ATI Damper - 6.78in - Alum - 6/4 Grv - Nissan V6 350Z VQ35 - Street - 2 Ring

This ATI 918588 crankshaft damper is a well-built component designed for Nissan VQ35 engines, commonly found in the 350Z. It's a street-series damper featuring a 2-ring design, which helps manage torsional vibrations from the crankshaft. This is important because excessive vibration can lead to premature wear on other engine components.

Constructed from aluminum, this damper is lighter than a stock cast-iron unit, which can offer a slight advantage in reducing rotational mass. The 6/4 groove designation refers to the number of accessory drive belt grooves on the damper, with 6 on the outer ring and 4 on the inner. This specific damper is intended for street applications, balancing performance with durability for everyday driving.

When installing a new crankshaft damper, it's always a good idea to check the condition of your crankshaft keyway and the bolt securing the damper. Ensure you have the correct tools to properly seat and torque the new damper according to manufacturer specifications.
