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.

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
