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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
