right i think your getting confused. if you look down by the big white fan, the vicous fan as its known you will see thre 15mm or so black smooth belts. these run off a pulley down in the bottom under the fan. you will see this spinning when the engine is on. the three belts run off of this these are known as anncilry belts they run things like the alternaor, power steering pump, air conditioning etc. on the right hand side you will see there is a pulley. this is the air con compressor. if there is no belt here its probally because the compressoir has siezed try turning it by hand when the engine is off obviously! it probally wont move. so many people detached it rather than replace it. with me so far? this is why you only have two belts. as long as these are in good condition, no freying etc or excesivily warn down, and are of the correct tension so they dont slip, and squeal. then your ancileraies will hopefully do there job :D the main belt. i assume you mean timing belt is safely hidden behind the black platic that covers teh front of the engine. you can undo a few bolts to peak in there and see how bad or maybe good it is. if youve just brought the car i cannot recommed highly enough taking your car to zedworld, they will do a full health check of your car and advise you on what needs doing for a very fair price. most of the members here will also recommend thier services. best of luck.

i do like them.... lol

right then guess you will be pulling all the gooduies out that and poping them in the one you had to start with then????? needs some live that shell.

thanks jeff your a star.

gotta find the material first :D cheers for the ofer phil. hope you get things sorted with the bumper.

trouble is it was about a year ago:(

regaurding some work done by nippon auto spares to my car ive tried searching for it but found nothing it was posted up by jeff when i he had to do the job properly for me. i would like the contents of this thread for my records....

nice purchase buddy hope it goes well for you.

just a few quick questions found a thread for door card removal i assume the dash underside is pretty straight forward....? does anyone know the following two questions? first do the tweed parts of teh door come off seperatly? and secondly how much material would be required to recover all the tweed?

gosh there cheap! that 350z is gorgeous still very tempted by one of them...

i suppose as long as the materials are of the correct tensile strength and its all torqued up corectly what can go wrong... its no different really compared to bolting a wheel on.

hrm..... horror stories confirm my fears

who is the chap that makes these for considerably cheaperthan they are everywhere else hes a 350z owner i know one or two of you lot have his product :D spill the beans?

i agree, i know quite often people use extra headgaskets or packers to decrease compression for turboing applications.

do a search i think most guys run auto tubs about 2psi less. but im no expert have a search about sure the info is on here sum place...

the rim is bonded iirc. to stop the air leaking out. think like any other gasket.

if you had a mate that was handy with the old tig welder an dyou colud get teh pan nice and clean theres no reason why with some planning you couldnt baffle the orginal is there?

yup autos have differnt cams and turbos to spool up quicker and make up for the grannie box :D they do say that through the gears a converted auto will be quicker because of less lag. i seem to rember something on the subject of them handling less boost if planning to up the boost, hope that helps

in a sense its possible to turbo anything however to get the best out of it there is alot more that would have to be done to the engine cam work etc. and compression. insurance wise it would become a modified car, it would be cheaper to insure the stndard tt than a modded na with a turbo. i looked into this when i was into my capris cheaper to buy a 2.8 than make it a 2.8. i think all in all you would probally find it easietr and cheaper to either buy a tt lump complete and drop it in or just buy a tt car.

agreed councils are having to face up to these responsibilties, you pay your taxes and roads of adequate standard should be provided. i read something recently about people claiming over damge to cars caused by over sized speed humps

cheers ian

yeh been looking for new wheels, and there are lots of german 110x5 fitment style wheels out there. for better money as there in abundance. :D

i think the vw boys do it quite often. ian... where did you get the apadtors to change 110 to 114?

my mate did a set of bbs split rims in his kitchen they where fine. just required alot of patenice. and he used a liquid style gasket like a silicone bead.
