MattP Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Whos running Auxillary Pulleys and where did you get them? I am after a set of Anodised Gold Pulleys and Idler I did want to use the Whifbitz units but I have messaged Paul he says they cant do them which leaves me a bit stuck. I found a picture of a set of the Gold Pulleys I would be looking for that Paul supplied back on Rob Mitchells Gold Rush Project for reference.

MattP Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Rob Mitchell's business is gold plating. I will require anodising as I'm not keen on plated items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Doom Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) What about getting a set powder coated in metallic gold? Or possibly painted? Edited February 2, 2016 by Dr_Doom (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattP Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 What about getting a set powder coated in metallic gold? Or possibly painted? I thought about that but I'm not sure about the powder coat finish leaving sharp edges on pulleys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Nothing ever is for the Supra it's all got a special Tax added I was thinking the best course of action will be to order the PHR ones in machined finish then have them anodised Gold when they get here.

Chris Wilson Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Just buy a different colour and have them re-anodised, if gold is that vital to you. I often get black anodised parts re-anodised in blue or red for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattP Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 i Just bought whifbitz pullys That was the plan originally.. Pretty much everything in my bay is Whifbitz and I preferred the design of the Idler to the SRD units which of course is simply personal preference. My options are now a PHR set or whifbitz and have them anodised Gold when they turn up which im just waiting on Callaway to get back to me on price then il make a final decision.

Have you contacted Rob Mitchell regarding gold plating? He's bloody brilliant. Hmm sounds like you best keep an eye open for some used ones if your planning to refurb them, seems a shame to pay for a new set.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it was is I was after a New Gold set as you say it feels a shame to buy a new set just to have to get them anodised to a different colour but as mentioned I have my orders my brother is very specific when he says he wants Gold he will just have to pay extra... Using Rob would mean posting etc I would rather keep it local. Apparently I have my choice of trader for anodising in my local area for once which is new.

MattP Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) From what I have read these seem to be the best aftermarket pulley set available they claim to be the lightest aftermarket non under driving pulleys you can buy for a 2JZ. The PHR pulleys certainly look the part and many forum members have a set fitted and seem impressed with the quality. The Whifbitz pulleys I have seen In person and look just as good but with slightly less engraving these would be my second choice they are also the cheapest of the three sets. And the SRD pulleys look the same and I would think no different in functionality I'm not sure why they are so much more than the whifbitz pulleys. It would be interesting to weigh the 3 sets and see which is actually lightest...

MattP Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 http://epmanracing.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=92 I looked at these as they are all over Fleabay for £40 but I have never heard of them. Can they be trusted? They also have no Idler to match :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattP Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Do the whifbitz sets work out cheaper then? Yes Whifbitz are £168 for the set of 3 pulleys and £68 for the Idler plus P&P SRD are £199.99 for the set of 3 and £69.99 for the Idler plus P&P And I'm waiting for Callaway to email me back on price for the PHR units.
