stevo_gj Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 Hey guys, My mechanic just let me know that I need to find a tensioner bearing so he can get the aircon installed. Does anyone know where I can find one? Cheers, Steve Quote
xa1973 Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 Get some specs.....a commondunny door, falcon or tojo unit will more than likely suit..... Quote
Ben Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 The model number is written on the bearing - simply remove the current unit and read off the numbers Quote
dazzed Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Hi, Steve, hey off the topic a bit ,,,, maybe what your Doc means is that by using bp5es plugs which are hotter , the spark plug will run cleaner and make it easier to read for tuning purposes then once tuned fit the Bp6ES plugs , i know in 2 stroke racing engines opening the spark gap up makes the plug run colder, ,,,,cheers Dan,, Quote
stevo_gj Posted December 7, 2009 Author Posted December 7, 2009 Yeah Cheers Dan, I'll ask him about it. Regarding the tensioner bearing I do not currently have one on the car. I guess I will need to find the part number for it. Does anyone have access to part numbers for 260z tensioner bearings? Mine is from 1975. Quote
Mr240z Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 I would go to CBC bearings and get them to go though there old catalogs. There would be a listing for sure. As I said in the p.m if you get stuck I will chase it up for you, I have some connections there. I have plenty for free time atm. Quote
Ben Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 Maybe my reply didn't come across as intended... The easiest way to work out the bearing number is to remove the locknut and dust shield, the model will be stamped on it (from memory the model number is based on the OD, ID & width of the bearing). Read off the number at your local CBC and they'll have one in stock. Quote
stevo_gj Posted December 7, 2009 Author Posted December 7, 2009 My mechanic found one that fit perfectly and even had the same colour from a Bluebird, so it's all sorted. thanks for the replies! Quote
xa1973 Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 So I can add a bluebird bearing to my previous post along side the commondore, tojo etc, did you get the model and year........... Cheers Quote
stevo_gj Posted December 7, 2009 Author Posted December 7, 2009 Nah Mechanic found it in a car yard in Ipswich, sorry. Quote
