How do I Adjust the Tension on the water pump Belt? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

As the title reads, I need to adjust the tension on the water pump belt. It is too loose. I remember doing it once with a buddy of mine, but I'm not sure which bolt(s) it is. If its the one behind the right pulley or what???

Thanks in advance.

No I don' think they're the same. I remember working on the right side of the engine only when adjusting it. Thanks, though.

Its the power steering tensioner. All the belts on your engine connect to some kind of tensioner. Look closely at it and you will see this.
