Hey,
I'm going to replace the drive belts on my '96 Infiniti G20...I have purchased NAPA Tension Gauge to set the belt tension correctly since it's my first time and I don't like the idea of guessing. I have FSM for a 1993 G20 and it doesn't specify tension adjustment, only deflection. So basically the gauge I purchased is useless.
I know that newer models nissan's specify tension adjustments. Is there any way I can find that info?
Any input would be appreciated...
Thank you!
Regards,
Viktor

Would the dealership have this info?

the dealers will have the info, you should just ask one of the mechanics. But all i do is just tension up the belt, and then try turning the belt no more than a quarter turn, and thats about it. Otherwise, try feeling the tension of the belts as they are now, and when you swap them, just mimick what they feel like now. I know its not the technical way of doing it, but it does work.
