does this pulley require the oil pump drive/spacer for a DE, also? Crank Pulley 2.0L DOHC 16v

No, the unorthodox pulley is made for the DE.

ok, if u don't mind answering, what's the difference between the aforementioned crank pulley and the $135 crank pulley Aluminum Crank Pulley, 2.0 on the first page?

sorry, i answered incorrectly the first time. I thought the first one was the Gspec pulley. The Unorthodox pulley is made for the DEs and does not require the spacer. It also will not work on a VE without the DE spacer.

GSpec Crank Pulley = VE spacer on any motor
Unorthodox Crank Pulley = DE spacer on any motor

Also don't forget that spacer is only like $6 or $7 i think

Initial impressions having the g-spec VE crank pulley with spacer on my all-motor DE - starts up faster, fairly easy install, it's just a shame you have to get new belts that are like $16 each, that really ups the cost. I *may* have noticed a slight increase in power but only above like 6500 rpms. But it looks nice.

And....it will never separate into two pieces of crap. One of which may roll down the highway behind your vehicle.

I've got all three UR pullies, water pump, crank, and alternator. Definitely made a difference on my DE. However, in the future I will not be using the alternator pulley on a street vehicle. Give me all my amperage and voltage (juice, whatever) on a street ride, thank you.

Finally, call me crazy, but I would only trust UR or Greg V. Those other brands I just would not feel comfortable with.

i *JUST* threw that outer ring from the stock crank pulley away last night. It sat on the passenger floor of the car since the day it happened, because I guess I wanted to confirm it really did happen. Also, when I called the Nissan dealer to order another crank seal, the guy told me he's never heard of that happening in a car ever and that if it really did I must have tampered with it.

My crank pulley is about two trips to work away from doing the same ^^^

X2!!! I have Greg's Gspec pulleys and am absolutely satisfied!!!

I may be putting my foot in my mouth but I wouldn't put it past Greg to make them red for you for an added fee. It never hurts to ask, Greg is the man like that!!!
