Hey guys,
I own a R34 GTR, recently my power steering belt snapped so i took it back to my dealer because it was still under warranty. They told me that the aftermarket pulley that was on my car was made for a R32, thus the reason why the belt came off. Okay true, i understand that bit.
After a few days, i headed down to the dealers mechanic to pick up the car, from what i can see the pulley was replaced but strangely enough i noticed that the balancer was also replaced. I was running an after market one from what i could see when i first picked up the car. (They told me they didn't change it, and only replaced the pulley and the alternator pulley but the aftermarket alternator pulley is still there)
Anyways, driving the car back it felt very different, it was no as responsive as it was before, it just didn't have that little edge it once had. (Noting that the car was tuned, Power FC, cams, and full exhaust)
I was just wondering by changing the pulleys back to standard would it make that much of a difference that i can feel a change in power delivery? Or was my assumption of them changing the balancer as well contributed to the change of responsiveness i now have in my car?
I am pretty upset about this as I have no proof to say they did and I did trust them enough to leave my car to them.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
