I have noticed that one of my belt is misaligned. As you can see on the pics, the belt has 3 teeths, and one of them is outside.

is that the a/c belt?

Could someone tell me how i can put it back correctly? which part should i loosen up, so i could put the belt properly?

That's the Power Steering pump. Couple of ways to solve the problem.

1. Get a 27 mm socket on the crank pulley. Manually turn the engine over while you press sideways on the belt to guide it back into correct alignment. You will probably need 2 people - 1 down below to turn the crank, the other up top to push on the belt.

2. Loosen off the tensioner of the steering pump. It's on the underside of the pump, so it's often easiest if you remove the IC pipe (the one with, is that the BOV?, in your last pic). You may still need to rotate the pump's pulley, pushing the belt sideways (as in 1 above) to guide the belt back into correct alignment.

Hope that makes sense.

thanks for the reply,

i dont know if #1 will work, as the belt is really tight, i dont think we can push the belt on without tearing the belt apart.

as for #2, seem to be a bit more difficult, (yes the silver pipe has the bov on the right) . I will check this out

For #2, the adjustment mechanism is similar to the one for the alternator. It will be more apparent once you remove the IC pipe. I certainly found it far easier to adjust the belt tensioner this way.

hey bobyYoo,

on a totally unrelated topic i noticed in the pics that u have your BOV welded onto the crossover pipe. i had this done aswell when i first got my BOV. then i got my cooler and had to move it to where the stock one was. There was a massive improvement in the sound. but unless your getting a cooler then you'll need something to block up a bloody big hole.

Personally I'd just get all your belts replaced. I had the same thing happen. It only costs like $150 in parts and labour if you go to nissan.

What he said. The belt is more than likely ripped up from hanging off like that. If you put it on it could snap or sqeak around

      Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.

      That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      Was that deliberate?

      You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
