Nissan is a good start

Either way unless you're changing the belts yourself, sometimes its better to just let your mechanic buy the belts for you (assuming he is an honest bloke!). They get trade discounts, and if they buy the wrong ones it is their own problem.

I am due for some myself..same prob with the cracks...the Burson sales person told me to take mine off, then take it to the Burson store and he'll find me the 'right' replacement ones...when i get them done, i'll post up an aftermarket part brand/number...

best of go nissan , as most time aftermarket will be shorter or longer anywhere from 5-15mm depending on belts and then you will have problems with instaling the belts

nissan will have right belts for our cars and no stuffing around , they will fit 100%

I saw the smaller of the two Gates Performance belts at supercheap for $24. I'm going to do some ringing around to see if anyone caries a larger selection.

Wow thats exceptional value considering the prices from nissan (for 350z oem). Will check out super cheap also and see what I can find. Thanks for the info.

Make sure you're checking out the Australian Gates Online Catalogue.

Go to www.gatesaustralia.com.au then click on Auto Aftermarket and finally On Line CATALOGUE - Automotive.

You might have to log in (just some basic details etc) the first time but once you're in I think you can add the webpage as a favourite and not have to worry about logging in from then on.

With automotive micro-V belts the part numbering is pretty simple. 4PK915 = 4 ribs, PK pitch (classifies the cross section and distance between ribs), 915 is the length in mm. On cars like mine, R33, they have threaded adjusters and not hydraulic tensioners you have some room to play with so don't need to be 100% on with the length. Just note some belts could have K040360 or similar on it which is the same belt as a 4PK915 just in imperial, so 36.0 inches long. There should be a length that matches the V series skylines.

There is no listing for an Australian part for the V35/350Z, hence the offshore link. Best call them and double check but failing that you'll have to order it from the US if you want the gates racing accesories belts

Oh, sorry, I didn't actually check it. I'll have someone look into getting it updated tomorrow if I remember. I figure it will be the same as the 350Z so it is something that should be in there. I wonder if it's similar to any other models like a Maxima? Gates might already stock it here but it's just not linked to the V35 as an application which happens occasionally.

I just checked the Gates Australia Online Catalogue and they list the following belts for a 350Z.

Z33 (2002-08) - 3.5L V6 24v DOHC EFI (VQ35DE) - AC

Belt = 4PK945

Z33 (2002-08) - 3.5L V6 24v DOHC EFI (VQ35DE) - ALT

Belt = 6PK1170

Those part# are for standard belts yeah?

Interesting, no listing here for the micro V Performance belts: http://www.gates.com/australia/downloads/d...folder=brochure

If anyone is after performance belts : http://www.powerenterpriseusa.net/products...timing_belt.htm

you'll note the Z33 shares the same AC belt as the BNR34 as well as others.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
