What ever you do do not use any liquids or sprays on it. It is almost certainly fine to use, that rust will come off in the first take off, if you look at brake discs after 2 days of rain and no driving they look similar.

I cant imagine it was for shear, they would just change the bolts, plus it would add absolutely nothing. Im just wondering if theres another use, being as the bolts basically align it.

confused

I cant see anyother reason why something would be doweled, other then to align and reduce shear loading. Bolts arent really meant to align or take significant side loading, they are pretty well only meant to be used in a tensile stressed manner and in some circumstances compressed.

What do you mean by they would just change the bolts?

Shear forces are taken by the surface to surface friction of the flywheel against the flange on the crank. That friction is created by the normal force, which is provided by the bolts pulling into tension. Stronger bolts = more torque capacity = more tension = more normal force = more friction = more tangential load capacity. Unless of course you are limited by the strength of the threads in the holes in the crank, which no-one ever seems to think about when just randomly upgrading bolts.

oh so it can go on anyway i thought it might have to on a certain way. will the dowel on the rb25det crank come out or will i have to grind it off just obvisouly the rb30 flywheel not going to fit iff a dowel is there

I think you mean an alternating bolt PCD? As in not evenly spaced?

Alot of flywheels are like this, idea being to keep the flywheel in the same position on the crank as when it was balanced from factory. Just keep turning the flywheel on the crank until it looks like it roughly lines up, fit the bolts say 5-6 turns in, if they all go in easy, you're set, if 2 or three are tight or don't start/line up, turn it to the next spot the holes line up.

Does that help?

Similar to wheel studs/nuts don't take the torque of the driven hub, the friction generated between the hub and wheel drive it?

Hey I know this is an old thread but couldn't find any others relating to this topic I'm currently building a vl drift car has stock non turbo rb30 have a rb20 gearbox for it was just wondering if I'll need to get a rb20 flywheel and clutch or am I able to still run a rb30 flywheel and clutch cheers heaps

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
