Can't help with where it's coming from sorry Ian but you may want to disconnect your battery if it's that bad. If the water short circuits your electric seats or other electrics it could cause a fire. Just fyi.

That sucks balls coldel. Maybe though, ...they had a booking/appointment etc that they could not be late for and will do the right thing letting you know as soon as they get back that they damaged your car. Let's hope so. What a pita though and me personally I would have told you straight away no matter what I had to do/get to. Let's hope they're honest "good" neighbours.

Think I might do what you mentioned when we where chatting ~ buy three belts from a local supplier, check their returns policy first ..and then buy a 2033, 2030 and 2020. Then just return the two belts I don't use. Although it's expense at first which I don't like, it may be the smartest idea.

Welcome aboard.

Hi Alex, Have a read of this thread and maybe PM Tarmac to see if it's not too late to add you on the list. Link; http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/86113-vortech-v3-supercharger-group-buy/page__st__120 On page 5 or 6 is a list of people after the 3.12" pulley.

Ok this is how I see it ~ Tarmac/Chris posted this as the belt we need to run the 3.12" pulley on the V3sci; That converts to a Gates belt number K060795 according to google when you put it in the search. http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/product_variation.php?pvk=2101 Which from what I can find is an 80.070" 6 rib belt. http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/GAT9/K060795/03306.oap?year=2012&make=Ram&model=2500&vi=1502367&ck=Search_C0074_1502367_-1&pt=C0074&ppt=C0007 80.070" in millimetres converts to 2033.778. So using Vlads eBay link the closest is a 2033mm belt which is Gates part number 6PK2033 on the link; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/310826609954?var=610227490327&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Not sure about going smaller?? the next size down is 2030mm which is only 3mm different so could be ok I just have no idea how much adjustment is available and whether this is beneficial or even needed?? If Vortech say to use a 80.070" (2033.778mm) belt then I would imagine that's correct. @Chris/Tarmac ~ what's your opinion please?

Welcome aboard.

From what I've read the standard belt is a 93.5" 6 rib ~ so for the 3.12" pulley you would need a 93" 6 rib belt. Gates make them from what I've just read on my350z.com. Ok so doing more research this may be the wrong lengths. Reason being Vortech have changed the belt arrangement (less pulleys or something) so the belts now will be shorter from what I'm lead to believe. Might just have to wait and see what belt comes with the Vortech and take 0.5" off it when looking for a belt. The belt part number Tarmac listed converts to a Gates belt number K060795 from what I can ascertain. Which is apparently an 80.070" belt.!? Getting confused now. Well, yes, either wait and see what you will receive or as you said it's got part number and it says 80.070" - just get 0.5" shorter...but you need to transfer it from inches to mm... So 80.070" = 2034mm Then minus 0.5" So 79.5" = 2020mm So, you will need 6PK2020 belt http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/310826609954 Simples Belts need to be pretty tight to stop spinning and loosing boost... So you can get one smaller belt(to be on safer side), I think next one down is 6PK2013 (2013mm in length)... You can always just return it and get refund if you don't need it Cheers Vlad. The belt I listed though should be the length we need though as I converted Tarmacs part number to it. So we should need an 80.070" belt to run the 3.12" pulley. The standard belt I would imagine is 80.570" odd. I think?

Do you know the length of the belt you need to run for the 3.12" pulley at all? Am I right with that Gates part number above for it do you know? Gates belt number K060795

^^ Nice.

^^ That's great news. Good luck.

Can you get hold of the correct Gates belt for this pulley set up then Chris? Would prefer to get it all from you of course if possible. Up to you, but you just will get exactly same belt but for £60 instead of £20ish lol We already configured out sizes for it anyway Yeah I meant get the belt from Chris (Tarmac) but from a UK Gates belt supplier at the £20ish mark. Not the £60. Do you know where to get them then Vlad?

Loved a lot of his work but fondly remember his role in Blackadder's series the most. One from the fourth.

+1 and what sort of power is it rated to or appropriate to use for. Thanks.

Welcome aboard.

That sounds more like it Vlad for the belt ~ not being funny but £60 is a bit OTT. Any idea where to get the belts from then Vlad? ...as there is going to be a few of us after them from the looks of it.

I know how disgusting that is. When I used to own a JDM Impreza I once went down to a rougher area around here called Rhydyfelin where unfortunately my brother & his wife live. This was at Christmas and when I came out my car had been spat allover. They don't know me so it was obviously just jealousy as it was the nicest car parked in the street that day ~ might have been young "ish" kids/adults but I still can't understand why someone would do that especially on Christmas day. I mean I'm never going to be able to afford a new Ferrari or anything like that but doesn't mean I go spitting or vandalizing them when I see them just because I'll never have one. Sad f**kers need a good smack if you ask me.

Great write up and pics. Very interesting and you've almost got a full tool box by now I'd bet.

No probs again. Take's a while to get used to where everything is.

Not a problem. Also been chatting with another new guy this evening. He's changed some of his standard interior lights (A/C, fans etc) to different colours and will be doing a "how to" guide in the near future if all goes to plan. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/86565-hello-from-aylesbury/

Will do!! This forum could do with a " How To" section (unless there is one which I've not found yet) It's in the 350Z "FAQs" section. Plenty of "how to's. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/35-guides/

Just seen this pop up. Definitely worth a PM to ask. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/84794-2004-silver-350z-for-breaking/

^^ Sounds good and remember to start it as a separate thread. May get missed in here.
