I'm pulling out my old stock radiator and replacing it and the clutch fan with brand new parts, along with some other front end stuff that's convenient to do while it's out, and I got to thinking... Is it worth buying the Greddy/Trust lightweight pulley kit? It's only 260 bucks https://www.rhdjapan.com/trust-greddy-pulley-kit-bnr32.html and claims to free up some response. But I can't seem to find definitive answers on;
Are they actually worth it
Are they a pain in the ass
Are they underdrive or standard belt size
I'm wondering if anyone can give me their reviews on lightweight pulleys and whether they'd be a nice QOL type upgrade if they're gonna be exposed and ready to swap out regardless or if they're just gonna be in there for looks. And if anyone can tell me whether or not these fit standard belt sizes, I'm seeing that Greddy discontinued their underdrive ones a while back but I'd like to confirm before I spend the money on them

I run them on the race car, but don't have anything back to back to show any difference. I have no reason to believe the "lightweight" does anything, but underdriving the alternator, water pump and power steering pump when using sustained high rpm in track use makes sense to me (you could also achieve this through a different balancer of course.)

Note the Greddy oversize pullies (water pump in particular) requires the standard harmonic balancer to be turned down a little in a lathe to clear the pulley.

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
