just wanted to let you know, i dont know your sn or real name. Sick g35 btw. Heres the pic i snapped of your vortech:

i noticed it when i was reading sentry65 thread and looking through my vortech pics.

hope this helps!

 

I wonder if this is Sean's G (Gilley).

 

Jackshaft pulley looks fine to me.

 

That's mine. What's wrong with the pic so I can correct it? Is the bolt for the tension pulley installed in the wrong direction?

 

according to the pic posted in sentrys vortech question thread, the bolt is backwards. Its seems to cause some issues.

Yup, looks like he is right. It is installed the wrong way.

 

Ahh, it is backward. I guess I missed that thread. Thanks for the heads up!!

And thanks for the props on my G.

 

Good looking out...

 

Great post in the true interest of the community and why we are all here.

 

Nice heads up; very cool.

 

Mine was backwards for about 20,000 miles. Oh well car is gone anyway.

And for the record, it wasnt installed by us, but I guess we should have caught it.

But seriously, thanks for bringing this up...it is easy to see that this could easily be confused.

 

Mine is on wrong too. Gilley and I are going to correct them both tonight. Thanks for the info.

 

 

Exactly! This is what this forum (and forums like G35Driver) are for. Too bad it can't always like that.

 

Every Vortech owner should check thiers . Its easily put on wrong , and runs extremely hot when on wrong

 

Great post as this should hopefully help out a lot of vortech owners.

 

I changed the bolt around tonight.

One more question to make sure the pulley is on the right way. That tensioner pulley has a retainer clip in it. Does that clip go toward the front or the rear of the car?

 

towards the rear of the car.

from the intall ins, 6.I;

"...install the aluminum idler with the bearing retainer snap ring pointed towards the rear of the vehicle."
