Flywheel Problem

[sanjeewa]

Hello!

I have a Nissan Skyline GTST engine and I want to fix Mazda RX7 manual gearbox.

My problem is that I don't know which flywheel to match them together. I want to know the flywheel model!!!

clutch plate --> pressure plate --> clutch pump --> clutch pedal --> OK

but unsure what type flywheel - please reply if you can help!!!

You would use an rb flywheel and pressure plate, but why?

must be upgrading a mazda to nissan spec

provided the stock flywheel and pressure plate fits inside the rx7 bell housing i'd be using them with an appropriately sized mazda friction plate to match the splines on the box.

Obviously you'd need to have some sort of bell housing adapter.

I'd have thought it'd be easier (and cheaper) to run the 25 box and go a custom gearbox cross member and tail shaft. My old S4 rx7 box was weak as piss....

Thankyou for your information!

the reason why I am doing this is because in Sri Lanka there are no manual Nissan Skyline gearbox. I'm thinking Mazda RX7 will be a good match for the Skyline GTST engine.

You could just buy one off the forum, and have it shipped over, much less work

+1 to weak as piss

You'd be better off putting in an RB20 gearbox. I've got one round the back you could have. they are also weak as piss so you'll be set.

The flywheel should fit...just, but you will need flywheel and pressure plate from the Skyline and clutch plate from the RX7.

Then the plate diameter is wrong as you would be using a 225mm clutch plate and the skyline is 240mm. You would either need to get a custom clutch made with the RX7 hub using the skyline outer plate or use an R32 GTS non-turbo flywheel and pressure plate with RX7 clutch plate which is 225mm...the same as R32 non turbo.

Either way, it's a stupid idea...don't be stupid!
