R32 Gtr Clutch Flywheel Explosion

[Boosted Zed]

As a warning.

This is what happens when you have a extra heavy duty single plate clutch with a standard flywheel (suspect it to be second hand) and a R32 GTR with big power during launches. Yes, we only warned him last week.

At least the flywheel didn't let go!!

[Boosted Zed]

Yes exactly, if it did it would have written the car off.

Any idea of the make of the clutch?

He's lucky his feet are still attached to his legs.

Reminds me of the maroon R32 with the clutch through the bonnet.

Benm had similar experience, although worse as his flywheel exploded and did far more damage. I remember seeing pics of this R32 anyone have link to pics?

How's that got anything to do with the flywheel? It looks like the clutch plate was the problem. Ether way that is farkn insane

[Boosted Zed]

Yes the clutch exploded only, although the factory cast iron flywheel are dangerous for big hp and big launches, as they may flex or explode. One piece billet Chrome Molly are best if using a single plate or a 7 1/4 inch twin plate, like Tilton. Nismo, Extreme, OS Giken ect also are billet steel. I am pretty sure for 10 second or faster cars ANDRA require a billet flywheel as well as a 6mm scatter plate around the bell housing.

In my race car I have a custom Chrome Molly Nitrided flywheel to suit the 16mm bell housing adapter and a Tilton 7 1/4 Rally clutch, btw clutch and flywheel combined only weighs just over 9kg. I also run a anti heat anti scatter ex Nascar blanket, over the tunnel inside the car.

Pretty handy way to get a gearbox out of car.

Nice flywheel

Anyone with links on where to buy a anti heat anti scatter ex Nascar blanket? That should stop the massive heat that I get from my autobox
