Excellent & Speedy transaction right on time for scheduled install. All, due to a situation with belt shortage, I was getting worried that I wouldn't get my pulley kit and belt on time for my appointment tomorrow.

Mike was very professional, reassuring and was able to overnight my items right on time for install tomorrow.

He even added soem m&m chocolate in the package :bowrofl:
Install review to come...A++ sponsor and will definitely do business with again. :tiphat:

So whats the method you used to remove the factory pulleys ?

i.e; air tools or hand tools ? what all needs to be removed in order to access
the pulleys ?

Air tools are a definite must.

I am here at a garage. They have been working on this thing for an hour now and haven't even gotten the old pulley off. Said they were going to need to remove something (think he said alternator but he is Japanese and has a strong accent so I could be wrong).

How did you guys get this thing on? Did you go through the wheel well?

They are going from underneath.

darrinps 02-26-2011 12:40 PM

Well they have it off but the new one will not go on. The key slot is too small. Going to have to widen it. Ugh. :shakes head:

These guys rock. They came out to the Baker Tuning meet in Houston the other weekend. These are for sure top notch parts! Bet there would be some nice gains with my TT

Finnally got around to installing mine yesterday. Old pulleys came off smooth and new one went in smooth.

Weights:

Oem crank 4.75lb
Nst crank 1.25lb (thats with the powdercoat!!)

Oem alternator .45lb
Nst alternator .2lb (with the powdercoat )

So yes my pulleys are powdercoated pearl white. Why? Cus im a crazy a$$.

Did not dyno. But feels different in a good way. Maybe its mental but it def felt peppier on initial surging.

Curious. Did you do the work or did you have someone do it for you?

How long did it take?

My crank pulley required quite a bit of finish to get it to fit.

wasnt able to simply push the crank in but you can start it in. then just put in the crank bolt and turned the wrench and it pushed it in without trouble.

+1. The NST pulleys are made to be a tighter fit than stock. Making sure that the pulley is lined up STRAIGHT and using the crank bolt to walk it on the rest of the way usually works. A light bit of sanding also helps in certain rare cases.

Good luck and have fun with all your projects!

The thread appears to have cooled off a bit, so this might be a good time for an initial review of the NST pulleys post install.

Installation: I had the install done at Hills Garage (highly recommended shop) in Baltimore by Frank (Nissan Master Technician) and Suzanne; the install went as smooth as baby skin. I was worried about fitment, sanding issues or having to take the alternator out but luckily none of that happened. Install took a little over an hour and the car was ready to be picked up.

Parts: I went for the kit with the 2 pulleys and belt stock grayish finish, the parts looked great and very clean plus Mike@NST did provide a fantastic customer service along the way, kudos to you Mike.

Driving Review: The pulley kit is a great replacement for the vehicle so far, Triple nailed it when he stated something in his review about the car feeling smoother and having a better flow overall. Now compared to the stock pulleys, the NST pulley give a much better throttle and once again smoothness while switching gears and cruising. It may be just me but I feel like there is a power gain from the 3rd gear and above.

Overall, would I recommend the pulley kit so far based on the initial miles... absolutely yes. Will keep all posted on kit experience as mileage goes up.

I am confused, so if I want to buy this mod off your website, do I just need to buy the set of 2 or do I need to buy a belt as well. If so, is the belt shown on the same page with the pulley the one that I need to have the set of 2 installed? I own a 370z

Once I pay for it how soon would you guys post them?

Please let me know so I can get this asap thanks

jona1986129 03-20-2011 06:12 PM

bought and paid for them on Thursday but no email received yet. I thought u guys have them in stock?
