So my car decided to spit out my crankshaft pulley the other day. Looks like the bolt undid itself and just spat it out as the bolt has no scarring to it. However it cracked the pulley as it came out and now I need a new one. is there anything else I have to watch out for when i'm replacing it? I'm trying to find a replacement pulley as we speak but spares are very scarce for it. Might have to bite the bullet and get the MSA one. Just want to know if there is anything else I should be checking out for or worried about if it has done this. Going to get the radiator out to do it flush the cooling system while i'm at it and replace the belts, anything else I should change out while i'm there?

 

I have an extra $20 shipped.

 

will it fit my 79? i'm in australia so the postage may cost you a little more

 

Any L6 260z/ 280z damper will fit. The L6 is internally balanced. Unlike most US cars which are externally ballanced, as in the damper and flywheel. Check the end of your crank for damage also. Cheers!

 

Its off a 79 i'll check the extra postage friday if you pm me your address.

 

Also, make sure you have a woodruff key in the crank for the pulley, More than likely, it was missing and that's why the pulley flew off. HIghly unlikely for it to come undone otherwise. And even if it was there, it probably flew off to haha

 

Good point, I found that out the hard way. I put it back together without that tiny key. What a big headache, that small thing can cause. lol I learned my lesson about that.
