5 min job. From underneath. Look for a long 10mm bolt facing vertically. There is one for each belt.

Also, inspect the belt for cracking on the ribs on the inside. If its too bad or brittle, replace it.

And don't forget to firstly loosen the idler bolt before trying to tighten the belt. Otherwise the idler won't slide.

Probably obvious but I made that exact mistake!

You can replace your belt with soap!!!?!?!??!?????????!!????,?,!!!!!!!!!!?!,??,?,???!!???!!!!?!?

Instead of using brake fluid which will eat your paint if it comes off the belt lol

Dragging up an old one here, the bearing on my aircon pump or tensioner Seems to be on its way out, I can't quite put my finger on it, has anyone replaced this before? Don't want to pull it off without parts on hand, anyone know the part numbers?

Many thanks,

I suspect it may be a bit of a major - definitely if you lose your coolant. May be a job for an air-cond shop unless someone knows better.

No coolant loss, hard to describe but it's like a chirping sound proportional with revs, comes and goes, my guess is the bearing attached to the pulley on the pump itself might be on its way... Which yeah, could be a major, I'm quite rookie at this fault finding stuff lol

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
