Hey guys, does anyone know why the hell there are 2 different sizes for the G? I pull up a 37 1/8" and a 37 7/8" for one of the belts...any way of knowing prior to taking it off?


Thanks,
JD

 

The G and Z have different size belts but they are a lot more of a difference than 3/4"

Only way of knowing before removing is to measure with a fabric tape measure.. but who the he11 wants to do that?

If they arent that worn it will say the part number on the belt. Just replaced mine and I could still read both part numbers on the old belts.

 

JD if you go to Autozone or orielys just tell them 04 g35 coupe and there is only 1 choice for serpentine and 1 for AC belt.

 

go to oreilly - get the gates belts..

Since you dont have an undertray it'll be cake..

 

Yep, I'm actually trying to order the Gates Blue belts....cause mine are pretty much shredding...lol

Guess I'll order the ones from the vendor here and hope that because it's an 03.5 there wasn't anything funky and that's why the 2 diff sizes...DAMN YOU NISSAN...

 

I'm actually needing to replace my belts as well...I looked down last weekend and noticed that one of them is pretty cracked.

 

Yikes^

I do as well.

We should have a tech day and take care of some of this as a group.

 

I do too why not go with Oem also is there a DIY or anything like that?

 

Yeah, I'd be down for a group change your belts day....summer is about to start beating down on da poor G's...

 

I think Jake mentioned that we could do a group belt install at his place...but I will let him chime in. I need to get mine done.

 

^ Same here. interested in Dos XX belt party

 

Hell ya! we can do 3 cars at a time - I have enough jack stands, 14mm goosneck wrenches and 12mm sockets and wratchets.. I need to make some ramps cause here lately all the G's have been too low... I blame Stephen and Chris for that.. lol


if you all cant decide on a date? - let me know - bring a 12 pack of DOS XX's...and it will get done..

 

I volunteer my car to go first...if each one of us are bring 12 packs....Jake is gonna be pretty hammered by car #3....lol

 

^^^^Im not downing them all in 20 mins foo (well..lol) They all go in big'ol cooler for everyone cept brit - He has to bring Makers Mark bottle... and my squash - lol..


Im also hoping ya'll will turn some wrenches as well..I want ya'll to learn how do this.. its cake and you wont ever have to spend $$ on anything cept belts in the future..thats even if you need to after this (I change mine out after 40K or if I see cracks in them - whichever comes first)

 

Let's do this!
