Not Using Dowel Pin When Mounting Flywheel?

Seems fair, seeing as you have no idea what you're talking about.

Same could be said for yourself judging by a few of your last posts here and elsewhere.

Sounds alot like tha garbage talk you hear over on NS.com. The fact that you feel the need to personally attack someone to get your point across does not add strength to your argument.

No references to back your argument by any chance?

MrStabby has it right.

R32Abuser you need to re-think your mechanical force concepts.

Let me ask you this...

Assume the clutch and flywheel assembly is at rest.

Induce a torque (via the motor) onto this assembly so that it will rotate.

Now, suddenly, the flywheel is instantaneously stopped. Newtons first law states that the clutch asm will want to continue to rotate. We all know that it will cease to move a very short time after the flywheel stops rotating due to these two items being attached to one another.

What part of the flywheel/clutch assembly transfers this torque reversal? Would you agree that it is the locators/fasteners which fasten/locate the clutch assembly to the flywheel?

It has to be...there is nothing else attaching these two indivdual parts together.

Now, if the dowels are toleranced tighter than the bolts themselves, what else will transmit this torque reversal?

Also,

Since this assembly is not counter-weighted, and since another member has stated that locating is not important, then why are the dowels there? I agree that in some setups (aftermarket) there is no dowels, but does that automatically make them a good/better design?

Your very own argument shows that you do not know how the fasteners do their jobs. You had best stop now. You are making yourself look stupid.

No references...? So many credible source must agree with your argument though. Right?

You must be correct though...Nissan (and majority of manufacturers) have done, and continue to do it wrong. You dont need dowels on the flywheel. :down:

This is interesting, suggests there is a correct orientation for the flywheel. To which the dowel will assist in getting it right. So as long as you align the dowel holes should be all good, right?

I can't believe the numpty you were arguing with couldn't grasp-

1. Dowel is for locating

2. Bolts press two surfaces together

 

..and this thread made it to page 2 !

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
