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!!!

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!

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.

      Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
