How to tighten alternator belt? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I have some embarrasing squeaking belts that sound every time i start my car or whenever I come to a stop/press on the brakes in neutral.
I've been able to locate 2 tensioners and have gotten the bolts very tight, but that hasnt helped. I can't figure out where the tensioner is for the alternator belt, could someone give me an idea?

also , tightening the tensioner bolt tightens the belt correct? or is it the other way around, because nothing seems to stop the squealing.

Edit: all belts were new as of 2 months ago ; no fluid leaks
