What were the part numbers of the belts they sent you?? It seemed the small belt was to small and the larger belt was to big.. WTF... I a m so ****ed at them..ANd they were NIssan belts.. not gates.

 

yup, I had to get new belts also.... I am going to mail him. They were the wrong size....

 

Dude I was SUPER SUPER ****ed... THE ONLY reason I broke that bolt and stripped the other was because I kept saying.. no noo he wouldnt send me the wrong part.. no no.. freakin JERK.. what an uprofessional job that was... took 3 weeks to get the pully.. OH did i mention it didn't take 3 weeks to charge my credit card AND I have 2 wrong belts.. AND now I am carless untill I get that bolt from Dave B.. who is very cool i might add...

I do not recomend buying anything from ultimate z...

 

Can you please supply me with the correct part #'s for the gates belts that they recommend??

 

UMD ... can u post on what he says? Mine is with Aaron (theBlue) in Rochestor ... so I had no idea ... shietz!

 

I'll e-mail him asking him about the belts tomorrow.... One of the belts was the exact same as the stock belt and the other one might have been the right one, but I don't know... The mechanic decided not to risk it and got me some gates belts....

 

I wondered about using OEM belts with a UDP. After all, the belts used with the UDP couldn't be the same size as the OEM belts. And it wouldn't make sense for Nissan to manufacture belts that were the wrong size. So it struck me that you'd have to use aftermarket belts with a UDP. Perhaps I should have said something. But I'd already mentioned some other concerns I had about the deal in the Group Deals forum and my comments weren't too well received, at which point I headed for the exit.

For what it's worth, there wasn't anything I liked about Coz's "group" deal, and I'm glad I didn't have anything to do with it. For my money, I'll stick with Greg, Phuong and Paul.

Good luck to everyone who got involved. I sincerely hope it works out OK for all of you.

 

you know I wasn't going to say anything, but ya know... Coz's group deal was a horrible horrible expierence... ya know.. I wait 3 weeks for a pulley I paid for the day I ordered it. When I get It I and I notice the belts don't fit I call Coz.. I say.. "is Coz there?" he sais, "nope is there something I can help ya with".. So I go on about how these belts are made from nissan..?? and he sais well.. looking at this chart they should be fine.. he kept muttering something about a 95... a 95.. i dunno he said he was closing in 12 min.. so... HA.. Well I can tell you this.. I'll only make that mistake once...I don't care if I have to pay 50 bucks more for a stupid freakin car part.. for the service, "knowledge", I'll pay a lil more for it next time. go straight to the source.. not like I got a deal on it anyways.. 200 bucks..

 

I have purchaced 300 ZX tt parts from Coz and he has an impeccable rep on TT.net. There must be a unique problem.

 

 

I'd like to c how Coz handles this ... it could make or break his reputation on the .org ...

 

ohboiya

do you live in rochester?

 

No, I live in Toronto but I know Aaron who lives in Rochester. I got the UDP shipped to him b/c if I had it shipped here it would've cost more & I would have had to worry about customs & duties ... where r u?

 

Can everyone who has e-mailed Coz post here? I want to know what his response is before I e-mail him ... but if it's beating on a dead horse ... then I'll just let e/o else deal with it for the .org community ...

 

Alternator & Water Pump belt should be a 6-rib, 408mm length (ie K060408)

Power Steering should be a 4-rib and 292mm length (ie K040292 or K040300)

What size belts were sent?

 

You guys think you got it bad? I still have not recieved my freaken UDP from COZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I emailed him 5 days ago and I still have not heard a damn thing, he never even gave me a tracking #. This is getting apsurd and it looks like I am going to have to dispute the credit card charge. I am really, really ****ed about this right now!!!! Damn it..

 

well, I mailed him..... lets see what he says...

 

HA.. I wish I never ever ever got that fu***** thing from him.. I am so livid about this right now.. MY CAR IS OUT OF COMMISION AGAIN... I had to overnight the long nut that the long eye bolt has to go into to adjust the front pulleys...AGAIN with no car.. I then HAD to use a lil urban engineering and make a long bolt for the rear adjuster BECAUSE the other one got bent(that is the only bolt I could not get overnighted). WHY did it get bent you ask.. BECAUSE COZ sent me the wrong belts.. SO I loosened.. and tightened about 10 times.. ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG... SOOOOO MADDDDDDDDDD...

 

But they were def the wrong size...

BTW. Should I have any problemes with this..

The only place that had them (gates) were NAPPA.. They said gates makes their belts and that they are the same part #'s but they still say nappa on them...

IS that o.k???

 

For what it's worth, I got my UDP from Courtesy along with the belts in a package buy. The Belts are the correct size. Perhaps someone should post the correct sizes for future reference.

 

got rice (Phuong) posted the numbers and I have pictures as proof on my website.

 

Whew! I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger even though I was tempted at the time. I hope everything works out for you all.

Coz, post so that these people won't be left hanging!

 

I shall take pictures today

 

I just called UltimateZ and Coz is away on vacation until Monday. This explains why nobody has heard from him. Hopefully he will kindly resolve all of our problems on Monday or Tuesday. The guy who answered the phone said he had trouble getting all the UDP and he said that they just recieved a few more so I guess mine will come soon. I don't mind waiting but I do like to know whats going on..

 

i bought a few parts from him and didnt have any problems. Hopefully coz will resolve this when he gets back, he doesnt seem like the kind of person to purposely do something like this.

 

it wasnt when I finished putting it on today.. then after 10 min of driving it squeaky squeaky..

How do I measure deflection..? of belts..

 

you are supposed to take the portion of the belt in the middle of the two pulleys and then press down on it... I don't know the specs off-hand though....

 

Right. I notice the belts you have pictured on your website are aftermarket belts. So here's the big question, Kev. Does Nissan manufacture belts in those sizes or do you have to purchase aftermarket belts when you install a UDP?

 

I don't know if Nissan manufactures belts in those sizes, so I went the aftermarket route (the UDP instructions listed part numbers so I couldn't have gone wrong).

 

Thanks, Kev. I guess we'll have to wait to hear back from Coz about the belts. He'll have a lot of explaining to do if it turns out that Nissan does not manufacture belts in the correct sizes for use with the UDP.

 

What belt size did people get (the Nissan belts)?

 

or I would go in the garage and check for you .. I will do It later on in the day bro.

 

well, the power steering belt was the exact same part number as the stock belt. The other one looked like it was slightly smaller, but I decided not to take any chances and told the guy who installed mine to get some Gates belts that were recommended by UR.

 

The Gates belts were hard to get on already... I can't imagine trying to put on even smaller belts.

 

For the person that posted squeeking problems and for the guys that haven't received their pulley yet - use sandpaper and sand down the inner portion of the UR pulley. The pulley is anodized, making it a little more difficult for the belt to sometimes get enough friction. The rougher texture will prevent the belt from slipping.

 

I just sprayed some belt dressing in there.

 

Hm...I haven't really check the belts for my UDP, I bought it from Coz as well. I have a buyer that want to buy the UDP from me. How can I tell if I have the right size belt, is there a part number on them? The UPD is still in the box, so I haven't check it yet. If they're the wrong size, maybe I could just send it back for a refund? Since I have no need for it.

 

Well, since I got the UPD in my room. I checked the belts out.

These are the two belts that I got and their part number:

Part #: 11920-53J20(6 ribs)
Part #: A172M-26E0BVW(4 ribs)

Right or wrong belts?

 

Woah.... how do you read those belt sizes? I guess only Nissan would know.

 

Well, how else can you read them? You tell me.
