i have no idea where to find one, i've also found one in AUS for 300 bucks, just for the harmonic balancer, why such a difference in price?
what way should i go about this?

That isn't a balancer, it's just a fixed pulley. Your bearings and oil pump will hate you if you decide to run that.

Look up the powerbond CA18 under driven balancer if you want a replacement,
here i found it for you;

thank you. i'll be calling them shortly.
also, i noticed you were from aus. on hardtuned.net theres this guy selling a gt3076r with manifold and wastegate. and we're trying to work something out, but i looked up a shipping quote from fedex and it was 800 f*** dollars.
is there anything out there thats cheaper.

Also you could check out the Ross Performance balancers, they make them to suit various applications but they are abit more pricey.

Which model are you using?

What did you pay for?
