Harmonic Balancer

[Andyn]

Hey,

There is a chip in my Harmonic balancer (r32gtst), as per picture, and just wondering if this is a big problem or not.

I called up Nissan and it costs $639!!!! for a new one...

I'm guessing I will need to replace this, and wondering if anyone has bought an aftermarket one that works just as well? If you can let me know the price, and where you got it from it would be appreciated.

Yeah, I had the same thing. At worst, you'll feel a shudder in the motor as it spins faster.

Nissan wanted the same from me, but I called around.

JustJap wanted $220

Unique Auto Sports asked for $100.

I got one of UAS, and it came the next day via courier. Problem solved!

Getting the old one off is a biatch if it's been on there for a while, but if yours is like mine, it got damaged using the harmonic balancer removal tool in the first place. =-/

use the tool that screws into the two 10mm bolt locations, not the one that grabs one of the pulleys.

i'll try get a pic up on how this works while my motor is in pieces.

Thanks for ur replies guys.

I checked with an import mechanic and they said it wasn't an issue. If anything they can machine it down to make it smoother and it should be fine.

If worst comes to worst I can pick a 2nd hand one from the wreckers for $65.
