Damn man you did it on with ease. Everything still on the car and all. Good stuff man. Now if I ever need to do mine I know how easy it is. Have you did the realignment of the AC compressor?
@@sombratheq50To realign the compressor you have to evacuate the refrigerant and stuff. Best option is just to replace the (lower) idler with a 2021+ Nissan Z part number which is the updated one that doesn’t shred belts or get misaligned. Replace that and put a new belt on and you’re good for 100K.
That's simple. It's a positive and ground. You can tap into the headlight harness so it only comes on when the headlights are on unless you want it running 24/7 which I think is stupid but hey...
@@sombratheq50 wow! That’s impressive tbh, but ideally you want to change them out every 20k ish miles so they don’t tare. The VR30 is known to eat belts lol‼️ I change mine out every 15-20k ish depending on the indicator. I’m tuned FBO, so make a lot more power vs stock & is the the reason I change them out sooner vs later.
@@djivan831they eat belts mostly due to the misaligned ac compressor pulley. Z1 motorsports sells the replacement and a belt for 150 dollars. No more belt problems after that. But belts should be changed anytime you hear a squeaky noise when you accelerate.
All you had to do was lock the belt tensioner with an Allen key .Easy

Never done the realignment before ,everything seems to work perfectly fine

Damn, did not know it was this easy. What was that long tool you used to break the bolt on the tensioner?
Lol it was a long tube I had in my garage I don’t even remember what it was .
Thanks! Now I know the easiest way to do this, on my Q50.
Thanks for the video!
