So I have an 89 D21 4x4 with the z24 engine. I recently discovered that my crankshaft pulley was wobbly and making a terrible knocking noise. I pulled it off to find the key slot was worn out of shape, as well as the washer and bolt.

I ordered a used replacement pulley that I found on eBay, it clearly states that its for an 89 Nissan 4x4 4-cyl pickup. Auction can be found here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/121114688447

I got the part and it's different than the pulley that I removed from my truck. there's an extra pulley attached to the bunch, and the center slot and shaft is much longer. The two smaller pulleys are identical to the ones mine has, and I tried taking the new one apart to see if I could use the center piece, but it's attached to the large pulley that I don't need. It doesn't fit on as is because the larger pulley contacts my timing guide piece on my engine and the center is far too long.

What pulley did I receive? There weren't any other 4 cylinders in those years besides the z24 right? Is the pulley I received mis-labeled?

In the pics, the one I received is on the left, the one I pulled off my truck on the right. You can also spot the damaged key slot on my pulley in the first pic, that's really the only part I need..

Looks like a 240sx KA pulley.
