rbc arent cheap from my exp

ummm first of all, why would you want CHEAP bearings, i personally wouldnt trust them..

What area are you from?

RBC has a few branches.

You could also try bearing wholesalers. I know the guys in the moorabbin store cheap cheap for me

[(B1) MR_fanny]

what was the price from RBC? im also in the process of hunting parts

[ducki]

i live close the cambellfield... i might check it out first.. does the moorabin store able to ship the parts and how much did you get yours for? I'm looking for NSK parts so i think all NSK bearings perform the same and just difference places sells them at different prices.

you want low quality bearings

be prepared to have a head smash 24 valves.

Cost should not be an issue for idler/tensioners

i got genuine nissan bearings for $45 each from nissan a couple years back...they are not expensive if you care about your motor

[foznice]

don't nissan use NSK bearings?????

true that but the prices vary so much from 100ish for NSK ones to 200ish for genuine ones. if they are of identical quality it would be nice to save some $$. a few people here are using NSK ones with no probs, i guess because they havent clocked the k's on em yet to find out. ah what a head scratch!!

they aren't gonna cost 200

Last time I got the idler bearing was $200 plus and tensioner was about $80.

r u guys talking about the whole pully or just the bearing? $200 bucks for these bearings....omg

RBC charge about $120 for the pair as complete units ready to bolt in. They are standard NSK which are the Nissan OEM bearing so just call with the stock part number. There is a decent number of threads on here that will have the number listed so search. I've known of others who have pressed the bearing out and just replaced the bearing to have it fail about 5000km later.

Make sure you get new grade 8 or 12 bolts. Young guy that lives nearby had mild bolts installed by the mechanic and one failed through fatigue in a couple of hundres kays. Pistons survived but new valves all around.

Chris, this is the whole pulley for reason stated above.

I found RBC helpful and a good fair price.

thanks Geoff...hope ur feeling better mate. I still have a front grille for you!

Yeah good point...I took off some pullies the otherday and thought they were on the way out...$120 for NSK is not bad for the whole unit. I thought they were just talking about bearings.

on that note I broke off one of the tensioner screws yesterday...must have failed for something just sheered right off..lol bought some new bolts but need to get the old thread out.

I'm also trying to work out an easy way to take off the damn PS belt...looks like the lock bolt is the one just above the tension bit...bitch to get at...give it another go next weekend.

Might as well do the bearings also while everything is out...so what are the stock part nos...?
