Ok, so I've worked on heavy machinery vehicles such as fire trucks and many brands of cars including ford of course. It's the easy thing on the planet to change a belt, I just did a full tune up on 3 of my buddies vehicles recently, yet I cant find the pulley to the serpentine belt on my q45. This is my first foreign car and also my dream car. I'd like to get rid of this squeak. Is there anyone who knows the locations of the pulley(s) and especially the one for the serpentine. I've looked up many diagrams but they don't match the set up I have on my car. Which is the one where the alternator is at the top of the belt diagram. please help, thanks. :confused:

Check out your car's factory service manual at www.infinitiservicemanual.com

Nissan products typically use multiple belts with individually adjustable pulleys, so you'd loosen the center bolt on the pulley and loosen the adjusting bolt on that pulley.

the VH41DE in the 2000 FGY33 has 4 NON-serpent belts.
hint: there is one that just turns the water pump, and the double pulley on the water pump, also then runs the alternator.
