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

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
