Do i need the Flywheel ?  

Nath

I've asked this question many tiems too.

80% of honest people say "no, just get it machined."

Everyone talks about lightened flywheels, but not really worth it, the factory one was designed quite good.

Talk to Jim Berry... He'll tell you some good honest things.

Get it machined,

The fly wheel is designed at a certain weight for counterbalance in the engine...it will rev better but you will loose torque as the reciprocating mass has declined.

Oh and I only have the HD full organic clutch, I do drive in traffic so any heavier and I think it would be a bitch...

must be installed incorrectly, you're running a lot of power, or some other problem.

twin plates can destroy old gearboxes and drivetrains.. most cars I have seen running high power have got by quite successfully with the correct single plate clutch for their needs.

just a Quick note.. I thought id add this  as im looking possibly for a new clutch soon and have been hovering over this Thread for Weeks like some :)

I rang SAS and they have Quoted $660 for supply of the DCBHD and supply of New flywheel as well $620.44 for the Flywheel . $1280.44  . Is this a reasonable price for this kit ? as im still rather confused here hehe . Do i need the Flywheel ?  

Nath

$600 for a flywheel seems excessive to me. But GTRs maybe require a special flywheel, in which case I take it back :)

Stick with your stock one, machined, unless you need that extra %2 of responsiveness from your car. I would honostly do this closer to the end of the "doing up" thing unless convinced otherwise.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      I left the ceramic coating off this bit, hopefully it just comes off after a few drives.   The gap between the spokes is too tight for anything on a stick, its only marginally bigger than my finger. I have to use a brush to get in there and its a big reason why I thought I'd try the coating.   Absolutely will do. I have EBC Blue Stuff pads to put on the front which will make them a bit dirtier. I'm hoping a pressure wash will just get most off. The shine is different to most, its very thin but seems very well 'attached' so hopefully it lasts.

      Barrels don't need to be shiny clean. But they are certainly nicer when they are not polluted with years of brake dust, and worse the rotting corpses of the last 17 balance weight sticky pads scattered all around.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, type a special character like ^ or | to initiate the equivalent of the "at"ing for thread links. Although, it might not get any easier to manage. Imagine 30 or 40 threads that kinda match what you want, and the one you want is lost after a long list of useless ones. The magic keyword version I proposed would be a manual effort to set up each case. More of a directed effort from the greybeards to facilitate exposure of useful content. I'm not against the auto complete stuff being considered - maybe por que no los dos? (And where I said "triggered automatically" in my OP, I meant "triggered accidentally". Of course I want it to be automatic!!)

      Ah yes, fair enough! I was purely thinking about cleaning the spokes and front of the wheel with the mitt. For the barrel the rag on a stick makes more sense. I've tried cleaning the barrels on mine and gave up in frustration. Between brakes being in the way or spokes being in the way and limited space to constantly move the car front and back it was just too annoying. The barrel being as shiny as the rest of the wheel sounds amazing though. At this point I'm not even sure if they have the same surface finish on mine. But I feel inspired now to find out.
