I have done timing belt on my z32 two times. 1st time I used Gates timing belt and the timing marks were not ideal. After a while I gave up and just left it being not ideal. 2nd time I used OEM Nissan timing belt (Z1 120k timing kit) and the OEM belt definitely fits better and timing marks aligned perfectly. I don’t think there was any difference in how the car ran.
Get Dayco. They are made in Italy anyway and from the dayco "HT" material.
I have them in my 2v no issues
This is a solid car at a fair price. I had 3 of these over the years and put over 1 million miles between them. Timing belt every 90k with oem or gates belt only is the only real thing to worry about.
I got my kit from MetalMan Parts. Dayco timing belt, Continental serpentine belt, Litens tensioner, INA rollers, Graf metal pump and all the recommended hardware \ud83d\udc4d
I bought the Gates kits (\u00a3180 total) and decided to do my first timing belt and aux belt. Done over a thousand miles on it since and all great \ud83d\ude4c hope you enjoy your new car
have it on my civic for a year now no problems.
Febi Bilstein Aufkleber,die Original Volvo Riemen werden von Dayco gefertigt.
Do you have a gates timing belt kit on this? Usually gates makes a whine when revving and coming down in revs and at idle makes a funky sound
Wet belts dont like new fuel, and dont like low mileages... Found the below information which backs up what ive been saying for a long while, the ecoboost engines are fine...if they cover high mileages and oil is changed regularly.... Dayco, a leading belt manufacturer, has investigated the impact of ethanol and petrol contamination on its timing belts. Their research has indicated that the presence of fuel in the oil, especially due to short, low-speed drives, can overwhelm the oil’s additives and cause belt degradation. This means that the belts may fail before their expected lifespan, even if the belt itself is of high quality. The Importance of Proper Maintenance and Usage: To mitigate the risk of premature belt failure due to ethanol and petrol contamination, it’s crucial to maintain a vehicle properly. This includes avoiding short, low-speed journeys that can lead to fuel contamination of the oil. Regularly changing the oil and ensuring the oil filter is in good condition can help prevent fuel from entering the engine oil. If a vehicle is stored for extended periods, it’s advisable to use fuel stabilizer to prevent ethanol from separating and potentially damaging the fuel system, including the belt.
Be careful who you purchase from. I bought one a year or so ago everything was great but the timing belt itself broke. I got lucky and didn't bend any valves. Bought a Dayco belt and haven't had any problems.
