after the problems i have been having with my fan belt in my ZD30. (getting fixed at the moment -thread no: 69890). i gave Richie from Hume offroad a call (good bloke) to see what i can do to stop this anoying problem form occuring.
Richie is on the case and trying to develop an alternative tension system to the shock one.
he has a couple of things in mind and i have to get back to him next week, to see what he has created.
considering this is the starndard system, i am no amused, to say the least. it appears to be that when the huge serpintine belt gets wet, the shock type tensioner can not place enough pressure on the belt to stop it slipping.
hopefully Richie will have a solution for this.
i sent a turd gram to Mr. Nissan about this, as im not the only one who experiences this problem. not expecting a great reponse, but you never know

I had a squeeling belt, ect, on the Navara ( pre-Patrol ), after a desert trip.
I got in behind the Pully's with Inox and flushed the dust out, basically as we drove back out from
the Desert.
Interestingly though, ouot of the blue 2 years later I had develloped another squeel........ Change the belt I thought, and did...
Still squeeling....MMmmmmmm I know, lube the belt with the "magic stick".
Still squeeling...... it's the belt tensioner I thought
2 hrs later it was back on all lubed up, new belt, next day, still squeling......????????/
Getting angry by now..... put old belt back on....Squeeling Stopped, and never happened again
You go figure !
I never could
Cheers
