i spent all day yesterday trying to find a good deal on this stuff. rang repco and got quoted $697 for gates racing belt, tensioner, idler, water pump. about 5 phone calls later i had it down to $320 for all these parts. my tensioner and idler came from a bearing place and cost $130 all up so you should be looking around this mark for non genuine. oh by the way nissan quoted $89 for tensioner and $246 for idler and thats trade price.

I'd say, just quote the numbers you have to Bearing Industries, and they'll have the suitable one for you, at a fraction of the price!

BTW: Hootchy's info is the post that I was referring to. I will be calling to get those parts for myself in the next week or two. =-]

I also got that same number off this old thread

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=73517

they also found differences in the part numbers

Yeah mate - all inclusive

I ended getting onefrom BSC and the other from CBC. CBC had them listed as different part numbers though - but the numbers were stuck over the original part number (???)

It seems the difference in the part numbers may be due to cataloging changes.

Bearings with either number seem to both do the job.

The blokes at BEARING INDUSTRIES said they sell these to various workshops in sydney.

Maybe I just got lucky :P

I asked for rb25 ones and I'm sure that's what I got .

I've had my old tensioner, new tensioner and an RB30 tensioner all side by side

and the only difference is that the RB30 tensioner pulley was about 1mm shallower

Try avoid paying Nissan rrp.

When I was gettin my idler & tensioner done there was a shortage. It was hard to believe not one bearing company in SA had any & their suppliers & trade partners namely in NSW wouldnt sell it to them coz, they had a shortage as well. Must of been a whole bunch of you eastern states getting them done at the same time *shakes fist at easterners* :). Ended up resorting to genuine Nissan & lighter pockets.

Hi guys I just purchased my tensioner and idler bearings through State Wide Bearings.

I compared the two different NSK tensioner bearings 60TB0683 and 60TB0732A.

They are the same dimensions etc but have different bearings. It looks like the 60TB0683 has replaced the 60TB0732A. The bearing in the 60TB0683 is not as wide as the other, Almost looks like there's only one row of ball bearings in this newer one. The 60TB0732A looks like it would have 2 rows of bearings in it. They have probably done this as a cost saving move. I am going to use the older 60TB0732A. This is not 100% confirmed but looks like it to me and the guy who worked there.

Hope that clears up a few things.

Fry,

are you saying that 60TB0683 is the newer one with the 2 rows (ie better).. i am a bit confused by your last statement.

Sorry Kent,

I wrote it a while back and obviously didn't proof read it well, if at all. I just edited it to the way it should have been.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
