Just wondering if anyone here would know roughly the cost to have a cambelt changed by a mechanic on a 1995 Nissan Skyline R33 with an Rb26 in it! I live in Auckland if anyone can recommend someone good and cheap. Thanks.

Yes, its really not that uncommon to find anything good and cheap, just have to look. If you have always thought that something that is cheap is not good then you must be a very poor man.

I laughed at some advice I saw the other day. Just said " slacken tensioner off, pull old belt off, and slide new belt on."If only!

if you are not replacing any other parts the advise is ok for some cars like a cortina that ya can do a cam belt on in 15 mins

100 dollars wont get you a belt,tensioner and water pump, in saying that, the RB is one of the easier engines to work on.

$100 will get you a belt and a pump, but not the instal.
