seems my engine belts on my R32 GTS-t are squeaking when the engine is cold.

when i turn my headlights on it becomes louder.

would that be the alternator belt doing this because it's under more load when the headlights are on?

how much would it cost to get the 3 belts from nissan?

how much are the idlers/tensioners?

does anyone know the part numbers?

cheers,

dave.

There is an online Gates catalogue that you can search by make and model. go to http://www.gatesaustralia.com.au/ then 'Auto Aftermarket' then On Line CATALOGUE. You should be able to find any of the belts to suit the model and engine combos available.

The part numbers for Automotive Micro-V belts are pretty simple. a 4PK875 belt has 4 ribs, PK stands for automotive micro-V pitch, and 875 is the length in mm.

If you are trying to match an existing belt and you can't get the exact same nbumber don't stress. You will generally have a bit of adjustment to play with so as long as the belt is within 5-10mm either side then you'll be fine.

thanks for your replies guys.

are the belts on my engine the same length and width? can i get the same 3 belts?

also, i saw on the gates online catalouge 3 entries for my car:

SKYLINE (R32) 2.0L 4 Cyl. (RB20D, D-T) 1989-93 4PK860R

SKYLINE (R32) 2.0L 4 Cyl. (RB20D, D-T) 1989-93 4PK925R

SKYLINE (R32) 2.0L 4 Cyl. (RB20D, D-T) 1989-93 4PK945R

are these the 3 belts individually? other nissan models (GTR, silvia, pulsar) had only 1 or 2 entries.. i'm a bit confused.

Basically if you have three belts on your car (ie. the AC has a seperate belt to the Power Steering Pump then the above belts are the ones you need. I just put R32, 1992 into the fields and it comes up with the following. This shows the different combinations possible. The belts you mentioned above are just the Racing construction versions of the last three (add an R to the part numbers below). The 4PK860R is 5mm shorter than the 4PK865 but it's fine.

1989-93 2.0L 6 Cyl. Turbo (RB20DT) 3PK835 PS - w/ AC

1989-93 2.0L 6 Cyl. Turbo (RB20DT) 4PK865 Fan & Alt.

1989-93 2.0L 6 Cyl. Turbo (RB20DT) 4PK945 PS - w/o AC

1989-93 2.0L 6 Cyl. Turbo (RB20DT) 4PK925 AC

Good Luck

thanks heaps for your help Fry_33.

i'm going to go with:

1989-93 2.0L 6 Cyl. Turbo (RB20DT) 3PK835R PS - w/ AC (since i have air con?)

1989-93 2.0L 6 Cyl. Turbo (RB20DT) 4PK865R Fan & Alt.

1989-93 2.0L 6 Cyl. Turbo (RB20DT) 4PK925R AC

does this sound right?

i prefer to go with the racing versions for the extra durability.

I don't know if there is even a 3PK835R, I don't recall seeing it in the Racing catalogue eariler. Not all sizes are available in the Racing construction.

You will need this regardless by the looks of things

1989-93 2.0L 6 Cyl. Turbo (RB20DT) 4PK865 Fan & Alt.

Then you will need this..

1989-93 2.0L 6 Cyl. Turbo (RB20DT) 3PK835 PS - w/ AC (this single belt runs the PS AND the AC)

or these..

1989-93 2.0L 6 Cyl. Turbo (RB20DT) 4PK945 PS - w/o AC (this belt runs just the PS)

1989-93 2.0L 6 Cyl. Turbo (RB20DT) 4PK925 AC (this belt runs just the AC)

If you have three belts on your car then I think you'll have to run with the belt list you cam up with in post #5. You should be able to read what's on your crrent belts and that will help you to decide which ones to use. If you can't see part of the belt then just turn the engine over slightly without starting it. You can't put a 4 ribbed belt (4PK) onto a 3 ribbed (3PK) pulley. I have an RB25DET so I can't just look at mine to help you cause they're different.

      At SMSP, I mainly see Hondas, M cars, A90 Supras and of course, plenty of Evos. Have not seen a single R32 ro R34 Skyline on the night sessions that I've been to. That's really saying something.

      I like mine. Much better than stock. Like i said before the reverse/parking cameras look even worse than normal, still useable. When you buy one make sure it's the latest version. Heaps of cheap ones that run the old hardware and software. Got mine from AliExpress. Mine is quick no lag, boots up 1-2 sec. Menu is fast. Netflix is fine and so is YouTube. Android Auto is random taking 3sec to 15sec. Most of the time it's quick. Very rare it doesn't connect. But that could be a phone thing.   Now I think they use a Pixel 3XL to run this whole thing which i guess is fine, but the problem is that some apps will not work on old hardware like Disney Plus  Maybe Prime Video too 🤔. they will not update. Iv'e tried getting the APK Disney + but i still couldn't get it working. I have a Data sim installed so i have internet all the time. You can't Hotspot off your phone and connect Android Auto at the same time. Not that you need too, if you want you can hotspot off your phone and run any internet map app (google maps) and you can run the Spotify app on it's own (the app runs better than android auto) You can still access the INFINITI intouch system for all the o.g stuff    P.S i got new non Polarization Sunglasses too 😎

      I also don't mean to rain on your parade. But with a 5-10k budget for road only? I'd want to check confirmation that everything IS working correctly and I'm with @GTSBoy for a plan of action here. I'd be checking subframes, bushes, exhaust hangers, interior bits and generally QOL things and CONFIRMING they are working right before thinking about motor. You can get 250KW+ on stock RB26 hardware by simply removing the built in restrictors and tuning the stock ECU. If you want purity that's as far to take it, which I would be worried to do and won't think the budget would allow for when earnestly checking for 30+ year old car stuff.
