Gday guys and gals,

has anyone here purchased an Exedy Lightened flywheel? is there just the chromoly one or is there an aluminium one too? does anyone know how much they weigh and price as the website has limited info. shot off an email to them last week but no reply as of yet.

heres the link

stuck whether i should buy an exedy which is local(no waiting) or get a Cusco chromoly one of nengun (14day wait). anyone here running the Cusco unit?

cheers

sulivan whos a trader here selling exedy kits informed me that the flywheel is chromoly steel and weighs a little over 6kg which is what im looking at getting installed in the next few weeks.

exedy customer service is useless. i shot them 3 emails regarding the flywheel and hd cushion button clutch with no reply at all. maybe my questions were too hard to answer...pft

hahahha

yea im just assesing if its worth it... how much it set u back?

im lookin at the sports organic, i mean the fly wheel would be good on teh old r20 wit its poor form down low off boost, but ive herd its not worth the momeny for the verry small increase in performaqnce gains, i dont really drag race,

i am more downhill run old pac style,

cheers

yeah im not expecting much but i figured while im doing the clutch ill do that also. i dont want it too light as id still like to keep some inertia so 6kg is good for me. the shop im going to is getting it trade for me around $600 gst inc. i could be a tight ass order from nengun and save $100bucks but then id have to wait for it. dont mind paying abit more for not waiting and domestic warranty.

They are a solid one-piece forged chrome moly steel and for memory they are about 6.8kg (something around there) very good upgrade if you are looking into track/drag and also for drift.

Im pretty sure that EXEDY only make the one lightened flywheel (no other material) but i can check that out if you like (my brother is an EXEDY dealer) but it wouldn't be until Monday :happy:

(oo\__4Door__/oo) if you are just looking at one of these to help bottom end then i wouldn't bother personally. I take it you have a RB20 from your post correct??? Is it stock or mods (if so what mods) true you will notice a difference with the lightened flywheel but not enough with other upgraded other parts as well. For the money you would be better off installing a set of cam gears to help that bottom end/mid range :(

engine mods are just basic, zorst, fmic, pod wit a box, yea nahh that was i was sayin for the money u can get alot better gains, im goin to get the stocker machined, yea i like the idea of the cams ha ha, it was just wile it was down i thought id investigate, cheers thhough

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
