I baught a new water pump for the Ca 18, the new water pump has a smaller "shaft" that fits through the hole of the pully, my problem is bacause of the smaller "shaft" the pulley can not be sentered properly so it is a bit off balance, does anyone have a water pump pulley that fits the after market waterpump?

did you not get the wrong waterpump?
or maybe the pulley from the car its designed for will fit properly.

Yo got the Ca18De water pump so you will need a Ca18de pulley
This will NOT hold the weight of your fan.
The best thing to is go to midas an buy a Ca20E water-pump same as the new era skylines.
This has a thick shaft and will NOT hold the fan

Whats the point if his current fan wont hold the fan and nor will the CA20E??

But you said the thick shaft will NOT hold the fan, or was that a typo??

why would you want a thicker shaft that still cannot hold the fan?
hmmm, i dont have the viscous on, and maybe thats why i have no problems with the water pump.
do you mean that even the thicker shaft water pump will break with the weight of the viscous on it!???!

Yep...
You need the tick shaft for the balance .
To keep yous stock Pulley.
I have had a number of pumps fail. Only oem can hold the fan.
But its cheaper to buy electric fans and a cheap pump

sorry for my sarcastic comment. the database must've gone wonky for a bit there.
your new post was an exact copy of the previous one.
unless you edited yours after i made mine.
oh whatever - apologies anyway!
