Hi guys I'm looking at getting a lighten flywheel for my s15 ADM could you guys recommend me some good choices and how much they are ?, would i be able to get them locally or do i have to order it from overseas?, should I also be looking at getting anything else to support the lighten flywheel ?. A mate of mine said that I should look at getting light weight pulleys and harmonic balancer as well. I just want to be able to rev faster as I'm currently still using the stock flywheel and it just way too slow and heavy for me. I'm currently running a exedy hd clutch. 
How light would you guys recommend ? I don't want to go too light and have to worry about stuff breaking ect.

Any hints and tips would be greatly appreciated. 
Cheers.

You could try the SAU traders to see if any of them sell them, or just google.

You dont need to change anything else when you get one.

Lightweight pulleys? A wank unless you're trying to get the last 10 10ths in a race situation

Lightweight harmonic balancer? Not sure if that's even a thing. The weight along with the stiffness of the rubber will be tuned to dampen the vibrations most effectively, so it if is a thing there may be the significant downside of not protecting your motor as well.

Slow and heavy? I fear you might expect something from the lightened flywheel it cannot deliver. Also, are you aware of, and willing to accept, the downside of a lighter flywheel? I went for a lightened (5.5kg) one when i got rid of the Giken twin plate monster. If I had a stock flywheel i would have just used that (10kgs FWIW).

Suggest you spend your money elsewhere, as it will probably be a better investment. If you really must have a lightened flywheel get it next time the clutch gets replaced.

he said he wants it to rev faster...

 

 

And you do realise that that does not explicitly mean "increase revs faster"?  With the most simple and obvious interpretation it just means "rotate faster" which means spin to higher rpm.  I chose that interpretation because of the apparent school holiday vibe.

I just got the car and the seller just put in brand new exedy clutch and master cyl as well. 
I had a lighten fly on my dc5r and it revved so much easier and freely I love it.....
But the s15 is just not as responsive.... its really slow trying to rev lol hence why i wanted to get a lighter fly for it.

now for a more serious reply...

your mate is an idiot.

leave it alone, no lightened pulleys, no fly wheels... buy a proper exhaust system, improved your cooling mods, get an aftermarket ecu OR even a Nistune (I can supply), get it tuned.. even with stock injectors, stock afm, stock coils and a new fuel pump with the fuel pressure relief valve removed and 1bar of boost you'll make about 190~210kW depending on motor health and dyno.

I'm sure you'll toast all your homo Honda mates.. even though it "doesn't rev quick".

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
