I know that the 3.5 altima UR pulley is the one that is used on the 04 maxima and have heard that the altima pulley is the same as the 02 max pulley so will this work on the 04 maxima??

 

Well. Guess what came in the mail today? Thats right. One Aluminum under drive crank pulley from Motorstorm. I mus say that the quality is exceptional. Nice removable timing ring that the 3.5 guys can remove so that they can use the same pulley. For us 3.0 guys, the allen screws holding the timing ring are thread locked in, so theres no concern of them backing out. The bronz backing ring is also very nicely done. I'm going to get belts tomorrow, and see if I can locate a delaer who can get me a front seal, and then its install time. I will let everyone know how the gains feel. FYI, I am 5-speed, and I'm not sure of the differences between 5-speed and auto. As for Motostorm themselves. My money was received last Wednesday 12/24/03, I don't blame them in the least for not shipping it Christmas day. I even consider it above and beyond that they got it out the day after Christmas. It shipped that Friday 12/26/03 and got here today Monday 12/29/03. I am very impressed. Props to Motorstorm. Thank you Tyler for bringing this to us. Here's your free bump.

Let us know how difficult the install is too.....

 

I sure will. I'm 5 speed, so it will probably be fairly easy. Just need to get that crank seal.

 

This pulley does fit the 3.5 Altima

Right now I am going to extend a special offer to the first 2004 buyer of this pulley. Here is the deal. You pay the full $100 up front to order the item. Once you recieve the item and prove with photos of the install and final product that it fits, you will recieve $50 refund and you keep the item.

This offer is only for the first person, and only apply's to a documented fitment case. Contact me via email at SwimmerTy@aol.com if you are interested.

 

let me know please...

 

Do these have a steal timing ring, so we don't get the Crankshaft Pulley Position Sensor code?

 

The timing ring is there. I will try to post side by side pics today. I happen to have a stock pulley laying around from an old motor. Oh. BTW, Tyler. Do y'all want that stock pulley to make stock sized Lightened pulleys? I'll donate!

 

I would like to have one of these IF it was stock size and the same price. No underdrive for me. I'm auto, so really just looking to chop the 4+ pounds off.

 

Sure... We can look into that, email me for the shipping address.

Thx for the help

 

Is a similar model avaliable for the 3rd gen VG?

 

My real concern isn't if the ring is there, it's if the ring is going to be detected by the crankshaft position sensor..

 

Currently we only offer the pulley for the applications listed.

 

TylerBorg, Im sending payment today...are these shipping out as we order them or do we have to wait for the end of the deal?? I have a 2001 so i WILL NEED THE TIMING RING. anyway...heres my email, let me know when you have recieved payment and shipped the pulley! rlee26@bellsouth.net

Thanks!!

Matt Lee

 

I'll be sending payment...

 

when the banks re-open...

 

My real concern isn't if the ring is there, it's if the ring is going to be detected by the crankshaft position sensor.. Will it?

 

The ring has ferrous metal tips which trip the crank sensor as they pass by

 

Yep. They sure do. No codes for me after installation this afternoon.

For those of you with some mechanical knowledge, I will say that you can do this install yourself. It took me a total of about 3 hours. An hour and a half of that was attempting to remove the bolt on the stock pulley. The power steering belt tensioner is a bit difficult to get to. There are two brass bolts in the tensioner. One that screws in from the side. This is the one you need to loosen first. Then loosen (by turning clockwise) the bolt that screws in from the bottom. This will drop down the Power steering pump to where the belt will slack up. It is best to drop the pump down as far as it will go. The A/C and alternator belt tensioner is much easier to get too. First loosen the bolt on the idler pulley. Then loosen the tnsioner bracket from the top near the timing chain cover and the front valve cover under the hood. That will slack up that belt. Then you can finish removing the stock pulley. Mine was soo tight I thought Thor had put the damn thing on. A large breaker bar is the way to go.

As for the performance side. It feels as though the power band has been lengthened. First second and the first and middle part of third pull real hard. I won't say it feels like alot of horsepower, just feels like it pulls hard. I love it. Torque steer is increased as well. I definately like. A great buy.

These are some comparrison pics of a stock pulley I had around, and the MotoStorm I got in the mail.

 

 

Kick A$$! I can't wait to get mine installed.

 

how about the hard starts, is it just as quick as if it were stock?

 

TylerBorg - I'm sending you a paypal order for the UPD. Thanks for the deal.

 

Starts maybe take about a tenth of a second longer than normal, but no noticable problems. I also have a small system in the trunk, but I have not noticed any problems. No headlight dimming or anything. Pulley works great. Plus the joy of installation on my own adds to the enjoyment.

 

Glad to hear your happy David... Deal is still on for anybody who wants one!!! :-D

 

that thing is BEAUTIFUL!!! Can anyone do a writeup on the install for newbs like myself? Tyler, i'll do my best for payment tommorow...

 

it voids my warranty?

 

No, aftermarket parts cannot void your warrenty as far as I know... Read the 4th gen FAQ I think its in there....

 

I missed the damn banks today...i guess that means tommorow...

 

do you think on February the price will be the same? lets say i get the pulleys after that what i have to buy and from where?

thanks...

 

The deal might be around it might not.... We have not decided when to stop this

 

ooo very interestin GD>..

 

Count me in for a 95-99 pulley if it's still going on.

 

Deal is still on... Payment can be sent via paypal.com to PHSInvent@aol.com

Hey guys, got the pulley today. I can say the product is well design, the copper ring is tight and well seated, the timing ring also is well fit and tight, cant wait to install and see the result.

One little thing I found though, there is a bit of stickyness and dirt-dust on the pulley, but I'm shure it's will go easily with a solvent, there is also some very light scratch, like if it was sand a little after the polishing. With a light polishing it will be perfect, to my taste, it's not something that would make me want to return the product or something but I though it would be informative to give my impressions, based on the visual inspection I made, on the unit I receive.

Overall I'm quite satisfied, I didn't had to spend 200$
for the pulley and it was a pleasure dealing with Brett so that's fair enough for me.

Cheers

Can anyone give me a link for an online place to buy the A/C belt and others.

Cheers

AA

 

I picked up both my belts at Autozone. On their online page, you can cross reference the belts.

 

just curious as to how it starts for you guys that have bought one..... I had the RVM pulley and though i didn't have the oil leak, it did burn out my starter, which is another $300 i don't want to spend.
