Hey again guys, i know ive asked alot of questions lately but one more has come up. When i first took off the cam belt tensioner it was quite dry/free spinning to rotate. Now that i put sum lube in it, it seems to have gotten smoother and quieter when i spin it. Im curious how do i know if i should replace it? And do i have to replace the spring? Or how do i tell if i need to?

Many thanks,

Deren

nissan charge a sh*t load for the tensioner and idler. They wanted about $120 for tensioner and 250 for the ideler I think.

Search around for part numbers. I posted a thred in here with the part numbers and where to get them cheap. Then checkif RB26 has same part number..

good luck

Hi Deren,

When I did mine I replaced tensioner and idler bearings, water pump and the timing belt at the same time. I also replaced the Idler bolt and the tensioner stud as they sometimes break.

I got the bearings from Bearing Wholesalers in Bayswater, the pump from Bursons (it is the same as VL commodore - some say that there is a difference but only the RB20 is different from the VL commodore) and the belt from Nissan in Oakley. Shop around a few Nissan dealers for the belt as I was quoted up to $120 but eventually got it for $80.

Total cost for the whole job was about $350.

Cheers.

Just posting these details as the search on this forum just sux now. Can't go past a couple of months.

Idler: NSK 56TB 2801 B01

Tensioner: NSK 60TB 0683 EA7L 806

Now I spoke to Steve when I got mine there and they were only about $120 for the pair. They apparently had hundreds in the warehouse.

is it hard to replace the idler stud? How do you get it out?

I didnt bother with mine nor the tensioner bolt. Went to nissan and they said it would be a hassle to get it. Also showed the bolt to the service team there and they said they would never replace a bolt like that.

The bolt is only going to snap if the bearing siezes etc which puts all the load on the bolt...something eventually has to give..new or old stud I think would be the same issue!

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
