OEM Size Aluminum Light Weight Crank Pulley

Hey guys, DMS has had a lot of requests for OEM size, aluminum machined crank pulleys. These are especially good for guys with boost and guys with huge sound systems who cant have an under driven alternator or blower.

For this group buy to work, we need a minimum of 10 members willing to put in half payment which we estimate to be about $70 and have the total cost be $140 + Shipping.

As far as fitting VQ30 and VQ35, I need confirmation on this, I will check with Nissan and find out if the pulleys are the same size or not. Also the requirment of a timing ring for the fourth gens would be using the OEM timing ring to cut costs.

Please post and let me know if this is something everyone is interested in.

Thank You
-Nick

That is the VQ35DE crank pulley with the ligthened DMS one next to it.

Can anyone with a 4th gen get pictures of the OEM crank pulley?

Thanks

Thanks, looks like when we make hte pulley we need to make it with the ability to have a timing ring installed or removed to fit VQ30 and VQ35 equipped cars.

The stock timing ring looks to be a permanent part of the stock pulley. If it can be removed I don't see how it could be reused, it has no bolt holes it appears to be somehow 'pressed' into place.

The ring is attached on that OEM crank pulley and can NOT be removed. When I machine a pulley I would design it with 4 bolt holes so that I could attach a timing ring on.

Can we get BLACK?

If so, I'm in.

Also, the VQ30(95-01) and the VQ35 use the same pulley, however the VQ35 doesn't use the timing ring.

You are correct.



As for anodized colors I will most likely only anodize it in black so those of you with warranty can get away with it.

If members want other colors that will only run the price up.

Exactly!!!

That's why it sucks when you have a NEON green/blue/red pulley and no black.

Dealers changing your oil will notice it in a heartbeat.

At least with the UR black, you can black out the white writing.

I was simply letting others know what I had heard. I think it is mentioned in the Stillen catalog as well.

And yes, I removed it.


Thanks.

Sounds cool...I think color options would be nice. Even if it's limited like black and silver or possibly also red, and blue.

You are right, that would actually be cool. I will leave some with a natural silver finish and you can anodize them any color you want.

Depending on the surface finish, its about the same. Anodized aluminum having a slight bit more grip.

I am interested. My one concern is that the lightened pulley would make more noise than the stock pulley. Otherwise, I am in for sure!

hey, i remember when i tried to start a groupdeal with you nick on the stock sized lightened crank pulley. for some reason, nobody was interested at the time. but you know me. it's been a while since i've contact you, but i would be in for a black one with the brass bushing that you use. let me know about when, payment, etc, etc. thanks again nick!

n1cK!

Where we at with this? I got a used UDP *cheap* to *try* just for grins----too much stereo for me to keep. I need stock size ASAP, but don't wanna give up the extra couple a horses.

Is this dead or just on hold?

I will be more than happy to be a "guinea pig" or "test mule" for you----I'm dying here with that stock pulley. :-D

Not sure if I'm missing something but I just checked both the Southwest and UR sites and did not find a lightened OEM pulley offered, only the UD. Maybe this shouldn't be dead yet unless someone else can confirm info in the previous replys. Just a thought.

Check the UR website. I found they offer 2 pulleys, my guess is one of them is OEM size and one is underdriven

the part number for the oem sized pulley is 121011002. it is called the Ultra Sc. the other one is the Ultra S. oh well. i would of rather have bought it off of nick (definitive motorsports) to support the smaller company, and it was going to be cheaper!
