alrighty peeps looking into buying a 300zx tt its got no history other than a recipt for exedy clutch and 18 inch alloys the car has done 70k

 

so i have to assume its not had the cam belt done so gonna have to do

 

never done one on a z

 

have done a few belts on 8v and 16v last being a celica

 

what other things are best to change when you have the belt off ?

 

new tensioner water pump ?

 

anything else just trying to factor in the cost of evrything

where did you buy your kit i have been told only to use a genuine nissan cam belt for obvious reasons lol

 

ah dont mind doing this stuff its one of the reasons i can afford to run a z cause i can tackle the oily bits i know what you mean though dosent bear thinking about does it

The first cam belt I changed was on my zed and I had no problems doing it by following one of the guides on here.

I bought my kit from Z1.

right looked on a few sites at 120 k you have to change belt tensioner camshaft seals etc etc but i am doing 60k belt change so is it just the belt ?

cool got the kit here
