Lighter Flywheel reduces turbo lag.

Heavier flywheel will increase lag.

Simply

Increasing the recipricating mass at the crank = slower engine response time and accelleration, but will increase decelleration time. (Heavier objects in motion take longer to stop)

took like 6 hours to mine in my 180sx as the bolts were bitches to get out.

Workshops can;t help it if a car has bolts that are overly tight or bent or burred and if it takes 6 hours it takes 6 hours, they need to charge for that 6 hours as their spending time on one job that stops them from working on another. There has to be more to the story than you saying.

Usually the only contributing factor towards taking too long on a clutch install has been friggin dicky exhausts. Some aftermarket manufacturers don't compensate for this kind of thing when they make their systems up. Other than that, over tight bolts?.....tell your mech to get a better impact gun or go to the gym to work on those girly arms. You can only tighten a bolt so far, and even a almost breaking point...a 1 meter breaker bar usually does the trick. RB, SR or CA gearbox should not take any longer than 45 mins to remove.....no excuses. 1 hour if you are doing it on stands.

just wanted to say i went to a well known workshop the other day to get a new clutch fitted and they charged me $1000 in labour!! I supplied the clutch, it was a straight in and out job.. y on earth it took 11+ hours is beyond me? also i had to fork out for a new gear boot that was fine 2 days before hand as i had it off doing some work..

I wont flame here.. pm me if you want to know

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
