New Flywheel Bolts.

Hi all,

If I am getting a new Exedy standard replacement clutch kit (NSK-7172) for an R34 GT-R put in and I am getting the flywheel machined, do I need to get new flywheel bolts as well? I was always under the assumption that you only need to get new flywheel bolts if you get a new flywheel?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Which bolts are you talking about? Flywheel to crank or pressure plate to flywheel?

The flywheel to crank bolts are pretty chunky, so there's less chance that some retard has damaged them by torquing them up too much. The pressure plate to flywheel bolts on the other hand.....

Also,

- make sure that the dowels are in place before you re-fit the pressure plate

- use engine oil on the threads of the flywheel to crank bolts (the torque spec assumes you have done this)

- new or machined flywheel is not going to make any difference about re-using the bolts AFAIK

- you should really check the workshop manual to see if the bolts are re-useable... i re-used mine because i didnt even think about whether they should be replaced or not

Yeah im refering to the flywheel to crank bolts. Pretty much all aftermarket clutches (that come with new flywheels) come with new flywheel bolts dont they? This is why I am now interested to know if I will need them too, even if the flywheel gets machined.

Cheers,

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Lucky pick up Best to find these things before something horrible happened to the yoke flange thingies I would hate to think what would happen if it dropped the tailshaft  Hopefully the holes are not flogged out in the yokes and it was just the bolts that got munted  As for the hand brake.....ouch, look like the disc got rather hot, and I assume smokey, I recall when I had a front caliper seize on the Commodore, there was lots of smoke and the disc was glowing cherry red when I was able to eventually stop and have a look, and stopping a big heavy car, going down a big hill with some rather high RPM down shifts and some hand brake action is something that makes you think hard about life

      One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that one side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D

      Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.

      I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.

      Don't assume the AC relay signal from the ECU is +, some models including Stagea use an earth trigger.
