What ever you do do not use any liquids or sprays on it. It is almost certainly fine to use, that rust will come off in the first take off, if you look at brake discs after 2 days of rain and no driving they look similar.

I cant imagine it was for shear, they would just change the bolts, plus it would add absolutely nothing. Im just wondering if theres another use, being as the bolts basically align it.

confused

I cant see anyother reason why something would be doweled, other then to align and reduce shear loading. Bolts arent really meant to align or take significant side loading, they are pretty well only meant to be used in a tensile stressed manner and in some circumstances compressed.

What do you mean by they would just change the bolts?

Shear forces are taken by the surface to surface friction of the flywheel against the flange on the crank. That friction is created by the normal force, which is provided by the bolts pulling into tension. Stronger bolts = more torque capacity = more tension = more normal force = more friction = more tangential load capacity. Unless of course you are limited by the strength of the threads in the holes in the crank, which no-one ever seems to think about when just randomly upgrading bolts.

oh so it can go on anyway i thought it might have to on a certain way. will the dowel on the rb25det crank come out or will i have to grind it off just obvisouly the rb30 flywheel not going to fit iff a dowel is there

I think you mean an alternating bolt PCD? As in not evenly spaced?

Alot of flywheels are like this, idea being to keep the flywheel in the same position on the crank as when it was balanced from factory. Just keep turning the flywheel on the crank until it looks like it roughly lines up, fit the bolts say 5-6 turns in, if they all go in easy, you're set, if 2 or three are tight or don't start/line up, turn it to the next spot the holes line up.

Does that help?

Similar to wheel studs/nuts don't take the torque of the driven hub, the friction generated between the hub and wheel drive it?

Hey I know this is an old thread but couldn't find any others relating to this topic I'm currently building a vl drift car has stock non turbo rb30 have a rb20 gearbox for it was just wondering if I'll need to get a rb20 flywheel and clutch or am I able to still run a rb30 flywheel and clutch cheers heaps

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
