I just got them today from a place in Seven Hills

$76 for the 2.

I dealt with Frank at:

Bearing Industries

Seven Hills Rd (cnr Station Rd) Seven Hills 2147

(02) 9674 4322

There is one in Yennora as well.

I will post up the part numbers later but they are NSK - so they are the same as the originals.

Idler: NSK 56TB 2801 B01

Tensioner: NSK 60TB 0683 EA7L 806

I think the idler was the more expensive one (about $48). The tensioner about $28

These were for an R33!!

Not sure if R32 is the same. The tensioner is the same as for VL commo hence its cheapness.

Chrisso - glad you got them at the good rate.

I'm sure by now you found that the bearings include the pulleys. No need to push out old bearings etc

There the same bearings aswell i.e same manufacturer as genuine ones. No difference in quality..

My old bearings weren't that bad - but for that price I didn't want to risk it.

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 (???)

The mechanic pretty much insisted they be replaced. He's stoked that he knows where to get them cheap now too!

Thanks again!!

thanks benl1981 your advise has saved me A LOT of $$$.

The blokes at bearing industries are absolute champions I paid friday and the bearings were in my letterbox first thing monday morning.

The part number for the tensioner is different than the one posted above

TENSIONER: NSK 60TB 0732A

$40

IDLER:NSK 56TB 2801 B01

$42

would NSK know what part numbers are for what part? Eg, would they know if they would fit RB20??

Also, Is it possible to buy without the pulleys? As I can use the press at work and save me some money.....

Wonder if they post to melbourne....

Suppose I should just ring them...

A the beraing place, they new that they would have a bearing that fits, but they aren;t listed i the computer system that they fit skylines.

There's no point in getting them without pullies as the bearings are about $55 and $85.

If you try CBC, they have different part numbers for the same bearings, are a little more expensive (not much) and they have the bearings listed as ones for skylines... I think the tensioner is the same as the VL commodore, but the vl doesn't use an idler. (or maybe the other way around) so it's not as easy to find, but it's out there!

Yeah, Either they are good bargainers, or It might be tade price?

I got one of mine from Bearing service center and the other from CBC. CBC where about $10 each more expensive.

Stil, I paid $130-40 ish all up and was happy as the mechanic could only find original nissan Idler and a VL tensioner. At $270 for just the idler - I started searching! Found this thread.

The mechanic actually rang me up a few days later asking for the part numbers and where I got it! They do a lot of imported nissans.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
