Stephan,
If I recall, the pulley on the 2000 is built similar to an American engine's
harmonic balancer. The outer section with the pulley groove is bonded to
the hub with an elastomer of some kind (rubber). On American cars, the
pulley is usually bolted on, but on the Datsun it is the outer section. On
American performance cars, it is not too uncommon for the outer section to
"walk" around the inner section. This could be accelerated by the fact that
the fan pulley is dragging on that section.
I could be mistaken, but that is my take.
