Just went to fit mine (again) as i got an ebay one and the belts wouldnt fit, so i got an sgp one with belts from smithy. BIG problem, the powersteering belt wont fit - its too short

 

Just wondered if we are doing something wrong, as this was the same with the ebay pulley we tried to fit aswell

 

Is there a way to get it to fit ?

Im sure its the correct part - and we have taken the PS pump off to give us more play - but it still wont fit !!!!!

 

Please help - as the car is in bits infront of me now

coz there is a difference between UK and IMPORT

 

HTH

yea i know this mate - but i told smithy the details before he sent it - so by rights it should be ok

 

I hope

ok...ive got some belt sizes to post up for you to check with...1 min.....

nice one mate - thanks for this

These are some belt sizes for a light weight underdrive pully that was bought from the US.....:-

 

1 x 3pk 890

1 x 4pk 980

1 x 4pk 920-930 (+/- 10mm)

 

A company called CPA should do these.....check for a dealer near you at:-

On the other hand My lightweight underdrive pully from the UK off of ebay has these sizes:-

 

K040390 1005mm

K040365 945mm

K030350 905mm

 

To be honsest I havnt fitted mine yet so i dont know what ones I need for definate yet?....by the way mine is an jap import.

 

All I know is that the alternator/water pump UK belt is longer than the JaP or US version.

 

I hope these can be of some use but i dont have the definitive answer.

sounds like the pullys are different sizes depending on what one you buy.

Belts sqeal like hell though for the first 30 secs after starting.

Will check the belts tomorrow mate - but i must say (ive just got in from "testing") car goes miles better now, much better up around the 4500 rpm upward mark

 

Well chuffed - thanks Smithy for the bits

 

Put on chromed rad pipes and a few more underhood EL lights too

 

Absolutely awsome

 

Thanks again Black Magic - like i say will check belt numbers in the daylight

 

Mike

Do your belts squeal at all? Mine do and its getting worse. Tighten it as much as i dare and i think its too tight now.

you can buy spray to go on the belts but not sure what stuff it is.

Probably dodgeing the problem putting that on anyway...must be a reason for it squealing...wrong width belts??... too loose??...or just too tight...as above

 

in short...

 

i dont know... :(

 

sorry bud

 

i'll get me coat :smw:

Looking at your part numbers mate, i'd say your air con one was a little too short, maybe that's why it's squeeling, what made you go for those belts in particular ? and just curious, what brand of pulley you got.

Also for yer alternator it depends if you are jap or UK spec as the UK spec uses a slightly longer alt belt and different to the numbers below.

Hi Smithy!

 

ok squeeling wise, if i put the heating to max (ECO mode) it squeels it head off. i went for those belts because i have a friend who owns a motor factor and i took a load of belts and tried them until they fit. took back what didnt :D

 

Its a UK spec car and it definately seems to be the alternator belt squeeling as I can make it squeel by turning on heating (ECO mode). The car does have air-con but it needs re-gasing as its not cold..

 

Whats even better is starting my Z at 6:00am in the morning and waking everyone up.. But thats a personal pleasure :D:D
