Does any other aftermarket Nissan crank pulley fit a VH? From the little information I can find the VG and RB engines have a slightly smaller bolt (27mm head) versus our 30mm head.

I'll probably get lectured on the subject since each engine is balanced with the original pulley but I'm not running factory pistons and my stock pulley is missing some chunks around the rim. The belt configuration really doesn't matter too much either. The only stock belt I'm using is for the water pump.

I'm interested as well, but I'd like some details before I start throwing money down.

ross can do just about anything we want to do assuming that people are willing to front the coin.will the active pulley also work on a non active engine...reason i ask is it would be expensive to make both versions if one can be used on both engine sets.

The active doesnt have an additional belt, its run off the PS/water pump, it just has a wider belt.

Wes is right, but I could have sworn the active pulley had a seperate belt.

Guess I'm getting forgetful in my old age. (<-- me correcting myself)

Regardless, adding a 3 inch cog belt drive would work for me as well though.
