Anyone with a VG30DETT should address the issues described below especially when going past stock performance levels.

Although, my idler pully just went out at 150,000 miles. I was unaware of these issues and now my engine is completely unsalvagable. I just ordered a J-spec engine from Japan. Hopefully, this will save someone else from the same fate.

Always been said that its a must to change them at the 120K maintence. I honestly prefer to spend the extra money and do them at 60K. Hell if money wasn't too tight I'd say do water pump with the new belt as well.
