You can buy the whole "Clutch Kit" which should come with a flywheel.

For example I had a HKS twin plate and I replaced it with the standard Nissan R32 GTR clutch, no way it will fit the HKS flywheel and had to order a Nissan R32 GTR flywheel.

All got different fittings, designs but if your new clutch does fit the flywheel, you most probley have to Machine the flywheel, if not replace.

Your mechanic should be able to check your whole gearbox system out and be able to tell you what needs replacing, what - not.

A "clutch kit" won't always come with a flywheel, I think in general they don't. I found my lightened flywheel the biggest waste of money I've spent on my car so far. And sold it to go back to stock. If you drive it in traffic, it's not as nice to drive. If you're driving on a track, it'll make shifts a little bit jerkier (not good). IMO I think it's only good for drag, can't see any other use. Suggest you stick with stock :P

depending on how bad its been slipping, and how long you've been driving it like that for, a light machine of your current stock flywheel should be fine. Machining a flywheel is bugger all (ie if they want more than $100 they are assholes) but regardless how bad the clutch was i would get it done since everything is out.

The better the mating faces of the clutch are, the better the new clutch will work.

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
