If you're asking if a crank pulley is a bolt-on piece, it is.

You are the man, Chino.

I'm still running my stock pully even though you-know-who gave me a free one. Ebayed it weeks ago (I'm not a gambling person)... Lost money/time and got NOTHING.

You know, something mentioned on the ScionLife thread that I never thought about: how do aluminum pulleys stand up to extreme temperature variations? Up here in Ottawa, we have anything from -30C to +35C in a typical year (-22F to 95F). I know that cast iron is used for piano frames b/c they don't expand/contract much with temperature. If aluminum expands or contracts a lot, how will that affect the pulley performance, and will it put a lot of stress on the pulley itself...?

Try to find that happening to an NST pulley. I dare you.

They bought their way onto Scionlife and I'll be damned if they do the same here! If they want my respect, they can earn it. NST already has. Have yet to see one person buy an NST product and not be satisfied.
Was this an attack against me or something? If so I wasent saying what I typed sarcasticly, I lurk these forums a bit and have read nothing but good about them.

And I have no idea what your getting to in your 2nd paragraph.

Shijima, it surely wasn't an attack on you, and if it seemed like it was I'm truly sorry. If you'd like me to explain further, feel free to PM me.

Someone is doing their homework. This community is still young, and doesn't know half of the story.

NST has GREAT Customer Service and Quality. We would not deal them unless this was the case.

Here is a bump for you drift fans... see this RETAKS AE86?

NSTae86-4.jpg

Well, its wearing an NST supercharger pulley kit that ups the boost from the wimpy stock 8 PSI to a whopping 17 PSI! That is more than double the POWAAAA. Tack on a 50 shot and you get one punchy drift car.

You'll see her spinning about in there. Look for the car sponsored by the other guys... oh wait, there isn't one! NST'S PRODUCTS ARE TRACK TESTED! If they can hold up on a drift car, you bet your ass they'll hold up on your Yaris!

NST FTW

We need to do a bit of testing with these pieces before releasing them to the public. You guys can expect new NST pulleys sometime in July

I have never seen anything like this ever happening to any NST product. This stuff only further explains the old saying, "you get what you pay for."

NST FTW

I'm an NST man all the way but you also have to wonder how much of that is installer error. Maybe the belts were way too tight or the pulley bolt was over torqued. That just looks nasty.
