Jeff,

I know we have a lot of Maxima drivers here who really liked them on their cars with the same engine as ours and ahve even seen some improvements on the dyno.

One of the more popular brands is UDP.

hahah cool man!

thanks... seems like the headers they didn't estimate what labor would actually be involved to put those headers on... don't really want to spend that much on labor for that little of a performance gain. so just trying to line up where im to go next in the near future

Unorthodox is the way to go.

As far as labor goes... it's A LOT less than headers, I know that much.

looks like they come with nissan belts... does that mean that the belts are the same as the ones as stock?

therfore there are no alterations accept for changing out the pulleys I assume? Correct me if that is wrong

anyone know what kinda power gains (says 13 hp) but advertising and actuall usually offer different results.

I have a UDP installed on my Max. Installation is very straight forward...as long as you have an impact wrench rated for over 250ft/lbs.

You're not exactly increasing horsepower as much as you are decreasing the rotational mass on the crank (by approximately 5lbs on the VQ30).

The belts are not the same as stock, they will be slightly shorter.

As for results, I can't put it any better than this man.

An example is when I come to a near-complete stop, then take off in 2nd, I don't have to press down on the gas pedal nearly as much as I used to. For some reason my shifts are alot firmer than before. The weird thing that I did not expect was the gain during highway driving. It seems as if some of the dead spot(high rps) is gone in 3rd and 4th on the highway. I'm overall satisfied with the pulley and the ease of installation. Thanks again Nick.

Cool

Im pretty sure Im going with Unorthodox Ultra SS Pulleys, Crank, Alternator, and W/P

The crank is the only pully with a different diameter though, the others are just a little bit lighter.

Installation of crank pulley will cost approx. 100$ I believe if you don't do it yourself.

Talked to my dealer before I bought em... looking at 1-2 hrs of labor at approx $75 / hr.

But yeah... I won't touch **** on my car when I can pay a few bucks and have it done by a pro

^^^^^did you put one in your car? did you notice a performance gain?
