I sent an email to ATI Performance and to Fluidampr inquiring about a balanced crank pulley option for our car. ATIs response was optimistic so I decided to share. Rep me in the face if u like it. I think sending emails to show interest would help speed things up.

ATIs response:
"It is in the works but not in the near future, it will be over the winter before it is released.

Hi i was wondering if you were developing a lightweight and/or underdrive pulley for the Nissan VQ37. Aftermarket pulleys have been a contraversial topic on our forums since the 370z and g37 were first released. Stillen pulleys, as well as other brands, have caused damage to many cars and lots of drivers are in need of a solution. Thank you for any input.
Ben"

Fluidamprs response:
"Hi Ben,
*
Thank you for the email and your interest in Fluidampr products and services.

You do have it correct regarding light weight pulleys. The fact is engines that do not use a damper often lead to failure due to excessive wear on internal components.

Due to the high costs of engineering and manufacturing we do not offer a Fluidampr for the VQ37 application at this time. In order for us to develop a damper for a customer we require a 100 piece minimum order. If we choose to manufacture the damper for our product line and catalog, no minimum order is needed. However, this is done through market research and through contact with our large distributors. At this point we have not had the demand to warrant manufacturing this application.

We do keep all requests on file and if a decision to move forward with this application is made you will be notified.

Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you again, have a great day.
