Finally got around to doing my belt swap. I'm glad I did too. The ac belt was thrashed and it had chunks missing on the under side. I removed the idler pulley as well. Good riddance.

 

Whats with the rug in the garage, wanna make it comfortable?

 

I was about to say something about the rug too

 

damn i need one of those rugs...

 

very regal for King Hound.. HA!!! New Nickname.. King Jon

 

my wife was going to throw it away and i found a use for it. park the royal G on it.

 

Diy? How hard was it

 

it's easy man.. Nissan provides the simple turn of a bolt for the belt tensioner. JAck the car up, take the under tray off, loosen the tension bolt, lower the tensioner with 12mm socket. belt slips off! reverse process. beer.

 

Looks like the rug gives the garage a soothing feeling =]

Does the belt affect how cold the a/c is? Cuz I just installed a new condenser + receiver/dryer + full a/c vacuum&charge, but the a/c is still not that cold.

 

Jon when you removed the idler pulley did you go down to a smaller belt? Also did you put that spacer in there? If anyone still wants to delete the idler pulley I have the spacers in stock so you dont have to wait since it's a special order item from dealer

 

yeah, i got the smaller belt and put the spacer in it.

 

I made my car about 50 lbs lighter today.

 

Good job jack. Sorry I wasn't able to make it up there. Had bf duty today or I was getting cut off

 

Its cool I got what I could out, just need to undo the gauge wiring etc.

 

I can stop by when I land hopefully wed night
