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.
@TheOneFu33 not yet I'm having my car fully inspected at a family friend mechanics shop tomorrow morning. I Wanna be ready for any potential issues that will or can show up. Having the same issues? Will update you tomorrow if you'd like.
Yes that’s the belt , me personally I install a new belt every 20k to 25k miles to make sure the car it’s up to date . Better safe than sorry it’s better to buy a new belt than getting a tow truck
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.

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 .
Can use a breaker bar here.
Great video!! Thank you for sharing..
Thanks! Now I know the easiest way to do this, on my Q50.
Thanks for the video!
Good video 🙌🏻
Thanks 🙏🏼 subscribe for more car videos
Thx for sharing, I'm about to do my friend's 2017 qx50. Hoping that it's the same setup. How many miles on your car?
@@crispa1861 it’s not the same engine
@@sombratheq50 How many miles on the car though? Did you consider replacing the drive belt tensioner, and idler pulleys? Thx
Hey so im getting a squealing noise 3000-4000 RPM around 20-40 MPH could this be the belt or pulley system?...im afraid its turbos going bad
You found out what it was?

@@johnathanalfaro873any update?
@@robertlyznicki2407 had my mechanic look at it. The noise was indeed my belt. My turbos live to see another day

Hey brotha my tensioner is stripped do you know how to remove the tensioner ?
Use a nut remover tool , hit me up on instagram and send pics so I can help you
What tool did you use to release the tensioner? 1:43
It’s just a 3/8 ratchet with no socket.
What is the tool called you used at the beginning of the video?
Husky 3/8 in. Drive 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Ratchet
Where did you buy the lights and colored emblem?
Jalisco Carbón Fiber
How’d you get belt back on between the tensioner
That’s what I’m wondering
@ bro I figured it out & you have to like cram the belt back in between one of the pulleys.
@ I tried pushing it through to no success. How’d you get yours through
5:30 is that noise normal ?
Yes it’s the fuel pump
@@franciscorubalcaba861 Direct injection cars tend to sound like this .
Hey how’d you wire the front logo
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...
First comment
All you had to do was lock the belt tensioner with an Allen key .Easy
How you take it out tho 😅
Buy a Gates belt, OEM won’t last the same tbh. Best of luck ✌️
Thanks for the feedback ,the car was on an OEM Belt for 85Kmiles it lasted for a long Time

@@2seep thank you brother, I’ve been part of the platform for over 4 years & typically change belts 15-20k ish miles.
@@2seepto your knowledge, do you know if this is covered by powertrain warranty ?
Where’s you order the belt from?
