[1gtsky]

hey just a few questions relating to my series 1 33,, its pretty much stock, but my clutch is slippin quite bad n ive orded a heavy duty clutch kit for it, neways i went around to my mechanic this afternoon n he queried me about the flywheel n asked me wat the standard flywheel is, n if i had bought a new 1 or not. if im changing the clutch do i need a new flywheel ?? or are you able 2 just put a new clutch in with out doing anything 2 it?? or is the stock flywheel able 2 be machined if so how much am i looking at ? any help would be appreciated cheers..

You can buy the whole "Clutch Kit" which should come with a flywheel.

For example I had a HKS twin plate and I replaced it with the standard Nissan R32 GTR clutch, no way it will fit the HKS flywheel and had to order a Nissan R32 GTR flywheel.

All got different fittings, designs but if your new clutch does fit the flywheel, you most probley have to Machine the flywheel, if not replace.

Your mechanic should be able to check your whole gearbox system out and be able to tell you what needs replacing, what - not.

A "clutch kit" won't always come with a flywheel, I think in general they don't. I found my lightened flywheel the biggest waste of money I've spent on my car so far. And sold it to go back to stock. If you drive it in traffic, it's not as nice to drive. If you're driving on a track, it'll make shifts a little bit jerkier (not good). IMO I think it's only good for drag, can't see any other use. Suggest you stick with stock

depending on how bad its been slipping, and how long you've been driving it like that for, a light machine of your current stock flywheel should be fine. Machining a flywheel is bugger all (ie if they want more than $100 they are assholes) but regardless how bad the clutch was i would get it done since everything is out.

The better the mating faces of the clutch are, the better the new clutch will work.
