alright so this pulley isnt the same as stock and you need a timing ring to make it fit right?
is the install easy??? I think Jay25 will help me....

if i order the pulley ill be in for belts too...ill be letting you know about the pulley in about 2 days. how much will the total be with shipping and the belts????

 

sorry guys. cant make it on this group deal not enuff funds. great deal tho considering its lighter then the competitions pulleys. update me how well the installs went and performance gains. thanx

 

Hey guys, I am not shipping out today as of Friday,

GIVE ME A FINAL count on who wants belts and I will give you final pricing before I ship, so far there are 2 members wanting belts, is that it?

 

For those that are interested and live in California, what city are you guys located in? Are you guys in Laguna Hills? Can one pick up the pulley adn save on shipping cost? Also how much would it be for me total, for the pulley, and belts? Can you break down how much each belt is? Thanks. Get back to be cause I am pondering getting one of these. Oh one more thing, I have a system in my car. One amp is rated at 700w and the other is rated at 150 watts. How much of an effect will this have on my car/audio system. Thanks.

 

Hello,

You can pick up the pulley if you like, you will only save hte $5.00 on shipping.

Belt costs will be posted tomorrow.

I posted in the 4th and 5th gen forums all they said was it had no affect. So if you do a search, I bet that those questions and answers will come up. Although I am not %100 sure since I havent installed one on either car.

is this a one time deal or special offer? i'd like one in the future but no funds right at this time... thanks for giving us another option...

mike

 

I definitely want the belts.

 

Belts I can get are Advantix.

Prices will be $29 and that includes extra added weight for shipping. So three people interested in belts...anyone else, because I am only ordering them once for this group buy and wont have them available later, so let me know ASAP.

Will the aluminum timing ring work with the magnetic crank position sensor? Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't it need to be made of steel/iron?

 

RVM used stainless steel, stainless steel and steel have different magnetic qualities. Stainless and alumium both are not magnetic so it shouldnt have any affect.

-Nick

 

Here's the RVM pulley with a extendable pen magnet stuck to the timing ring.

 

What I am saying is that if these rings are going to be made of aluminum (to keep weight down), the magnetic crank position sensor (the sensor below the pulley on our VQ30's) will not be able to read the position of the crank pulley. I believe those tabs need to be made of some ferous material in order for our engines to start properly.

 

The picture above is a steel pulley. The ring I had to get my dimensions off of was stainless steel, which has the same magnetic qualities as Aluminum. I was not aware of this until I got a useful email from Kanaka telling me.

I will still have those pullies shipped out this week, I just need to call in and have some steel rings cut out.

-Nick

 

The problem with the RVM pulley is oil leakage caused by the oil seal abrading the bare aluminum. Simply put, a Maxima pulley appears to require a hard metal sleeve to prevent abrasion from the oil seal. As a result, Unorthodox Racing UDPs produced for Nissan Maximas have always incorporated hard metal sleeves.

The RVM pulley does not incorporate a hard metal sleeve. As a result, it may only be a matter of time before oil leakage occurs with the use of an RVM UDP.

 

Ok guys,

I am buying belts this week, so if you want them, you need to let me know ASAP, group deal on belts for $29 is over tomorrow 4/18/03.


Thanks
Nick

 

alright so what is the consensus on this pulley:

1. its better than the RVM cause oil leakage wont occur like RVM will

2. its not magnetic so the postition sensor will not work properly

I dont feel like the second was resolved on this thread.

 

I got an email from Nick on Friday. The reason he hasn't shipped yet was because he was getting steel (apparently, Kanaka convinced him about the magnetic requirement) timing rings cut and PLATED (so that it wouldn't rust). He said that he was waiting on the steel rings to come in. So, I think that takes care of (2) above. As far as (1) is concerned, the definitive UDP has a bronze ring so leaking will not be an issue.

 

what is the definitive UDP???????
is steel going to make it heavier?
who thinks this is still the best UDP for the money?

 

What is the definitive UDP? Lucky, see the title of this thread. Also, UDP = under drive pulley. As far as the steel ring weight is concerned, I asked Nick for the weight of the pulley with the timing ring. He said he will weigh the pulley with the timing ring when they (the timing rings) come in. As far as value, I still think this is the best so far. I wonder what the new price of the RVM UDP will be after they (RVM) start making the sleeve for their pulley.

 

oh my fault...gotta stop with the drugs. yeah i knew what udp was.
whens RVM going to be making that available?

 

4/20 huh?

Anyway, I have no idea if and/or when RVM will make theirs available with a sleeve.

 

2K2DEMAX: Thanks, you are correct, rings were made and are getting plated so they dont rust, weight wont increase anything more then the RVM or UR pulleys with their steel rings so its not going to be a big deal since the weights of the DMS pulley and UR pulley were shown without the rings.

Rings are suppose to be done Wednesday, I am working on getting this shipped tomorrow though so I gotta keep on the guys plating them. To those who sent payment, I am very sorry for the delay and your will be shipped ASAP.

Thanks
Nick

 

I wish... Accounting 2102 was where the fun was for me yesterday.

 

PLZ don't even consider getting RVM UDP

RVM UDP Su cks and they don't even stand behind the product they make.

and RVM states that they will increase the price by $25 to
$35 with sleeve on them, but i wouldn't recommand it because of customer service is really really bad!!!!

Hopefully I can join in on this GD and I love the way Defintive is trying to fix the problem and come up with solution fast.

And the fact that Defintive is holding back on shipping to fix the timing ring is really great customer service so that it won't cause any problem in the future because i would wait little extra and get quality product, where as RVM, they wanted to sell as much as UDP b 4 people finds out about the problem.

and still trying to sell bad product. They even ask me to sell my RVM UDP to someone else (i guess to someone who don't know about the problem) and even have the nerves to ask me to buy RVM UDP again once the new one with sleeve comes out. What a joke of company....

 

Hey Definitive guys...

Any chance of making a stock sized lightweight pulley for us Supercharged guys?

if this has been addressed, I apologize.

 

how much lighter is the Definitive VS. the Unorthodox again??

 

Hey, I am working with someone on creating a group buy, I only need 10 members who are willing to put up half the payment, which an estimate we have right now is about $140 if I get 10 buyers.

Its lighter by about an oz. even with the heavy and thick bronze bushing on.

Definitive


UR





TIMING RINGS ARE IN, I will have the pulleys for those of you who ordered shipped today. I am very sorry to the rest of you for having this take so long.

I will have pictures up shortly, I just have not gotten into my office yet.

Thanks
Nick

 

$140 is total right, so $70 up front?

Can you make them BLACK like the OEM color? Dealer's suck!

 

$140 + Shipping, but that is an estimate, I will put up another thread and we can discuss it in there.

Thanks
Nick

 

Clear Zinc Plated Steel Ring

 

ahhhhhhhhh looks very nice. how long will you have for $115 shipped?

 

You must e-mail me by April 26th, 2003 and mention the group buy to get the $115 offer.

Thanks
Nick

 

I am in for a stock size lightened pulley. Make a new thread and I will post in there. Maybe we can link it back to the boost forum

I ordered my pulley tuesday. Received it thursday!!! And I live in Hawaii. Much better construction than RVM plus it's blue!!! Got a new crankshaft oil seal today and put the pulley on in 90 mins. Works perfectly. no stalling like the rvm. Thanks Nick.

 

awesome, I am excited. mine is scheduled to come on wed.

 

Hey guys,

Thanks to all those that participated.
-Nick

 

is there another group deal coming soon nick. I know all the people who participated in the rvm group deal will be looking for your group deal since we got the belts.

 

I ordered mine today. Can't wait to get it. Nick has been great with answering questions and solving techincal issues. He even ensured that I could still get the GD price after the 4/26 cutoff date since I had originally emailed him when the GD started with an interest in a Definitive pulley.
