hello

im having a problem with my r32 gtr

ive got the crank pulley bolt undone, but now i cant actually get the pulley to come off.

ive been trying to use a 3 jaw gear puller to remove it, but its not working.

can anyone help me with a solution for how to get this thing off.

thanks

go to supercheap or wherever they sell car parts and get a harmonic balancer puller. on my car i ive got 2 holes to fit 10mm bolts, im not sure if its the same with the 32gtr.

if its the same, get 2 high tensile 10mm bolts and put some washers on them so they dont fall through. tighten the 10mm bolts onto your balancer through the balancer puller, then start to tighten the balancer puller bolt.

it should come off pretty easily.

Mine had chattered itself on.....took a hydraulic jobbie to get it off.....had to remove radiator, intercooler, oil cooler and front bar to get it off. Im pretty sure the factory holes are an M6 thread (read way too f*cken small)

the lower timing belt gear wasnt that bad. i used a long screw driver and levered it off evenly (making sure it lined up with the half moon thingos).

the only reason i did that was because my oil pump was screwed, i didnt really care about damaging it. i didnt put much pressure on it but there is still a chance of damaging it doing it that way.

thanks for your help!

at the moment i have some parts removed so i can get access to the pulley, eg air cond, radiator, so it wouldnt be that much effort to take the cooler and front bar off now.

there are two bolt holes on the front of the pulley, but someone else has tried to get this pulley off i guess, and now those holes have bolts in them, but the heads of the bolts are broken off, so i cant take them out anyway.

i am begining to think that maybe a hydraulic puller is needed, because it seems this pulley has welded itself to the crank!

also ive been told there is come spray called kroli that may be able to help loosen it, then heat the pulley up, then use the puller to remove it. im not so sure about heating it up, because i dont wanna damage the timing belt.

please keep posting any ideas you have on this matter, it is very helpful for me!!!!

thankyou!

thats the exact reason why you need high tensile bolts.

im sure you can use that tool that gets stripped bolt heads off (i cant remember the name, ive gone completely blank). its the tool where you drill right in the middle of the thread then tap this little piece that looks like a drill bit, then unscrew as normal.

saves you from pulling your front bar off i'd think.

I have had high tensile M6 bolts snapped off before...try and drill those suckers out...don't think so....a two jaw hydraulic puller is your only option

We had the same problem in my brother rb20 r31 he used to have.

Solution was to call a mobile mechanic. He came around, bent the shit out of his puller and charged $50 for his time. For the time and effort involved it was the best way to do it. Saved a lot more frustration.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
