Where can I buy timing belt replacement parts?

[Scooby_Steve]

Hi,

I'm planning on having my timing belt replaced and just have a few little questions.

Does anyone know where I can buy the timing belt, tensioner bearing, idler bearings from and roughly what prices?

In one on my last posts, one of the guys were kindly enough to provide me with a price and part number for the idler and tensioner bearings but I'm unsure if the local bearing suppliers will be able to cross-reference the part numbers with theirs so any identification of online shops etc that sell these components would be great.

I've read somewhere that the N1 Water Pump can be used on a RB25DET. If so, does anyone know where I can buy it from.

Also, is there water pumps other than the N1 brand that I can use for my car?

Lastly what price range should I be expecting for all components?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Steve

My local Nissan dealer sells Nissan parts, like cambelts, idler pulleys etc. The RB25DET cambelt was ~$90, my bearings were in good condition.

"N1" is a class of circuit racing, the Nissan N1 water pump was designed for use in circuit races for GTR's, ie; designed for constant high rpm. I wouldn't be using one on a road car:cheers:

slightly off topic, but after applying to get a quote from hardcore racing in brisbane to get my 100K service done (still waiting on quote to get back to me tomorrow), the dude was adament he would only use genuine nissan idler bearings. He said he had seen to many aftermarket bearings die shortly afterwards. considoring the idler bearing can cost over $300 for the genuine part, im wondering how true this is?

Hmm that's scary. This place called Mekong spares sell some for $104 for both. I was going to get those. THey aren't original - but japanese.

My belt is really loose. Haven't pulled it down yet, but do you ever usually need to replace the spring???

Nissan wanted about $80 for the belt and $150 for the correct pump (RB25DET series 1 ...NOT the VL pump)
