hey guys i am having problems with my R32.

i have just recently changed my a/c belt because it was all chewed up on the outer side of the pulley. now my new belt is starting to wear aswell in the same spot right on the edge. rips about 2mm off the edge off the belt all the way around.

as far as i can tell the pulleys look pretty alligned by eye sight so i dont know what is the prob. is this a general problem or just bad luck.

all help appreciated.

Check right around the complete circumference of each pulley that the belt runs on.

From the sounds of it it might be rubbing on a possibly damaged pulley.

Failing that, also check to make sure their isn't any stones bedded into the grooves on the belt, possible pushing the belt off the ridges on the pullies and rubbing.

new from nissan is buckets..

I bought a 2nd hand one which seems to be in decent condition for $50.. Not sure on the cost of a reco..

Its not the easiest thing to get to, so a workshop will probably charge a couple of hours labour to remove and refit.

Depends on the problem.

If it was just a leaking seal or faulty clutch it would be worth repairing, however if the valves inside are jammed, stuffed, clogged you will probally find a new unit is the only way.

A new AC compressor is fairly big $ too.

Might even be worth finding a cheap s/hand one from a halfcut someone doesn't want. That way if its buggered as well, you haven't lost much, however if it works, you have saved probally hundreds of $

hmmm... well its in the workshop at the moment so i will have to see i asked thme to see if they could find out what was wrong and if it would be better to get a second hand or reco, but im pretty sure its seized bearing caus eof the way it snapped the last belt so i might start looking

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
