well

after all my stuffing around and damaged knuckles i cant get the fly wheel off - i am borrowing a firends impact driver air gun, but i still am stuck on locking the fly wheel - can anyone pm some help something visual if possible

thanks in advance

Where are you?

Locking the flywheel? Do you mean to hold the flywheel while you undo the bolts? I use $40 electric rattle gun (Dicksmith, Jaycar, Supercheap) to undo the bolts. If I don't have a rattle gun, I use a large screw driver on the wheel teeth, braced so it doesn't move.

yeah thats what i am doing but keeps slipping - but i have a rattle gun coming this arvo hopefuly works -

i am more worried about doing it up (dont they need to be done up evenly 150nm)? guess that is the main time i need it to be locked - guess ill keep trying to lock it with different ways

When you do them up, put a socket on the crank bolt and brace against the body. Just do them up like a wheel, it's not super important like head work.

Yes the ol socket on the harmonic balance locks it good.

And yes use a torque wrench to do it up properly, its real tight and you know you got it with the torque wrench.

If it comes off it can cut your legs off, so dont fk around.

Ps, i never got a flywheel off without a rattle gun.

I AM WEAK LOL

No no no, its impossible without real good leverage while your jammed under there and can hardly move your arms let alone get a good strong push/pull.

Eiji is just very persistant, and had a very long breaker.

Dont forget to be super clean with the clutch, or it may slip.

Anyway, the hard bit is getting the box back on, that will test your patience. So be careful with the input shaft, its easy to bash it into the clutch plate or springs while trying to get it into position.

Doing the clutch up evenly takes ages too. But worth it.

Good luck, hope it goes smoothly.

YEAH NPC told me to use some thinners or break cleaner on the clutch and or fly wheel surface to be clean as possible and clean the shaft and put very little amount of grease on the shaft..

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
