RPM fuel/ignition mapping on ITB cars then add a 4D table with MAP and ability to add a 5D to it (can help with economy at cruise with wheel speed vs TPS) Where are you located as that will help narrow down a good tuner ?
    • Reviving an old thread, I reckon my stagea is starting to slip. Car usually gets parked on a hill, narrow driveway so cant go up the driveway smoothly, anyhows, lately first gear feels "sluggish"? Not responsive. Feels like I gotta run the engine more than usual to get off the line...  Any recommendations for transmission servicing in Sydney? Or possibly just an excuse to go manual ?
    • Well, moulded carpets should fit well if the buck they use is the right shape. The finish is then just a case of stiching the trim around the edges. Shuoldn't be too hard to get it right. Back in the day, replacement carpets were all "fitted", in that they were stitched together, with cuts and slices taken out to make them form the shapes. Many more opportunities to get it wrong, hence all the concern over good vendors and bad vendors.
