Oem Timing Belt Idler And Tensioner Bearings And Spring

[Wacky Dee]

had my 100k service done a few months ago on my R34 with new timing belt and all but the idler and tensioner bearing and spring were not replaced at the time as I wasn't aware they should be.

Does anyone know how much these 3 things cost from Nissan directly and approx. time/labour costs in installing them? Any reliable suppliers other than Nissan, I inly want oem/Nissan items for the bearings and spring. There's a trader on sau selling 100k kits but someone recently posted photos of the bearings he got and they don't look right (size wise, compared to the original ones).

Try Consolidaed Bearings in Seven Hills ! I found them to have the best price for what your looking for

is that 'CBC' ? I can't find a seven hills branch .. got their phone # by any chance? Actually I wouldn't mind a branch closer to the city if that is indeed the same company I've found

I've bought NSK bearings from some bearings place awhile ago.. But they're suppose to be the same as OEM so you can try those.

I got them for about $110 for Idler and Tensioner. Heard Nissan charges you through the roof for these stuff.

I think it cost the same as getting your timing belt replaced.

I paid $500 to have my timing belt replaced ..are you saying its gonna cost that much to have these bearings and spring replaced? If so f**k it.

Well... I think you should ask your mechanic if the labor is the same as timing belt... as I remember, my timing belt will void warranty if I don't get the bearings replaced as well.

Oh, if you decide to do it.. maybe think of replacing your water pump as well?

water pump WAS replaced ... I have no idea why I wasn't told about idle/tensioner bearings .. useless dickheads at 'NSP' (lets just leave it at the acronym)

I got mine with the 100k service kit from here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ni...vi-t137554.html didnt have a problem.

im pretty sure thats the same seller I saw before ..and someone was complaining about the size of the bearings they got (were different by 1mm from original) Just seemed a bit sus ... not risking it with the bearings.
