Rob22 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 On the ramps at 0900. Back in the house drinking tea at 1000 job done. Nice one mate. Good guide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam1942 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Did this today it took about 20 minutes after I got the under tray off... However I found that the 6PK1173 belt was constantly slipping no matter how tight I got it.. I went to a local motor factors and got a slightly smaller belt. If anyone finds that the belt constantly slips I'd recommend; Continental Contitech 6 PK 1165 (8MM shorter than the proper gates belt) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patwudz Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Just read through the info posted, I'M going to change my belts tomorrow, got the Gates belts from A & B auto spares in Whitehaven for £27:47p I'M sure with the perfect description from Stev I can do this job & save a few ££££££ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patwudz Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Thanks again to steve, job was made easy by using your description’s Jacked the car up & removed the under tray it’s a easy job once this is removed, I also removed the plastic top cover just to make it easier getting your arms down to feed the belt’s around, I had to loosen the top anti roll bar to lift the plastic cover out, you need the extra lift because the bolt is under the bar, I checked all the pulley wheels & made sure they were all well lubricated car sounds a lot quieter now, having said that I was shocked to find that the A C Belt which should be a 4 groove was only 2 grooves! The rest of the belt had shredded it’s self I found some slithers in behind 2 pulley wheels, The full job complete & all tools away took me 70 minutes & that was including rubbing 2 small areas of flaking rust off where the under tray screws to the car, I used some under sealant to protect the sub frame. The belts were from A & B auto spares in Whitehaven at a cost of £27:47p labour was free & very rewarding when you listen to it ticking over now.

samsniss350z Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Hello and thank you to Mr Steve 3000. I've started to suffer the same screaching belt syndrome now the damp mornings have arrived and being a bit of a newbie to the 350Z was curious as to the correct way of tightening the belts. Fantastic pictorial. Thanks again. SAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Good guide Steve - nice work! Jim - something makes me think 5 years is the recommendation to check/change these belts, i'm sure someone will be able to give you a definitive though. Thanks. That would make mine overdue. Anybody confirm this? Have you changed them yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macky Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Used this guide to tighten my aux belts. It's been written so well it makes it simple to follow! Pics are a big help, cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Worth noting that if you have an HR model then its a much easier process - theres only 1 aux drive belt and it has an automatic tensioner. You just use a 1/2 drive breaker bar to pull the tensioner off the belt, stick an allen key through the tensioner hole to lock it. Then pull old belt off. Stick new belt on, and release tensioner. All in all a 5 minute job, with no need to even jack the car up. And just as well, as whilst Nissan told me they would expect the aux drive belt on my HR model to last 80k miles, I found it SHREDDED the OEM belt every 20k miles on the dot. Nissan couldnt come up with an answer - they even checked all my pulleys were in line and the belt wasnt catching anything. In the end I opted for a Gates heavy duty belt on mine to see if that resolved the shredding problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiuchi-Gary Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Thanks for this guide, changed my belts with no problems but managed to take a lump of skin off my thumb as one of the Idler wheels refused to play ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juggalo Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Nice How2. Did mine yesterday and what a huge difference. Once I changed the belts and regreased the tensioner bearings, the engine went so quiet! I didn't realise how much noise the tensioners make when they're dry. I just got used to it from when I bought it last year...and even then I thought it was quiet.
