I can't cut and paste with my iPod touch at the moment..but...I posted a belt DIY thread on my350z.com a while ago. Go to the DIY Engine section of the forum. I included a lot of pictures and the job is not difficult. Good luck

Ok...this is an easy DIY maintenance item so save yourself some money and do it yourself.

Step one, get your car up on some ramps or if you like use jack stands to get even more lift. I just used ramps but here is some pictures from doing my own brakes.





The dealer or a mechanic with a real lift does not need to remove the under-tray completely but you probably will... like myself.





Here is the view with the under-tray removed.



There are two belts. One runs the alternator and power steering oil pump, it is the wider of the two belts. The other narrower belt is for the A/C compressor. With a 14mm socket, I used a six point socket, loosen the idler pulley lock nut on each pulley. They will be tight.





Now loosen the adjuster adjuster bolts until the belts are free to remove.







Remove belts and install the new ones making sure the grooves are all seated properly.





Tighten the adjuster bolts until you have about 8-9mm of deflection on the smaller A/C belt with 22lbs of pressure and 4-5mm of deflection on the thicker belt. Then tighten the lock bolt torquing them to 26 ft-lb. Turn the engine over a few times to let the belts get uniform tension and recheck the belt tensions. When you are satisfied reinstall the under-tray.

Thanks

From my350z responses it is easy to break the adjusting bolts so be careful! I had no problem loosing them but...maybe others over tightened them...don't know. I had no problems.

Lots of information Brooklynite, sorry for some of the answers our Bozo's have given you. So you should be able to install the two belts yourself now just by following the pic/information on the previous posts. Now about the intake, go to your local auto parts store and buy a K&N (drop in) filter and cleaning kit. It filters much better than the OEM filter that came with your G. You only need to buy this once and it only requires you to clean it every second oil change or 7K miles. G/L
