tried fitting the 905 belt and it squeals like a banshee - and pas pump its at it furthest setting so need a shorter belt

 

Got a 863 (about 4cm shorter - that should mean if i can slacken the pump all the way i should be able to wind it on about half way in the slide bolt.

 

it dont fit - I cant get the slide bolt to pass even half way along its travel - adjuster is undone all the way but pas pump will only move a fraction.

 

Ive tried drifting it slightly with some wood but cant get the slide bolt half way along the travel

 

any ideas - what length belts have you fitted?

 

Cheers

these are 4 ribbed - trying to get a 880 on now - still looks too small

Didn't the person who supplied the pulley in the 1st place supply the belts with it fella ? would have saved yer messing around ;)

ah that rings a bell now, I had similar problems when I did mine, I ended up using a 3 ribbed 890 belt as I could not find anyone with a 4 ribbed belt in that size.

got belts but wasnt happy with the 905.

Got the 880 on now - tight but im thinking its ok. - not too tight

 

Bloody thing is still screaming though - gotta be the alternator belt (Gates) that needs adjusting as I dont have aircon pump.

 

I don most of the work earlier but a local friendly mechanic put belts on and adjusted them up. Is it easy enough to adjust alternator myself?

890 is the one that should be supplied with it mate, so yer pretty close.

Just a point of reference for anyone buying unorthodox or SGP pulleys, from me anyways, ALL belts for the jap spec TT and all models of N/A will be genuine Nissan belts, Uk spec TT's upto 94 I supply 2 nissan belts and 1 Gates belt, all always fit 1st time round with no issues ;)

 

Whoever supplied you Jay, supplied the incorrect belt, any probs with others let me know.
