Need Info ASAP

Does anyone know the sizes for the two stock belts connected to the pulley that runs the power steering pump and the alternator. I installed a UDP, however with my huge electrical draw I can't afford to be underdriving my alternator and need to put the stock one back on. Can anyone tell me the stock belt numbers??

You can call the Nissan part department or any autopart stores for the info.

It might be in your owner's manual.

Have you tested the draw? I haven't noticed any difference with my UDP on current draw.

After more testing the draw of my system (2 amps that push ~1200RMS, NOS bottle blanket, DVD/NAV, TV, XM, Radar, Cell phone charger, etc) is just too much for the stock alternator, so we are going to install a custom built one (200A) to take care of the problem.

Wasn't this info part of the features of the UDP in the first place? I thought that is what it is supposed to do...and that is why it did not make sense for me to get one (besides teh fact I have an auto) and am running too much other drawing items to make it worth it...


just pondering...

Larger and better alternator should take care of the problem.
