supra_si Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 After seeing my mrs cars engine in pieces from a cam belt failure i want mine changing as i cant afford the supes to go as well. been quoted 100 quid for belt change and aux belt swap for the labour. Where can i get hold of a kit? i know mt T does one but surely it can be sourced cheaper than him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Im sure one of the traders on here will be able to sort you out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Yep, or Toyota:) Steve Manley will do you a good deal (do a serch for him, he works for toyota) as will one of the traders on here:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 The Supra has a non-interference head - the pistons won't hit the valves if the belt breaks, so don't worry tooooo much about it! The belt from Toyota is about £35 and the tensioner is about £50. (Cost me about £87ish last week from Steve Manley) It's a 2 1/2 hour job to do yourself if you have the tools. (Did one last week) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_si Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 nah dont have the tools but the garage across the road wil do it for 2 1/2 hrs labour so gonna get the kit myself and get them to do it for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarcase Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I just had a new cam belt, fan belt, core plug on the water pump and all the gaskets for it and all the bits cost £97 from Fish Brothers Toyota in Swindon. Not sure if this is expensive or not but I was pleased. Have my own local mechanic though so that was extra but it wasn't expensive all in all.

Tricky-Ricky Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 It is very unlikely that either of the tensioners will need replacing, the belts can be found at any good parts place, i use Gates belts, timing is about £19 and serpentine is £15.

Tricky-Ricky Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 the belts off ebay are gates belts, other ppl use them why not me? Nothing wrong with Gates belts mate, far from it, in fact i would hazard a guess that Toyota belts are actually manufactured by them or one of the other major manufactures, like a lot of things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HKS ones are very pretty, this is the best photo of them I have which was taken quite early in the build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 thats what i thought so really im getting oem belts at 20-30 quid off. just because its on ebay doesnt make it all c##p Considering they have the NA Supra as a V6, id not want to risk it Each to their own though and all that, i mean we have folks buying HKS belts and pulleys cos they are pretty, so why not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
