i spent all day yesterday trying to find a good deal on this stuff. rang repco and got quoted $697 for gates racing belt, tensioner, idler, water pump. about 5 phone calls later i had it down to $320 for all these parts. my tensioner and idler came from a bearing place and cost $130 all up so you should be looking around this mark for non genuine. oh by the way nissan quoted $89 for tensioner and $246 for idler and thats trade price.

I'd say, just quote the numbers you have to Bearing Industries, and they'll have the suitable one for you, at a fraction of the price!

BTW: Hootchy's info is the post that I was referring to. I will be calling to get those parts for myself in the next week or two. =-]

I also got that same number off this old thread

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=73517

they also found differences in the part numbers

Yeah mate - all inclusive

I ended getting onefrom BSC and the other from CBC. CBC had them listed as different part numbers though - but the numbers were stuck over the original part number (???)

It seems the difference in the part numbers may be due to cataloging changes.

Bearings with either number seem to both do the job.

The blokes at BEARING INDUSTRIES said they sell these to various workshops in sydney.

Maybe I just got lucky :P

I asked for rb25 ones and I'm sure that's what I got .

I've had my old tensioner, new tensioner and an RB30 tensioner all side by side

and the only difference is that the RB30 tensioner pulley was about 1mm shallower

Try avoid paying Nissan rrp.

When I was gettin my idler & tensioner done there was a shortage. It was hard to believe not one bearing company in SA had any & their suppliers & trade partners namely in NSW wouldnt sell it to them coz, they had a shortage as well. Must of been a whole bunch of you eastern states getting them done at the same time *shakes fist at easterners* :). Ended up resorting to genuine Nissan & lighter pockets.

Hi guys I just purchased my tensioner and idler bearings through State Wide Bearings.

I compared the two different NSK tensioner bearings 60TB0683 and 60TB0732A.

They are the same dimensions etc but have different bearings. It looks like the 60TB0683 has replaced the 60TB0732A. The bearing in the 60TB0683 is not as wide as the other, Almost looks like there's only one row of ball bearings in this newer one. The 60TB0732A looks like it would have 2 rows of bearings in it. They have probably done this as a cost saving move. I am going to use the older 60TB0732A. This is not 100% confirmed but looks like it to me and the guy who worked there.

Hope that clears up a few things.

Fry,

are you saying that 60TB0683 is the newer one with the 2 rows (ie better).. i am a bit confused by your last statement.

Sorry Kent,

I wrote it a while back and obviously didn't proof read it well, if at all. I just edited it to the way it should have been.

      Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product

      High temp brake fluid?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.

      KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
