I have a Jap import 300ZX TT it has no history of a cambelt change and I would rather get it done ASAP, I was wondering if any of you who live in Surrey area would take on the task and how much would it cost me including parts?

 

and if it's an engine out, would it be possible if you could give the engine a quick look over to see if it needs anything else whilst it's out?

hi mate give me a call and i will see what i can do for you ...

 

07798625541...

 

thank's wozza ...

 

..

no, not an engine out job. Basically requries removal of Radiator, Fan, Water pipes and Cam covers.

 

Usually around the £400 mark from specialists, and should include :

 

Cambelt

Waterpump

Rubber inlet hoses

Thermostat

Auxillery Belts

Het mate

 

I live in Surrey but wouldnt do your cam belt unless you want it looked at by a mechanical plonker!

 

BUT I take mine to Simpsons in Chessington, Zedworld recommended them as specialists and general jap car specialists.

 

Give them a go - 02083973311

not bein funny mate but wtf? the cambelt's loose, so they change it and leave the tensioner on? Has the full service ever been done that you know of? If not, you can't seriously be lettin them just swap the belt?

I forgot to say that the Tensioner and idler pulleys should be checked and replaced if required.

 

If cambelt was loose :eek: it would point at the tensioner needing replacement. What were your symtons..did the belt slip causing incorrect timing and running problems ?

yeah it was making a funny noise when you put your hand on the cam belt case you could feel it rumbling the garage said it was slipping they have it apart at the mo just waitin to put belt on also the revs had been going up and down and the idle was just over 1000

bring it down and i will do it for £350 all in !

Inc. a new tensioner?

Sounds to me like the garage don't know much... If the cambelt was slipping enough to cause any noise then the engine wouldn't be running lol

Inc. a new tensioner?

 

yes with a new tensioner !

ok i was about to ring the garage this morning when they rang me sayin they looked on a 300zx site this one i think cause he said what you guys said about the rest of the bits i need to do so now theyre doin it all but said it will cost around 500 quid also they said my timing was out by 1 tooth and my boost pipes are roch hard and have splits which i knew anyway

If they were going off the timing marks on the rear belt covers then yes it would look like it was out by a tooth. The marks are terrible! Even with a brand new belt on they never line up....

would that effect the performance

Certainly would, valve timing is critical to performance. If its too far out the valves will even hit the pistons and cause massive damage...
