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.

      Airbox for +T

      By BuiltNotBought · Posted

      I get you, we’ll see I’m aiming for 200ish kw now and hopefully 300rwkw down the line after some upgrades maybe like headstuds, E85 flex fuel etc  so trying to make it final for that now, I can get a GTT airbox for $280 so it’s not too bad but not sure if there’s better ways to spend that money. I seen online they say pod filter which isn’t enclosed isn’t good especially for a plus T.      hard to say what to do

      Airbox for +T

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Meh. How much power can you make from a +T anyway? I wouldn't have though it would be enough to challenge the airbox. It's not as if it's tiny compared with the turbo one. As to putting a pod in a stock airbox .... it's not the filter element that would be restrictive. It would be the air inlet to the box that would be the narrow point, which you could open up regardless of what element was inside. On my R32 I opened up the sort of triangular opening in the bottom front corner of the box, deformed (heated, moulded) some 4" stormwater pipe to fit to that opening and punched a 4" hole down through the inner guard to the spot where the stock intercooler used to be. This was purely in the search for a cold intake, but you could do something similar if you need to open up the inlet side of it. The AFM tube size is the same for both NA and turbo, so the outlet from the airbox is same same anyway. If you're going to do the right thing, then an aftermarket ECU won't care about the AFM (ie, you can get rid of it). But even if it was still there, people pull >300rwkW through them all day, and I suspect you won't be going there.

      By BuiltNotBought · Posted

      Doing a +T on my car and I’ve read the precious forums lots of mixed reviews from sometime back.  checking if anyone has any ideas for airbox or enclosed pod filter or solutions?  I was thinking stock GTT box but some say it’s restrictive? I seen some people try fit in a pod in the box anyone done that recently?  not any good enclosed options ? Thanks
