My next upgrade are the pulleys. I see there are quite a few but I need to know horror and great reviews on the pulleys on the market. Also who has the best price on them? Let me know thanks.

AFAIK the 350Z Unorthodox Racing Pulley Kit is the only one out. Don't bother with the full kit as they're still advertising them (falsely I might ad) as coming with "they include the crank pulley, alternator pulley, and water pump pulley", when in fact the 350 has no external water pump pulley. Their "water pump pulley" is just an idler pully.
I can't believe they're still advertising like this, but until someone brings suit for false advertising, they're going to continue on I guess??

Just grab the crank pulley and a new belt.

I see you went ahead and installed everything why? What difference have you felt after you installed? Why just the crank instead of doing the whole kit?

I didn't go ahead and install them all. I bought them believing that there was a water pump pulley involved. The only pulley in the kit that it under driven is the crank pulley. The others are lighter, but who needs a lighter idler pulley, especially when it's being advertised by some vendors as a water pump pulley. At least Unorthodox had the common sense to change it on their website, although their directions still clearly state "water pump pulley"

Thanks Jason for the help. I went and picked them up at courtesy. They are here local and they gave me a 20% off. I should put them on this Saturday. I appreciate all your help.

I ordered the crank pulley and belt from www.performancenissanparts.com . After my good experience with them with the Popcharger, I went ahead and got this from them too. Should be on Jan 2.

Unorthodox pulleys use very little underdriving anyway. I believe they state that underdriving only accounts for 10-15% of their whp gains.

While the water pump pulley mistake is stupid, its still lighter and it looks nicer than stock. It's admirable that Unorthodox changed the wording on their site. You can't expect them to reprint all the instructions and stop sales of the product. I'm sure that the instructions will be updated in a couple months.

So the other two pullies I have are worthless to install? Sounds like that is what I am getting out of this conversation.

Lord, so I paid 300bux for 1 pulley essentially.
