After market RB20/25 Idler Bearing

[Bliksem]

Does anyone know if you can get an aftermarket Idler Bearing for the RB25DET?

If not could someone tell me the bearing number as I work at an engineering firm and im sure there should be an equivelant bearing at alot cheaper price. Thats hoping Nissan Havent designed their own one-off bearing for this...

Thanks Guys.

They seem to be fairly specialised with the correct fittings and things for the engine and the socket for tensioning it. Doubt you can get buy with a "generic one".

Can understand though.. on my recent 100,000km service mine set me back $290 or so

Yeh, mines going in for the service this week, it seemed to have just started squeeking as soon as the clock rolled over to 100k... not one km before then...

My friend had the exact same problem on his silvia about 2 weeks ago and the mechanic re-packed it with grease, so far its going ok, but this is really just a band aid cure... i'd rather get a new bearing, but it is hard to justify paying $290 for a bearing which otherwise would only cost around $10...

I recently changed mine, and i was able to find a NSK cam belt idiler bearing but had to buy the genuine nissan tensioner pulley. Cost me $195 for both.
