So today i went to the shop because my car was leaking a little bit of oil (well actually a decent amount). so they took it apart and i had a cracked Crank pulley and a leaking front main seal. WOW my pulley was cracked... so i took it down the street and nissan is going to warranty the car knowing i have turbo.. and all i showed them was the cracked pulley. I LOVE YOU NISSAN. oh and i bought some new HID 8000k headlights. and LED markers, haha

 

you have a z with 200k miles?

 

haha no but the wear i have on my Z with 20k miles is the kinda wear and tear that a Z with 200K would be expected to have (just on the crank pulley) everything else is 100% fine

 

I'd ask for a written statement from the dealership saying that they will replace is as per their warrenty...
I once had the Suby dealership tell me "Oh ya, new tranny, under warrenty" only to pick my car up, and them saying "So that will be 3700$!"...
Dont trust their word...

 

i think the Z's heavy factory 7 pound crank pulley has a tendency to fail prematurely, you are the second one i heard this week.

 

time for some ur pulley. hey, did you get the hid from ebay? is it brighter than factory? why would you rmess with a $1000 factory xenons for $12 cheapo bulb?

 

No i think i overpaid a little bit but the bulbs were 160$. I will post pics tonight when i get my car back from the shop. They installed 1 bulb and left the other side stock... they made the stockers look like they were yellow... and they project WAY more light onto the road. I hate buying stuff off Ebay because its sketchy alot of the time.

 

how much did those 8000k headlights run you?

 

The stock pulley is not meant for FI. So that explains the abnormal wear.

 

Why 7lbs, does it serve as a damper also?

 

WOW talk about a misleading thread title!!
