Hopefully in the next few weeks I will be the owner of an R33 GTR.I have a rough idea of service costs but can anyone tell me how much it is for the cam belt change and what mileage it should be done.The car was new from middlehurst and all services have been done by them so it would be good to keep it that way but I do live near to Abbey.

Morning Sir,

If the car is fairly close to std then you should change the cam belt at the nissan service interval of 54000 miles.

but if it is harder tuned the interval will be shorter.
there is also an every 5 years proviso on the service information.

I asked a few people about this and no one has heard of one going due to it being more than 5 years old.

welcome to the club.

Cam belt change with fan belts too should cost you around £300.00.

SteveC...I am not definatly in the club yet..fingers crossed I will be soon.
The car is standard so it can wait untill the 54000 mile service or 5 years whatever comes first.
PeterE....£300 is not bad,what garage is that with???

 

[Peter]

It's a 3 - 4 hour job plus £70 - £80 parts. Give your chosen Skyline garage (whichever one you choose) a call for a quote. Most should be around that figure I would think....

hi,had my cambelt changed 2 weeks ago.middlehursts quoted £395,but i got it done at hiteq for £205.

 

[Peter]

There you go then, a bargain price from one of the UK's best Skyline garages, can't be bad!

Did that include the fan belts and was that plus VAT?

 

[johnnyboy]

hi,price included vat and was just for a cambelt change.

 

[Peter]

Cool, £200 for that peace of mind can't be bad.
