depends on what u want to use it for really decides what you should use

give you an example...the bresiani (spelling) could not break or come close to the record with a lightened (4.Xkg flywheel) whereas when jim sent him back a stock one, he ran the record and broke it by a fair bit. thats because he couldnt get it off the line and was having trouble holding boost, boost was dropping of between gears etc.

also, jim and dan have seen more warped lightened flywheels than stocko's so that also say somthing for them.

jim recommends that if the car is for out and out track racing, go for a very light flywheel (4.Xkg) thats because u want excellent throttle control mid corner, out of the corner etc, also u dont have the factor of dropping off boost because the revs are always high, also lightens the drivetrain up...drags he says to use a stock weight or slightly thinned stock flywheel, for the reasons like the bresciani example

theres more, but that's all i remember for now

Yes tell all, I didnt realise what a monster you are building Shane, what sort of use are you planning for?

didnt you terry? well now u do ;)

i'm not entirely sure yet, at first i was all for a track spec car, but now i'm leaning towards drag spec because there is actually prize money on offer. basically i'll have to make up my mind before i get the new turbo & suspension setup. for now i've got a set of R34 v-spec turbo's, and i'll do a fair bit of drag and circuit work to help me decide.

Yep makes sense

Hmm I wonder waht the flywheel in that assembly I got weighs? I know the whole thing is 16kg

see you wouldnt have that drama if you had a single plate, because i think u'll find u cant change the flywheel caus its "all in one", if you know what i mean

16kg's, i'd say it's a light one, my guess would be between 4-6kg's?

yeah I reckon 6 or so...cause the cover isnt that heavy...but the carriers and plates look pretty heavy!

Thats all good but because my car wasnt built for straight lines ;)

yeh nice, should suit you down to a tee ;)

that's another thing i remember jim saying what was wrong with the twins, the cover on some of them is very thin and they heat up very quickly and that inturn induces premature clutch slippage, he did mention brands, but i just can't remember

Ahhh I see!

Well the 320atwkw GTR couldnt slip mine so I hope I am ok :huh:

Mine is pressed steel, But I imagine alot ot he alloy ones youe heat up heaps!

Actually the Os website mentions that! Thiers has some sort of ventilations system that not all have

Yeah something like that, and over kill :D

Did you just get a single plate shane? Thats what I have he seemed to think it should hold 800fly wheel hp fairly easy. If you got the same sort of thing it should do yours easy :O

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
