OK guys, I can get Super Light weight Aluminium Flywheels made up to suit any car but the catch is to get a good price we need to do 10 of them.

I want one for my RB20DET.

I think that the RB25DET is the same flywheel, can anyone confirm this or does anyone in the ACT have an RB25DET flywheel I can compare to mine?

The price for the flywheels will be $900 (inc gst, ext frieght) a piece and they should weight around 3.6-4kg. The price includes fitting your ringgear and full balancing (usually would cost around $100 if you got an off the shelf flywheel)

Who would be interested in one at this price. Please msg here if you are interested or PM me if that suits better. PLease include which car you want it for.

Cheers

Ok. I can also get another type of Aluminum flywheel that is slightly heavier and should be around 4.5kg. The price on these will be $750 inc gst with ring gear and balancing. I will require that you send me your original flywheel and cluth pressure plate for both of these options.

Bear in mind that these include fitting you original ring gear and balancing which would usually cost you over $100 to get done.

James,

No they are not totally aluminum. The cheaper one has a steel insert that can be removed or replaced. The lighter one has a special friction surface metal coating that is super hard wearing and can be recoated if it ever wears out.

A steel flywheel will weight a lot more.

Have a look at this link for a good idea on what a light flywheel does.

Mr Fanny.

The reason I need your flywheel and pressure plate is that your existing ring gear will be used and the presure plate has to be balanced together with the flywheel.

If you are thinking of upgrading the cluth at the same time you can send me the pressure plate only and I'll do a flywheel exchange with you when you get the Aluminium one. Your ring gear must be in good condition for me to do this.

Thanks

Ogura flywheel from http://www.takakaira.com/

Its not pure alu. like yours, though then again, they still weigh 4.8kg, yes abit more, but for $US333 ($AU489.706) its abit cheaper. Not like many of us here are using the parts for record breaking times :)

RPM Billet Steel Lightened Flywheel – Nissan Skyline R32/33/34 - $395.00 from http://www.horsepowerinabox.com/mall/fw03.asp

Thanks Brody,

I might see if we can do a group buy on these to get them a bit cheaper but either way these look good. Do you know if the quoted weight is with or without ring gear?

How did you order and pay for yours (if you did) and how long did it take to get here and what was frieght and duty cost?

Did you have to pay gst on it?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      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

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
