I bought 2 different size belts. One worked and the other didnt. Ended up that the stock size fit for that one just fine so i used a new stock size. anyway, heres the sizes:

Alternator & Water Pump
1995-02 Gates # K060408

Power Steering
1995-02 Gates # K040292
If this one does not fit then try: Gates # K040300

So what benefits have you noticed from the UDP? I thought I read recently that there are no gains for 4th Gen Maximas from installing a UDP, but for 5th Gens there are.

Are they a waste of money for a 4th Gen or do they provide a benefit if you're running a big honking stereo, DVD, TV, MP3 player etc?

you will notice a difference....

where did you hear this false info from?


plus...if you have a big stereo, a UDP will actually be bad. The alternator will not be charged as quickly with a lighter UDP.

seriously, from what I've heard from many who have it/had it, the notice was extremely mininmal if they were even able to notice at all. I feel its a waste of money for something that is barely notice and barely frees up any power.

i dunno, i noticed a differance in top end when i had mine, it had alot more pull in high RPM's and seemed to just have alittle bit more power.

Def seemed worth it to me.

but it was a stupid RVM and it started leaking after like 6k!

if u guys are looking for a mod to make u notice it then u need something thats going to free up more hp then a udp. i installed mine and from the day i put it on i noticed a difference in my car. i really think that the more mods u have the more u would notive its effects. my car just revs so much easier with it on
