So you guys have been my help and deciding factor for purchase so here it goes:
I am stuck and can't decide if I should get my Underdrive crank pulley from Stillen or Unorthodox?
I've searched our forums, nothing. I searched 350z forums and nothing concrete.
Both are around the same price with belts. The Stillen seems to be slightly lighter than Unorthodox.
Unorthodox has good reputation for pulleys but STILLEN has good reputation in aftermarket for Nissan/Infiniti?
Stillen list a lot of details on the crank pulley on their site while Unorthodox is somewhat vague and does not specify belt brand/type
Makes for tough choice

Both are probably the same in terms of quality. It's just a machined part and both companies have a lot of experience with it (UR has been doing it for a little longer). I'd personally get the UR just because I would feel better with it after an crappy experience with a Stillen SC kit on a former car and the issues it had with pulley alignment and shredding belts. This was a decade ago though, so I'm sure they've improved their standards.

LOL Andy I got your verdict from the last post thanks for the input as always!

So there is no worry about the quality of belts from UR's Bando vs Stillen Gates ?

I got Gate when I order mine from the site that I bought from. I'm pretty sure the quality is there in both, just a matter of preference. I have use some generic brand I pickup from Napa and they work just as well too.

This is correct I received the Gate Belts with the Unorthodox pulley I ordered and received today. Hopefully should have it on in week or so.

UR is great.

I have a CNR crank pulley (UR copy) (stock-sized) sitting in my house if you want to buy it for cheap.
