Yes fella 05 DE, I bought mine new from a member some years back on the forum. Link below to the same one showing for 03-06 350z, I've also made a short video of the install. Would recommend to any DE owner, marked difference to the engine pick up. https://www.ebay.com/itm/VMS-Racing-Light-Weight-Aluminum-Crankshaft-Crank-Pulley-03-06-FOR-Nissan-350Z/311890702730?pageci=ff144ab8-2d14-49db-9a00-4f69aed47f8f&epid=17002480689

Bonkers machine, what a noise!!!! Supercar life yO!

MY20 refresh, must be the mk3 Nismo

ARGHHHHHH I want a 370z *I think

Any updates

Made a short video on how to install a lightweight crank pulley for the DE, flyby clip at the end.

This works, just tried it after knocking my key out being silly

Lovely addition, should spice things up nicely

My understanding is the only de cat/hfs that don't rasp, are the Motordyne ART pipes

VMS Racing bought new in box from a member on here some years back, this is a link to the same one. Very well made and even has the ever so slight recess to mirror the factory pulley, which I've noticed others dont Unorthodox/Z1. https://www.ebay.com/itm/VMS-Racing-Light-Weight-Aluminum-Crankshaft-Crank-Pulley-03-06-FOR-Nissan-350Z/311890702730?pageci=f67b9aed-1004-4c53-b477-581d065b082d&epid=17002480689

Timeless

For my old GTi had a XTD flywheel from the US, still have the OE one on my 350z.

I know what you mean. I had a lightweight crank pulley on my Almera GTi along with lightened flywheel for years and never had an issue. You of course hear about what can happen when removing the OE dampened steel pulley, however I very much doubt the SR20DE was engineered better than the VQ35DE. Inherently a V6 better balanced internally than a in line 4 too. No negatives so far, only driven it once for a couple hours - wished I had fitted it sooner but it's on now. That really cool, It's nice to see. Above modded cars and even cleaning cars that's my no.1 interest so can appreciate that.

Nice side by side video, shows the difference straight away. Liking your other much earlier uploads too, all praise to Yeshua.

Did it all from up top, but ideally it needs to be done from underneath with the undertray off mainly for the tensioner adjusters. Takes an hour on the drive, I've shot a video that I'll hash together at some point. I still have a dual mass flywheel, which will help absorb the rotational harmonics. Engine cover off Slacken both tensioners 14mm Undertray off Slacken both tensioner adjusters 12mm Remove both aux belts Put the box in 6th, hand brake on, wedge the brake pedal down, crack the 19mm crank pulley bolt loose and remove. Wobble the crank pulley loose. Fit the new sexy lightweight pulley *little bit of anti seize grease Tighten the 19mm which will bring the pulley down square. Torque to spec, 30lb-ft then 60° *I did 160mn Refit aux belts Rotate pulley by hand to check belt alignment and check for binding. Refit undertray and engine cover. 2/5 difficulty

Cheers pal, getting the spanners out on your own car is all part of the joy. In my excitement went out for a drive last night and the difference was felt straight away. Watching out for the placebo effect, I weren't expecting alot. Rolling on/off the throttle feels more fluid if that makes sense. I guess that touch easier now asking the big VQ to go from declaration to acceleration. Revs out quicker and so pulls just that touch harder. When pulling away normally, now feels smoother on take-up *always personally struggled with this. Even part throttle feels keen to build rpm. I would say it's made more of a difference to acceleration than any individual engine/exhaust mod thus far.

Ello n welkom

Fitted a lightweight crank pulley, tackled the job from up top. Definitely possible but unless you have skinny long fingers like me, set aside the time to take of the engine undertray to do it properly. 1kg vs 2.8kg Turned over twice by hand to check for binding, alignment looks good All tucked away hidden

Looks real special, very smart!! How have you found tyre wear on the rear being this low?

Fresh look for 2020 Lovely pictures from DA

I love them too, the 350z is a rounded curvy design. So harder straight lines for me helps balance the looks.

Cheers pal, I was never taken by the Nismo rear spats over the years and was very much in two minds about them along with the rear TS diffuser. Once the self tappers and tiger seal come out there no going back haha. C4 used on my carbon mirror caps and now the front bumper insert. Ideally to help with yellowing due to UV. Several items of carbon fibre later and for me the mix is about right. Ahhh yes Ive used Solution Finish on the Nissan Sunny plastic bumpers, very good stuff indeed. Just have to be careful how it's applied, I found I had to apply in continuous lines left to right, whereas with C4 you can get away looks wise with changing direction mid panel. Whereas SF needed contain levelling out prior to bonding to the surface.

Bang average in who's eyes? Clarkson slated the 350z in the days, VBH rated it highly. Point being enthusiast should buy what they like, not what motoring jurnos or youtubers tell them to like.

Few more pictures kindly sent me from the recent meet, always nice seeing your car thru the lens of another. Thank you @370z_fairladyz

Stunning company, no doubt a fab that you all must have had.
