i live close the cambellfield... i might check it out first.. does the moorabin store able to ship the parts and how much did you get yours for? I'm looking for NSK parts so i think all NSK bearings perform the same and just difference places sells them at different prices.

you want low quality bearings

be prepared to have a head smash 24 valves.

Cost should not be an issue for idler/tensioners

true that but the prices vary so much from 100ish for NSK ones to 200ish for genuine ones. if they are of identical quality it would be nice to save some $$. a few people here are using NSK ones with no probs, i guess because they havent clocked the k's on em yet to find out. ah what a head scratch!!

RBC charge about $120 for the pair as complete units ready to bolt in. They are standard NSK which are the Nissan OEM bearing so just call with the stock part number. There is a decent number of threads on here that will have the number listed so search. I've known of others who have pressed the bearing out and just replaced the bearing to have it fail about 5000km later.

Make sure you get new grade 8 or 12 bolts. Young guy that lives nearby had mild bolts installed by the mechanic and one failed through fatigue in a couple of hundres kays. Pistons survived but new valves all around.

Chris, this is the whole pulley for reason stated above.

I found RBC helpful and a good fair price.

thanks Geoff...hope ur feeling better mate. I still have a front grille for you!

Yeah good point...I took off some pullies the otherday and thought they were on the way out...$120 for NSK is not bad for the whole unit. I thought they were just talking about bearings.

on that note I broke off one of the tensioner screws yesterday...must have failed for something just sheered right off..lol bought some new bolts but need to get the old thread out.

I'm also trying to work out an easy way to take off the damn PS belt...looks like the lock bolt is the one just above the tension bit...bitch to get at...give it another go next weekend.

Might as well do the bearings also while everything is out...so what are the stock part nos...?

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
