Group Buy - Aluminium Flywheels - Expression of Interest

[Guest s13]

OK guys, I can get Super Light weight Aluminium Flywheels made up to suit any car but the catch is to get a good price we need to do 10 of them.

I want one for my RB20DET.

I think that the RB25DET is the same flywheel, can anyone confirm this or does anyone in the ACT have an RB25DET flywheel I can compare to mine?

The price for the flywheels will be $900 (inc gst, ext frieght) a piece and they should weight around 3.6-4kg. The price includes fitting your ringgear and full balancing (usually would cost around $100 if you got an off the shelf flywheel)

Who would be interested in one at this price. Please msg here if you are interested or PM me if that suits better. PLease include which car you want it for.

Cheers

Ok. I can also get another type of Aluminum flywheel that is slightly heavier and should be around 4.5kg. The price on these will be $750 inc gst with ring gear and balancing. I will require that you send me your original flywheel and cluth pressure plate for both of these options.

Bear in mind that these include fitting you original ring gear and balancing which would usually cost you over $100 to get done.

Looking for some feedback on this guys.

can i ask why u need for me to send u my existing flywheel and clutch pressure plate??

[Brody]

don't want to put any1 off, but for these sorts of weights u can find much cheeper and propper branded flywheels

[Guest s13]

Brody,

oh ok. Thanks. I though they were good prices. Where can you get them cheaper?

Thanks

Are you sure they are all aluminium? If they are all aluminium flywheels, the clutch won't bite into the flywheel i.e slipping clutch. A lightened steel flywheel would be a better alternative to this and the standard one and it is cheaper.

James,

No they are not totally aluminum. The cheaper one has a steel insert that can be removed or replaced. The lighter one has a special friction surface metal coating that is super hard wearing and can be recoated if it ever wears out.

A steel flywheel will weight a lot more.

Have a look at this link for a good idea on what a light flywheel does.

Mr Fanny.

The reason I need your flywheel and pressure plate is that your existing ring gear will be used and the presure plate has to be balanced together with the flywheel.

If you are thinking of upgrading the cluth at the same time you can send me the pressure plate only and I'll do a flywheel exchange with you when you get the Aluminium one. Your ring gear must be in good condition for me to do this.

Thanks

Ogura flywheel from http://www.takakaira.com/

Its not pure alu. like yours, though then again, they still weigh 4.8kg, yes abit more, but for $US333 ($AU489.706) its abit cheaper. Not like many of us here are using the parts for record breaking times

RPM Billet Steel Lightened Flywheel – Nissan Skyline R32/33/34 - $395.00 from http://www.horsepowerinabox.com/mall/fw03.asp

just another option/idea thats all

[Guest s13]

Thanks Brody,

I might see if we can do a group buy on these to get them a bit cheaper but either way these look good. Do you know if the quoted weight is with or without ring gear?

How did you order and pay for yours (if you did) and how long did it take to get here and what was frieght and duty cost?

Did you have to pay gst on it?

i got my taka chromemoly 4.5 kg flywheel sitting at home. Chromemoly is alot stronger material than aluminum

[Guest s13]

Hi Inasnt,

Great! Have you weighed it yourself? Is it 4.5kg with or without ring gear?

No doubt that Steel is stronger but Aluminium is lighter which is the reason to use it.

[Guest INASNT]

4.5kg with ring gear

[Guest s13]

Cool. Where did you get yours and how much?

[Guest INASNT]

takakaira for around $680 delivered from japan

[Guest s13]

Is it the Ogura one on thier website?

Is it for rb20DET?

Reason I ask is because they quote 4.2kg on thier website?

[Guest INASNT]

[Guest s13]
