NST (NonStopTuning) 370Z VQ37HR Pulley Kit Review w/ Dyno Charts

Moemeister · 09-01-2009, 12:16 PM

the one i currently have on it is a six rib and it is perfect size... maybe just slightly too big the one i just got dilivered is a K070786 Gates Micro-V AT and soon as im done installing this short shifter im pulling off the skid plate and tensioner and installing the new belt... altho beware the belt is a reinforced belt and lists for 64 bucks... i got mine for 28 shop cost which is still alot for a belt imo

jpit · 09-01-2009, 01:13 PM

I was looking at the K070786, also. Please let me know how it fits. Did you put on the alternator pulley?

Moemeister · 09-01-2009, 02:54 PM

so i got the new belt on and its perfect within spec and everything... and yes i have the alt pulley on it also.

well tyvm nst for the pulleys i do like them they work as good as they should but for further 370z customers i would either recommend to them a new belt or sell them one with the kit... i have pics but cant put them up till im home this cell phone is a pos... BTW Thanks for the package of m&ms with the pulleys they helped me through the install :-P

Do you get a choice of peanut, or just Regular M&M's?

jpit · 09-01-2009, 05:32 PM

Mine were peanut. Is changing the belt a two man operation or can it be done by one?
How do you hold the auto tensioner back? Thanks.

Moemeister · 09-03-2009, 11:35 AM

ya mine were also peanut which is cool since thats my fave...
and the tensioner thing i did it myself from underneath the car and it took some maneuvering to get it on but i would polly recommend two people one up top the other below... makes it easier for the ac compressor and pas pump

tcarretti · 09-03-2009, 12:24 PM

OK, how hard of an install is this guys? I've called around and gotten prices for installation from two places. One for $150 and one for $240... both of which I think are a little high considering that from what I've read that this is about a 1.5 hour job with the right tools.

I'm not a mechanic so I don't know that I'd be able to do it on my own, but I don't want to feel like I'm getting gouged on it either.

Any feedback or information would be great.

Thanks,

Tony

jpit · 09-03-2009, 04:09 PM

I paid the mechanics 1.5 hours worth although they took a little longer. Must remove the starter and the alternator.

Pointman · 09-03-2009, 05:45 PM

Moemeister thanks for all the great info for the correct belt and install tips.

I had Cobb in Plano Tx install one for me this morning. It was 1.5 hours @ $85.00 per hour or $127.50. Probably took an hour to do.

tcarretti · 09-04-2009, 03:13 PM

Denny,

Thanks for the info. Did you do just the underdrive pulley or both? I have heard that if you do the alternator pulley, it's best if they remove the alternator to do it.

Thanks,

Tony

Damn that makes me glad I install all my own stuff, by the time i have my headers, testpipes, and intake on I will have saved enough money to buy like three sets of these.

Edit: oh and RCZ you could always run the underdrive crank pulley and go for the next level up boost pulley for a supercharger, thats what i ran on my beretta and they were sized so i was actually making a pound more boost than before

Don't hate me....... Because I'm pretty and also that I had the the Stillen pulley installed using the stock alternator pulley. Frankly I have real issues with Stillen over the exhaust system that took me a month to finally make work so it didn't bang or rattle with zero Stillen support. However, ate crow and bought theirs anyway. Wanted the 20% under drive vs 10%. Does 20% vs 10% really make a differenc.....hell, I don't know.

After the header install fiasco, I was glad as hell to pay someone to install the pulley as I don't have the right pulley puller and it's a hell of a lot easier on a hoist vs flat on your back. Turns out Cobb didn't have the right pully puller either but got lucky and used two screw drivers to pry it off.
