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

yep, the full monty...5puck carbotics (how ever u spell it) 3600lb pressure plate

it'll definately hold the power ill have now, but it'll be pushed when i get the new turbos :O

my neighbours who have moved in like 2 months ago, one owns a 33gtst, and the other owns a soarer lol full import city in my street now! lol we own the block!

have u meet them bryn?

lol sorry man, i always seem to do that for some reason!

have they got much work done to them?

its cool i know u do it lol

um not really, the skyline has a front mount and a GTR kit with turbo smart 2 stage boost controller and stuff but nothing serious.

soarer im not sure about it

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
