Mickeywheelspin Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Hi, Currently have the Zed in for a P3 and the garage (Nissan Slough) have advised that the auxiliary belts are cracked and they want £155 to do them. OEM parts come in at about £40 so just wanted to check with someone whos done it before if this was a possible DIY job or if it had to be done at the garage? I'm reasonably car savvy but usually work on older engines. Sorry don't have a Haynes manual yet to check the amount of work (will be getting one). It's a 56 reg GT. Thanks! Quote

mbs Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Any use http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/Drive_an ... eplacement Quote
Mickeywheelspin Posted February 9, 2011 Author Posted February 9, 2011 Any use http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/Drive_an ... eplacement Thanks - found that while Doris was off asking for the parts prices which encouraged me to ask if anyone here has actually done it. I've had problems before with online guides making a job sound easy then when you've got it all apart it becomes apparent that the person who wrote it has never been under a car before or fails to mention the use of special tools. There is a guide on here and it looks like a piece of pee !!!have a search I had a quick look earlier and found nout but have had a closer look and doug this up viewtopic.php?f=35&t=16644 Sounds perfectly doable Thanks for the quick replies guys - this forum is awesome Quote

M9O OEY Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 It's a very easy job hardest part was removing and refitting The undertray, definite job to do on your own , got them off zman and they were A1 and delivery was fast Quote
narcotix Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I had mine changed with my P3 Service at CS .... It didn't look too difficult ... Quote
Chris`I Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Yeah dont pay dealer prices for this kind of work. DIY or get an inderpendant to do it, at least its then ~£50/hr labour and not nearer £100/hr! Quote
Cookbot Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Piece of wee! Like said, jacking it up and the under tray are the biggest ball ache! It's only 2 nuts per belt, slacken the big one in the middle of the idler, turn the little one below to introduce slack to the belt. Reverse to fit. Quote
