jeffp Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Call Robello Racing for the part you want. This part is an improvement over the Nismo part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iskone Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I think the ones from Robello are overkill for me. Yeah, it would be nice but I plan to do a V8 swap soon anyway so I don't want to spend the extra money. I'm thinking I might not even need the single groove one.

2126 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 IIRC, the single v-groove balancer is a euro balancer and the accessories (alt. & waterpump pulley) may require a slight realignment of up to 0.125" forward. SFFT! (some food for thought) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z Turbo Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 I have been running the Euro dampner for years without any problems. Alignment is dead nuts. Does require a special bolt and washer to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the Nismo "race damper" and not the euro damper that requires changing the water pump pulley and alternator pulley to maintain belt alignment. The euro damper was just the stock part Nissan used on the early non-smog (no air pump) Z cars that were sold outside the USA. http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=99996-E1060E&Category_Code=s30_nismo_racedamper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest iskone Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 I ordered the euro damper last week so it should be here this week. I was wondering if there are some things I need to be aware of when installing the new damper. What is the best way to go about it? I'm worried about damaging it heres why. I just about got my motor back together so I thought I'd put the cracked one back on, not to use but my distributor is ran off the crank and I need the balcenr on so I can bolt the gear that drives the distributor to the crank. I wanted to do that since when I torque the cam bolt down and the motor spins it would also spin the distributor. I want to set the timing before I torque down the cam bolt so I won't have to set it the hard way. Anyway so I just put the old one on by hand, yes by hand did not need any tools. When it was all the way on it had a ton of freeplay and I coiuld just pull it right off. I'm thining that since I worsened the crack in the balcner when I put it on the crank this was the cause of it being so loose. Thoughts? Advice? Just want to avoid any problems.

Guest iskone Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 another question I got is does hte Euro Damper come with a new crank/balancer key? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 It doesn't come with another key. The balancer should be tight, but you should be able to push it on by hand. I put a super thin layer of anti-seize on the inside of the balancer, and I was able to pull it off by hand last time I took it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHO-Z Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Is the pulley and harmonic balancer a 2 piece unit? I bought a single grove pulley a while back from another Z guy for my supercharger project. I have not taken the dual pulley off of my car to change it our yet. From the looks of what I have there are 2 small holes for screws and the center hole for the crank bolt. There is a round grouve on the back side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iskone Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I just picked up a new key today at the local Nissan parts desk, They even had it in stock! Anti-seize huh. I'll give it a try. I'm thinking the new one will be tighter. No, the pulley and balancer is one piece. I have another peice that fits inside the balancer and has teeth to drive mt dist. If you want you can take a look at my album to see what I'm talking about. http://album.hybridz.org/showgallery.php?cat=500&page=2&perpage=12&ppuser=8740&what=allfields&=&action= Isk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iskone Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 When it comes to troqueing down the bolt that holds on the balancer what has worked? With my setup I've tried locktite over and over but it always comes loose. I've thought maybe I could try anti-seize so I could get a good solid torquing? Isk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I would NOT anti-seize the crank bolt. I put antiseize on the part where it slides onto the crank, not the threads on the bolt. What locktite are you using, red? Red is what you should be using. There is a super gnarly green you can get if this is that much of an issue. Other than that I've NEVER heard of damage from overtorquing this bolt. I'd put it on as tight as you can by hand, or set your impact on RFT and that should do it. I assume you got the larger crank bolt with the Euro damper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iskone Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 OK no anti seize. No I didn't get the larger bolt I didn't think it was a must. Don't tell me I need it! I also don't have an impact wrench. isk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
