The local dealer in Victorville, CA did not have the parts and made some calls to other dealers in SoCAL for me. Long story short, we trailered the Z to the dealer in Montclair and they had me in and out within hour and a half. They change the idler pulley, replaced the belt and washed the car. They were awesome!!! No problems since then, but its always in the back of my mind and I check it regularly now.

That's good!
UPDATE: was supposed to get the Z back today but apparently after they put the whole tranny, power steering pump, and pulleys back together and started it they realized my AC compressor had some wires snipped off due to the serpentine belt ripping and probably whipping the wires thus cutting em. They had a warranty inspector stop by the Z today at the dealer to check it out so far and approve everything they were doing and now I'm waiting for warranty to approve the dealer ordering an AC compressor. I was told mid next week now. Needless to say, I miss the Z.
