Is it me or is it difficult to get a hold of these guys on the phone? Been trying to check the status of my order. :-(

They have the most random hours

SATX_NISMO · 01-23-2013, 08:19 PM

Yeah Ive been calling between 12 and 6 PM amd left them a couple messeges. No luck

I've had the same issues with them before. From my experience they do check up on the forums often and will occasionally respond.

Keep checking up on the forums.

Keep trying their pulleys look awesome on the motor

SATX_NISMO · 01-24-2013, 07:17 AM

Man they do look great. .!!! Did you rebuild/build your motor? But yeah I ordered a set of black ones about 3 weeks ago. Can't wait to get them and install them...!!

SATX_NISMO · 01-25-2013, 01:09 PM

Finally got a hold of them. Should have them in my hands by next Tuesday. Can't wait

Just curious. Has anyone been able to get the crank pulley bolt off by putting it in 6th gear and standing on the brakes hard while using a breaker bar? That's what has worked on other cars.

Do you guys have any of these pulleys in stock? I tried calling several times but no one has answered.

I don't have a 6MT to do that with. Mine was a real bitch to take off, and the car was pretty new at the time as well. What finally got mine loose was locking the flywheel in place with a prybar wedged into the teeth/housing at just the right angle, and then lifting the handle of the breaker bar on the bolt itself with a floor jack (!!). The jack -> breaker bar actually lifted the front of the car a little bit up off the jackstands before the bolt gave way.

Another technique that I've successfully used on a very different vehicle, and which definitely won't win you any OSHA safety awards (but could win you a Darwin award!): Put a long/extended breaker bar on the pulley bolt, and get it locked/wedged against the frame of the car (in the appropriate rotational direction...), and then go bump the ignition switch to spin the starter for the breaking torque. That was on a car that didn't have spark and fuel hooked up yet, and you definitely need the spark power disconnected. Actually having the engine catch and fire up during that would be pretty bad. Even then, there's a pretty decent risk of throwing a projectile breaker bar out at high velocity and damaging something/someone.

I should add, to counterbalance all my bad advice above: the obvious professional way to get it off easily is to remove the radiator first so you can get direct straight access to the bolt with a large impact wrench (and a torch for heat if necc).

Has anyone that has installed one of these pulley sets noticed any perceptible difference in steering effort due to under-driving the power steering pump?

Just curious.

I think a lot of people ask this and no one has a definitive answer... I have the 20% UD from Stillen and I didn't feel any difference

XwChriswX · 02-07-2013, 01:00 PM

If you have the NST set, the PS pulley isn't UD, it's the Crank and Alternator pulleys that are lighter...

... You need to sleep more... If the crank is UD, all your accessories are UD
