Update:

- Replaced Serpentine belt with K071040

- Replaced OEM missing idler pulley from 9 months ago (2:00 position from crank pulley)

- Replaced OEM grooved idler pulley on tensioner bracket (was a smooth idler pulley before)

- Replaced Engine oil with fresh 0w-40 Amsoil Signature series sold at a local shop 10 minutes away from me

- Replaced Engine coolant (because timing cover change required this also)


- Replaced supercharger belt with Gates K080220RPM (Car made 13.3 PSI with this belt), then the serpentine belt was shredded due to a slight misalignment of an aftermarket gates pulley that I first bought BEFORE putting in OEM ribbed idler pulley on the tensioner bracket, then replaced that aftermarket gates pulley with the OEM grooved idler pulley as stated above as well as replacing the supercharger belt with the previous non-RPM one, then made 12.2 PSI.

- Replaced Timing Cover because previous one had a couple minor oil leaks as well as bad threads for a few of the spots where pulleys go into (including the idler pulley spot that fell out in February of this year)

- In the process of the belts shredding, it apparently ate up and destroyed the wiring for one of my fans on the radiator, so only one of the fans work now, so I'm looking into having either that wiring replaced or the entire fan assembly replaced just so I can have a working correct wiring to have both fans working properly)

- Car is finally running how it should be (minus the radiator fan wiring that got destroyed). Finally, for the first time in 2 years, I have a working 370z that is making what it should be with the setup that it has currently (3.0" Direct SC pulley, 3.2" Jackshaft SC sided pulley, and 9 PSI (2.87" pulley) on the serpentine jackshaft side)
I couldn't believe it!

- I decided to finally take everyone's advice and stop bringing it to different random shops around my area, and am letting the person who has the only GTR Twin Turbo setup on his G37 work on my car (personal friend of mine in the bay area, CA) and it guess what? I'm finally seeing positive results after taking the advice people have been telling me for the last 2 years! lol.

I'm really happy with my car finally as it's running how it should be (minus the radiator fan issue but that is an easy fix).

Some good news for once on this thread from me!

There are many people I'd like to thank (too many to list) that have supported me throughout this entire time despite me being so stubborn and making dumb decisions left and right. A lot of people on this forums + facebook groups. Couldn't have made it this far without you all! So thank you!!

I hope to keep updating this thread with only positive, cool things. And not anymore negative, bad problems.

=)
