If Nissan told it me was Monday today I'd check my calender... there is alot of speculation on this and there is 2 camps. 1 that the oem crank pulley is a harmonic damper and it absorbs vibrations. The second and correct theory is that the oem crank pulley is only a heavy piece of metal. Its not got a rubber damper in it as some people say. The crank is internally balanced and a v6 crank is quite short and quite stout. Changing the crank pulley will have little to no effect on the crank. There is a few people running them for 100k miles in the states. I did alot of research before buying them as obviously I wouldnt want to damage anything.

Mark updated his recommendation. The 313hr only have knock control to 5krpm

It does make a difference, car is certainly nippier under 3.5krpm. According to the car I have gained 1 mpg too, But i dont know. The old ones are really really heavy compared to the ams ones and the ams ones arent under driven either. But its always power to £ ratio or £ to grin factor. Exhaust and intakes usually win that but if you do have a couple of hundred quid spare then its a good upgrade. Also belt change will be 30 mins to 1 hour but it took me alot longer to change my pulleys. Mine isnt a manual but even on other cars I have changed pulleys on its alot longer than just the belt change.

but if you said you don't want to spend too much an exhaust will give you more pleasure. If you got the money to burn they are ok. If not then your not going to be losing out on so much power or anything. Generally this is a later mod after exhaust spacer etc

It's gone a bit OT Don't get japspeed stuff. If your going to get pulleys get AMS. They see awesome quality and super light. They also have a steel "collar" to stop main seal leaks or oil coming out from the crank bit. In the kit you get crank alt and idler pulley. I just removed the older pulley to copy 06 engines. You could just replace the pulley you get in the lot but it does nothing. I have a review on them when I'm on the of il send you the link

Gunmetal maybe? but are you serious about 80% of members seem to be from up there Search isn't working but it's good for trying. Try them in google or put them Up here. Enjoy the car I love 6n2's they haven't made a nicer shape since IMO.

Actually I 100% agree when you put it like that. It's all in fun the end puts a smile on my face and theirs so it's all good.

The point the Doc was making is that when people are selling you things they will do it to benifit themselves. Now I've personally doing Abbey to be very good as the Doc has pointed put but not all people are as good. Poor analogy here but if your hungry for fish and chips and you phone up a kebab shop you might end up with a kebab. I've had garages say parts won't fit and when I tried they fit fine. I've been sold things they don't fit my car when I was explicitly sold they would. I just asked the wrong people. Also tuning is a dark art as such some people swear by one thing and not another. Why are they so many different plenum spacer sizes and angles, everyone can prove they are better than the next but sometimes you have to make your own choices. Unless I was getting it fitted by Abbey I wouldn't ring at all personally.

The pulleys don't make a difference on the dyno. Something to do with inertia. Personally I got some AMS pulleys and did a idler pulley delete. I personally think its made a massive difference at sub 3.5krpm to resposiveness and acceleration. It's easy just to jump up 5mph now when driving at 30.

What is the point of them? Don't they spend more time seeing the inside of the washing machine than being on the car All the ones I have seen look like dead rats tied to the bumper, dragging on the tarmac Its just a little bit of fun really. I have scotch guarded my hello kitty. Its sooo cute and people notice the kitteh quickly. Its got a pinky tartan skirt and bow on. They started off as drift charms but IMO its just something funny. I wonder what it looks likes at 70mph Your right about the dragging I used to have a giraffe but i left the cable tie loose so he was always getting wet feet

Why? I love mine, one of the favorite mods to the car

Im sure someone drilled a hole and put a self taper in and this did the same thing.

Most people run super for various reasons but I was told to only ever put 99 or above into an import. I dont think petrol in Japan is alot better than here and even 99 isnt as good as what they have there. My import even by previous owners was run on 99 or the likes.

Bar the m5 badge I like it.

For real real? Not for play play? Happy birthday

I can see a few advantages of these. One they won't get rusty. Two they have a longer ramp and less of an angle so low cars can get up. The foam is one peice so no weak points or welds to fail. Plus they look pretty good

Mine has double.

That beetle is lovely its got the 1.8 20vt engine souless but 270hp and did you see the interior

Muddy's old car?

Tyre paint looks awesome.

+1. Could be interior, heatsheilds, engine coming to rest, exhaust, fans or 100 different things.

I doubt it would be the headgasket but it could be. I've not seen many N/A head gaskets fail. The gaskets I was on about are the rocker covers ones (I think) they can let oil into the spark plugs but at the top side. http://my350z.com/forum/maintenance-and-repair/518576-oil-in-my-spark-plug-well.html

If its oil on the top of the spark plugs then Its something to do with the gaskets Im sure. If its oil on the electrode side plus you have high oil usage that could be a problem. What grade of oil are you using?
