Hello!

I have a Nissan Skyline GTST engine and I want to fix Mazda RX7 manual gearbox.

My problem is that I don't know which flywheel to match them together. I want to know the flywheel model!!!

clutch plate --> pressure plate --> clutch pump --> clutch pedal --> OK

but unsure what type flywheel - please reply if you can help!!!

provided the stock flywheel and pressure plate fits inside the rx7 bell housing i'd be using them with an appropriately sized mazda friction plate to match the splines on the box.

Obviously you'd need to have some sort of bell housing adapter.

I'd have thought it'd be easier (and cheaper) to run the 25 box and go a custom gearbox cross member and tail shaft. My old S4 rx7 box was weak as piss....

Thankyou for your information!

the reason why I am doing this is because in Sri Lanka there are no manual Nissan Skyline gearbox. I'm thinking Mazda RX7 will be a good match for the Skyline GTST engine.

You could just buy one off the forum, and have it shipped over, much less work

+1 to weak as piss

You'd be better off putting in an RB20 gearbox. I've got one round the back you could have. they are also weak as piss so you'll be set.

The flywheel should fit...just, but you will need flywheel and pressure plate from the Skyline and clutch plate from the RX7.

Then the plate diameter is wrong as you would be using a 225mm clutch plate and the skyline is 240mm. You would either need to get a custom clutch made with the RX7 hub using the skyline outer plate or use an R32 GTS non-turbo flywheel and pressure plate with RX7 clutch plate which is 225mm...the same as R32 non turbo.

Either way, it's a stupid idea...don't be stupid!

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Lithium · Posted

      Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.

      I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      By Duncan · Posted

      Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years

      To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)

      Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.
