Seems as though my 91 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo is need of a complete Timing Belt job. I would assume this means all parts including the Water Pump and tensioners? If someone could give a a ballpark figure on what I should expect to pay for this job…Thanks :smash2: ---

[/quote] My Z is Lipstick Red a match for the car in your pic. I have an excellent, mechanic who is going to do the work but I wanted some more advice as to what to expect. The car is amazing condition and was shipped from Arizona to Buffalo last week. I am very satisfied with it, but was not informed of the gnashing sound coming from the belt housing when the car is running, even a novice would conclude, “Timing Belt Tension Pulleys” which is what I thought, with a brief hope it might be my Power Steering unit"…Which also needs to be replace…Any advice on what manufacturers to buy from and which to stay away from?:gotme: ---

If you go to [www.twinturbo.net](http://www.twinturbo.net) there is a FAQ section with many explanations of how to diagnose problems and perform many maint. items. One of the best people to buy from is a guy names Coz. He owns [www.czp.us](http://www.czp.us) Give him a ring and he’ll recommend all the stuff you’ll need for the 60k :tup: The only 2 places I buy parts from are CZP (the link above) and [www.splparts.com](http://www.splparts.com) I’ve never had a problem with either of them and I’ve been buying from them for over 6 years now :tup: ---

Thank you again, I previewed the site and they offer an impressive assortment of options. Including shorter belts(does this increase horsepower??) Thanks again, ---

eh…smaller/larger/whatever belts are normally options if you have some aftermarket pulleys of some sort just so they fit. i highly doubt a smaller belt on a stock parts would fit…because itd be too small lol…maybe im confused but thats my thoughts ---

[quote=“MEBsTURBO,post:10,topic:33206"”] Thank you again, I previewed the site and they offer an impressive assortment of options. Including shorter belts(does this increase horsepower??) Thanks again, [/quote] The shorter belts won’t fit or help you if your car is still at factory spec. The best mods are Intake (look for JWT POP Charger - you can get one for $100) exhaust and ECU. That’s a quick way to make your Z 400hp :tup: If you do decide to get an ECU, don’t go with JWT. Check out [www.ashspecz.com](http://www.ashspecz.com) and order one from him. Much better and costs less.
