ap72 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 My crank pulley is badly cracked and I need a replacement, is there a good place to get a used one or a cheaper alternative to the $250+ new ones that I see? I'm kind of desperate to get one in the next week or so but I cant afford to pay through the nose. Are their pulleys from other viehicles that can work? The local salvage yard has no 280z's or 280zx's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossman Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Upload a picture of the one you have in the parts wanted section. They all had the same interface to the crank but the hub and pulleys varied from year to year depending on accessories. I have a couple that I'll let go for cheap.

I don't have a pic, I thought the groove spacing was the same though? If the diameter is bigger that's fine I just need something to get me going. I have a 2 vbelt design ('78 280z with AC) but I heard the 3 belt will work and just leave an empty groove (who knows I may upgrade to power steering one day). If I can bolt it on my crank and hang the belts from it I'll take it. I really just need to get this thing going before December 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ap72 Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 I got a used pullet in the mail but the AC belt will not fit on it, the groove is too narrow. The pulley I have is from a 78 280z, I was not able to take a picture of it this morning but is there anyone that would have a pulley to fit this exact application? Th eone I recieved does fit on the crank snout but the radii are much smaller and the grooves are narrower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I have a 2 row that came off of a 280z that had AC. Cleaned up and freshly painted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ap72 Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 That looks like what I'm looking for! Do you have a side shot of the pulley so I can compare the grooves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) I thought I did, but I can certainly take a few. Edited December 12, 2011 by lowrider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ap72 Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 This is what I have, it appears that the one you have is identical? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) Your pulley looks exactly identical to the one I have. Edited December 13, 2011 by lowrider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
