Jim,
I bought one from the Nissan dealer three years ago. Thought that mine had
gone bad. turned out that my noise was an exhaust rattle. It sounded exactly
like when my balancer when out on my straight six Chevy. Didn't use it until
my timing chain job. Gave my old one away to Greg Nelson for his "R" motor
Stroker project.

Jim,
My suggestion is to find a new one if you can afford it. If not, used would
work but be prepared to possibly experience the same issue again at a later
time. It may last another 6 months, or it may last until we are all worm
food. You just never know. A fellow that works for me had the same thing
happen to a 1995 Mustang. He is the original owner, so it was not abused
prior to his getting it and since he is no mechanic, it was never removed
for a cam upgrade or other such event.
Just my $.02
Sid
