I would say no as well. From what I understand, you can't really run a big stereo either...

You can call it BS, but the way the crank shaft on the Z got messed up was due to an Improper install. Also if you buy knockoffs from Ebay Iv heard that they can cause Balance issues.

So in my opinion DON'T buy them.

Well the install is very important, but so is just about any moving part's installation. If you screw up your lug nut tightening and your wheel falls off, you won't blame the wheel, will you? And of course don't EVER put a knock off on the end of your crank. I had nissan put mine on about 25k ago or more and 4 years ago. No problems.

I have seen two cases of VQ35's being wrecked by UDPs. One was a 350Z and one was a G35. Do a search with my name and UDP, you'll most likely see a couple threads where I posted up of pics of a wrecked G VQ35 from a failed UDP (the keyway on the pulley broke and took the crank with it).
