I'm not sure of the actual pulley itself, but you can tighten the entire pump if needbe. Do this at your own risk, as I'm unsure of the outcome in this particular case.

There's three bolts... 2 of them are a pain in the ass to get to.

1. is behind the crank pulley.. theres a hole in the pulley which will allow you to get the bolt.. so keep cranking the engine until you can get your 14mil socket in there.. just losen it up.. don't take the entire bolt out.

2. Is a the six 0 clock position to the pump... and the bolt screms in towards the north south direction of the car.. Is 12 mil... again it's hard to get to just losen this up.

3. This one is at probably the 5 or 4 o'clocl position.. relative to the pump.. it's a long bolt that head in the east/west direction.. this is the bolt that actually does the tightening/loosening the other two just hold them in place. Tighten the bolt (12mil) to tighten the belt... loosen the bolt to losen..

sounds simple but you'll have to probably remove some of the intake piping to get to it.. and maybe break your arm/wrist in the process.....

well i had my 100k service done today so im guessing they woulda of tightened the entire pump up, meh maybe its just the little wheel pulley thing being abit loose, the engine is 10 years old after all.

anyways just wondering if it would cause any damage.

If it's the actual pulley wobbling and not the entire pump i would say the shaft bearings are worn. This causes excessive stress on the pump and will cause it to wear even faster, the bearings will eventually break and either jam or just fall appart, either result is bad though.....

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
