HEY GUYS! Ive been asked what Z I had when Ive come to service my car. I said I think its the Z32 he said thats a quad cam engine, needed to know for changing the cam belt.

 

Although on the engine it just says nissan 24v twin cam.

 

my car is a 91 Jspec 300zx non turbo SWB.

 

VG30DE engine model?

 

But is it two per banks as in quadcam ?

 

Sorry newbie trying to learn and get a cheap service.

 

Is £360 a lot for a cam belt change?

Whats the matter mate? Not had any lately?

 

If i was a trader and I wanted to trade on here, Then I would go through the relevant channels. But seeing as i'm not, why would I?

Not that it's any of your bussiness, But I work for the owner of the small ind est where "Castle Auto's" is situated.... The owner of which, happens to be the same family.

The Tel No given is the workshop, but i'm nearly allways no further than a minuite or so away going about my totally non-"car trade" related work.

 

As for not being suscribed..... I did'nt realise that it had now become obligatory.

 

Unless I have missed the point here, I thought that this was a virtual gathering of owners of the Z32 to meet other owners, ask advise, sort problems etc. So as an owner of one of these cars in the same area as another owner, I took it upon myself to enlighten him to the fact that there is a garage local to him, that can help him out with his current problem.

I now realise that I should have asked your permission first... I'm sorry.

 

Anyway, off to bed...... It is a school night afterall

 

Talk about how to drive people away!

Funny you say that iv not had much lately, misses has just given birth so its a bit messy for me to be putting it in! :D

TBH i dont care to much, I know when people put items up for sale it gets moderated if there not a paid up member/trader, i dont see the differance?

 

you stay if you want makes no odds to me :rofl: ;)

Christ this is very confusing

 

Who is Duff and does anyone have his details?

Hello mate

Bring it down to us at castle autos in north baddesley. Very familure with the VG30's NA's and TT's along with the JZA80 supras th RB skylines etc.

 

Best thing is to meet the people yourself and have a look at the cars they lookafter, and decide for yourself.

 

Give us a call and speak to Rob (owner) or myself Brian on 02380 740242.

At least we're local to you and youve lost nothing by coming to see us.

 

All the best

 

Errr it looks like you work there and are advertising your business to me and anyone else who can read.

You even said you're on the same number as the owner LOL

If you're nothing to do with them what's all the "us" about?? :slap:

Next post is some excuse about you working there and being part of the same family... Hmmmm :rofl:

Either way, Greg was just explaining the rules so no need to throw your toys out the pram ;)

He might not get any :D but he's probably worked on more Z engines than most of the other "specialists" in the UK.

 

Forum rules are there for a reason and before it was run this way we had people using the site as free advertising and posting their stuff for sale without taking part in the forum.

Traders pay to sell their services on here as with many clubs.

Christ this is very confusing

 

Who is Duff and does anyone have his details?

 

Andy Duff is on here and does mobile servicing.

Really knows his stuff :)

Not sure if you can send PM's on here but his user name is strangely enough "andyduff" LOL

I'm sure he'll be along to give you his details.

 

There's no way of knowing if the belt has been changed without stripping it all down, but as has been said the 60K service involves a lot more than just changing the belt so try to find out if it's been done.

Are you just wanting to change the belt for peace of mind or because it's due?
