Quick Tip: Z31 Power Steering Tensioner

If you are having difficulty figuring out how to tighten or loosen the power steering belt on your Z31, this is a quick video on the tensioner set up on the VG30e. It should be as simple as loosening the "jam bolt" on the front and then loosening the nut on the tensioner to loosen the belt, or tighten the nut to tighten the belt.

Great video and info. Recently did all the drive belts on my Z, had a whale of a time trying to figure out what to loosen for the PS and alternator.

Hey bro I got a z31 and I'm not getting any spark at all I got a new ignition coil.. distributor, distributor cap and I'm not getting spark I need some pointers do you know what could cause that

[@TheZGarage]

If you're not getting any spark out of the cap it's more likely that the ecu isn't firing it. I would check the CAS and the ecu itself and all associated wiring

If I get loud squealing after alternator belt replacement… too tight or too loose?

[@TheZGarage]

Most likely too loose but you also want to make sure there's no oil dripping on it or the pulleys that could be causing it to slip
