Replacing t-belt Saturday
Got a friend that works for Lexus who used to work on Nissan for 10 years and is gonna help me do this change on Saturday. Heres the list of parts that I picked up that will be changed out:
- t-belt
- t-belt tensioner
-cam seals (2)
-front crank seal
-water pump
-thermostat
-3 accessory belts (a/c, power steering, alternator)
-5 quarts of Castrol high mileage 10w-30
-fram oil filter
also picked up:
-rebuilt Bosch alternator
-battery (haven't picked out what brand yet)
Now this car will be ready for the winter months ahead and the commutes around DC.

Success! its all been done. Was helping him out till about 7:00 this evening. Didn't start till about 2:00, and there was complications of getting the lower pulley off. He got it off, but it chipped off two parts on the backside of the "belt guide". So he filed down those spots so it wouldn't chew up the belt. So now I'll go to the yard and get a pulley and get it put on eventually. But I will be paying close attention to the belt in the next few weeks.
Cam seals were not too bad. Just had to make sure the sprockets didn't moce position when we pulled them off. Car seems like it runs smoother, but that might be my imagination. The old alternator was the original one I think also! Now if I fix the sunroof and power antenna, I will be set.
20% window tint, here I come...
