the balancer would of become egg shaped before it completely broke away from the inner housing which I think caused the vibration it only lasted a second or 2.

fingers crossed its ok I felt the vibration and backed of instantly then a couple ofr seconds later the alt light came on once the pulley had completely sheared and the alt, ps pump and water pump stopped spinning. the engine just hit 101 c once I got home and turned it off hopefully not done any damage.
out of interest who did the belt swap and did they say what was replaced as I know on audi s2's they recommend changing the damper with the belt.
the pulley wasn't replaced as I didn't ask for it to be replaced, as long as the centre is still tight to the crank which im sure it is then they have not been negligent, it was done by one of the best skyline tuners.
I pondered on having an uprated pulley at the time wish id done it now lol.

your right jay with a egg shaped pulley swinging as the rubber was tearing away will affect the flywheel and cause a vibration.
I restarted the car when I got home and it even starts and idles ok, I also had absolutely no drop in oil pressure to show and signs of change of bearings within the motor.
im gonna get a fluidampr I think as there fit and forget self balancing and power the a/c pump at the correct speed.
