My car has an underdrive pulley on it.

Is it possible to tighten the stock belt so it wont make slipping noises?

The noises happen just upon start up. Then they go away...

Through a search, I found:

ALTERNATOR & A/C BELT:
GATES, Part# K060408
(41.5" or 1055mm) or
GATES, Part# K060410
(41" 5/8 or 1066mm)

POWER STEERING BELT:
GATES, Part# K040300
(30.75" or 780mm)


Either one of the Alternator + a/c belts will work?

Anyone have a write-up on how to
-replace belt
-tighten belt


Thanks.

He did it on an 02 max.

The VQ35 has the same belt sizes as my VQ30?

My question was whether I need the new belts, or I could just tighten the stock one.

 

Did you even read the write-up? He has write-ups for a VQ30 AND VQ35. Take a look again and you will find the answer to your belt size question.

And no, you cannot "shorten" the belts... you have to get belts that actually fit.

 

I found it...
he says

So am I correctly assuming that they will work on a 2000 maxima since they worked on his 99 ?

Thanks again for the info puppetmaster.
I didnt notice that link to the write up for his 99 install.
