Rb25det 100k Service Bearings

[Bliksem]

Im looking to start a group buy for genuine RB25DET Idler Assembly replacement bearings.

After recently doing my own 100k service I was quoted $350 for the timing belt idler bearing and another $130 for the timing tensioner pulley bearing from Nissan.

I was also quoted $225 for the timing belt idler bearing and $95 for the tensioner pulley bearing from Just Jap.

I have managed to get hold of a supplier who is happy to do a group for $240 delivered on both the Idler and Tensioner bearings (Genuine Nissan Replacement parts)

Both of these a requirement when doing the 100k service when changing the timing belt, and is also a good idea when rebuilding your motor for peace of mind.

Looking for around 10 buyers to achieve this price.

Closing Date: 20/1/05

PM me for any further questions or details.

from memory i think you can get nsk bearings for about the same price or cheaper.

Tensioner NSK 60TB0683 EA7L 806

Idler NSK 56TB2801B01 ENSL 309

not geniune but still does the same job. anybody have any idea if the nsk's perform better?? i might be interested.

Those are not the same part numbers I have. From memory there was a thread not long ago and the non genuine bearings didnt come with the sleeve or shaft shown in the pictures.

[(B1) MR_fanny]

fair enough.

put me down for one when you get enough people.

[bilbo117]

yeh put my name down as well mate

[gtst25]

Yes they do come with the sleeve etc.

I started a thread in the maintenance section yonks ago when I did the idler/tensioner over a year ago.

The thread was titled fiddly stuff and if you do a search you will find the right part numbers in the thread.

They are cheaper than the genuine ones and I can't see any reason why they wouldn't last as long.

One guy got them cheaper than I could but he was in sydney.

From memory it was about 60 for the idler and 105 for the tensioner.

I've used NSK in all my vehicles and never had any troubles - they are good bearings.

Cheers

[bilbo117]

sounds like a good option??? group buy on them?

[YO880]

is it possible to get a price on 2x tensioners? can this be included (could help a few RB30DET conversion ppl)

[RB30-POWER]

i used the part no, gts25 stated about 6 months ago in a thread.

got two tensioners for my RB30DET conversion for $40 each from the local bearing shop.

bargain!

So these are the complete tensioner and idler assemblies to suit an RB25DET?

[beastien]

Found out today, CBC do a timing belt kit for RB25DET's, includes timing belt, tensioner and idler pulleys, cam shaft and crankshaft seals, for about $350.

[(B1) MR_fanny]

thats not a bad deal. what kind of bearings do they supply in the kit?? genuine?

[bilbo117]

Who is CBC?

I'm pretty sure they are NSK bearings, which would be as good as genuine.

I wouldn't be surprised if the genuine ones are NSK.

[beastien]

Who is CBC?

Consolidated Bearing Company.

I talked to Bearing Traders in Mayfield Newcastle, and they can get the bearings at a rediculously cheap price, i couldn't believe it.

Tensioner NSK 60TB0683 EA7L 806 $29.63

Idler NSK 56TB2801B01 ENSL 309 $49.76

Nice work I got a 100k service coming up and live in newcastle so this should help save me some money.

[bombastic]

I only got my car a couple of months ago (98000km), and when I got it I knew it needed the timing belt done... but I didn't know anything about bearings.

I had it done at Caringbah Automotive Repairs & Service in Taren Point. The invoice I got says "T1040 Timing belt" but nothing about bearings. So after reading this thread I'm thinking it should have been done, and if so is the mechanic to blame for not knowing to do it?

I've just done over 100000km so I guess I should get it sorted. Wonder what other surprises are waiting to empty my wallet...

[beastien]

It depends who you talk too, I've heard SK say that it is not required to change the pulleys when you change the timing belt, but i'm quite sure it is recommended to be done with the 100000k service.
