Simple Question

[Diesel_Blooded]

I have a 93' 240SX S13, ive currently had some probles with my car, one being that the crank pulley came apart while driving , what fun, haha i still have 2 of the 3 stock pulleys attached, but the one i need is gone, my questions is, Do the underdrive pulleys that you can buy on ebay help? should i go stock, or get the upgrade, the pulley imlooking at is 45+ Shipping, the Stock pulley is 301+Tax, what process goes on with swapping this pulley out, its splined so i figure its not pressed, just remove belts, back off the locking nut, and swap them out? well thank for your help i appriciate every letter you guys write

Wait, the harmonic balancer came off? I'm not too familiar with the ebay ones....a stock one is really that much?

Just buy a stock used one, there is no need to spend $300 on a new pulley.

problem is, i dont have money, my moms buying it for me, lame i know haha, also the only nissan specialist or any place i can buy a udes one is like 150 miles away... not really the greatest option, im gonna try my luck with an underdrive billet pulley its only 61.95 haha so ya, any ideas on how to swich it out, or is it a learning experience

Bump!!!

People are parting out cars all the time, just look in the classified section...you can probably pick one up for like $30 shipped.

leave the car in 5th gear
lift the front of the car
remove the belts
break loose the crank bolt with a deep 27mm socket and a breaker bar (don't remove all the way)
break loose the crank pulley with a gear puller
remove crank bolt
remove crank pulley

When reassembling torque the crank bolt to 112 ft-lb.

The ebay lightened ones are slightly smaller than stock and half the weight. But it should be pretty easy to find one in a part out.

Seriously, don't get a remade, off name harmonic balancer. You don't want to mess around with that and cheap out.

Get one in the classified section!! Don't spend 150 on a used one or something crazy like that. Take your time and search all the forums for the part you need. Then thank us later.
