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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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... :P

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.

    • Cleaner signal so timing is more accurate at all rpm also found it to start more on first rotation but could also be I've nailed prime and crank fuel. For under $400 and 30mins of your time, its a good solution especially once the optical sensor does start to play up you won't notice it until in higher rpm and it heat soaks.
    • On a 400hp RB, what benefits other than "it's not 30+ years old" are you seeing from the NZ Wiring Kit trigger setup? If it were me going to change triggering, my belief would be to go for a crank trigger to remove the issues caused by what people claim is belt stretch etc, but that's from my understanding a much larger issue for super high power, rather than those in the 400hp and below club.
    • The NZ wiring kit is a 1/3 the price and will be perfectly fine for your application, I've ran one for 6+ years and many others have. Comes as a full plug into factory connector and the settings for a Link. https://www.nzwiring.com/index.php/product/trigger-kit/ Always comes back to the tuners knowledge and experience with a tuning platform. It takes years to become proficient and learning all aspects and capabilities. I've been using Links for 16 years now (rb and sr paltforms) and always learning something new with adding tables, diagnostics and data logging. Stay 98 for the usability and keep it simple so you can enjoy the car more. With experience I'll give you a current example of the industry I am in. They use Motec m190 and only use VE tuning when they have a torque mapping available and would solve the "PARITY" issues that plagues the category all because the muppet doing the tuning doesn't understand the platform or want to learn it and the product seller have no idea on its full capabilities ( I had a good laugh as when firing up an older car that just got completed and they didn't understand the injector scaling or how to change it for different fuel being used)  
    • I'm sure there are specific hygrometers for it. But if you can just throw a high enough ranged temp sensor (theromcouple that came with your DMM, for example) into a pot of it on the BBQ, you can see when it boils.
    • I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?
