atkins2087 Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Hi guys, Been to a Nissan garage the other week for the "health checks" they do just to make sure there wasn't anything drastically wrong with it. On the report after it said that i needed to change my "drive belt" anyone had experience with Nissan main dealers?? Also should i just buy the part myself and do it? if so wheres best to buy it? cheers guys! Quote
WhackyWill Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Zmanalex does drive belts, do you know which belts they mean, probably best to change both PM Zmanalex Quote
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 We have them in stock, the drive belt can deteriorate over time but they can be inspected visually, an easy job to change. We do a Gates belt for £28.99 for the 370Z 1 Quote
atkins2087 Posted August 6, 2014 Author Posted August 6, 2014 Not really sure! think they mean the alternator belt. does look a bit shredded tbh. Ok cool, do 350z and 370z use the same belt?? Cheers for the help guys Quote
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Drive belt or alternator belt its the same No its a different belt on the 350Z to the 370Z Quote
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Just to clarify there is one drive belt on the 370Z and 350Z HR, the 350Z DE runs two Quote
atkins2087 Posted August 7, 2014 Author Posted August 7, 2014 Ah got it, had a look and have 2 belts. (DE engine) both need changing tbh! Quote
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 No problem, we do both gates belts for the DE for £29.95. New tensioner pulley nuts are £1.95 each if required Quote
ZZZ_2306 Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 Am I right in thinking that the 370 does not have a CAM BELT but a CAM CHAIN? If this is so then what other AUX belts exist? Quote
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) The 350Z and 370Z run a timing chain not a belt, the aux belt runs the aircon, power steering and alternator. On the DE this is done by two belts, on the 350Z HR and 370Z its done by one Edited August 7, 2014 by Clark Motorsport Quote
atkins2087 Posted August 8, 2014 Author Posted August 8, 2014 should any independent garage be able to fit the belts?? don't really feel confident doing it myself.. Quote
GMballistic Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 should any independent garage be able to fit the belts?? don't really feel confident doing it myself.. Yes. If they can't then they should really shut up shop and find a new profession. 2 Quote
