When to replace drive belt? whisling noise
I'm not auto expert but for some reason, my gut tells me its the drive belt.
I would hear this chirping/whisling noise whenever i would drive the car 40+mph. If i tap on the brake while cruising above 40mph with the chirping noise, alil tap on the brake would stop the noise but when i speed up pass 40, itll start chirping again. SO is this the drive belt or what? easy to do it myself?

Yep, i think i had that same noise you've described. I've just changed my alt/ps and a/c belts yesterday and the noise when away.
If your belts are still decent, just tighten it a little. Belts do expand in some time and causes more slack than recommended. I noticed that a/c belt(the smaller one) was a little looser than the alt/ps belt. So my best guess is, it's the tension pulley for the a/c belt was making that noise.

Where is the DIY for the belts swap?
Hey guys,
I searched for NismoG's DIY and couldn't find anything - can you throw up a linky for me? I have to replace my alt and my a/c I think and my shop wants like $90 EACH for something they said takes 10-20 tops! So i want to try my hand at it. Does it require any special tools?
How much are belts and are there an assortment of brands/types to choose from? Or do you just go with the Nissan branded ones?
Thanks,
Al
