Hello,

So today I was driving and some guy told me to pull over and started talking about my car. He said my revs are too slow coming down after letting go of the accelerator. 

I think its ok but it would be cool if it went down quicker i guess just for sound but anyway.. would that be a flywheel change?

Well theoretically a heavy OEM flywheel will want to stay in motion longer. A lightweight flywheel should change the rpm response but it can also have an effect on idle.

Im assuming this wasnt someone you knew? I think thats an odd thing to have happen personally haha.

nah i was driving and this guy told me to pull over and he was talking about how the do up cars n stuff like that. Because im overseas they use russian words for every car part so i couldnt understand him well.

So if i put in a lighter flywheel would their  be any cons to that for example, break? :P

When I made the change, it required a slight change to the way I walked off the clutch. Button clutch, so it slightly increased the chances of a stall.  So use another couple hundred rpm at the engagement point.

Otherwise it was all positive.  Engine felt more responsive to throttle changes (but not by a huge amount - you get used to it so quickly it becomes the new normal). 

Made a relatively sporty car feel a little more sporty, IMO.

Gauging from the last paragraph of your first post, no you don't need a lighter flywheel. It'll just make it less pleasant for you to drive around the streets.

Exactly! Haha.

I found the idle to be a little more all over the place and honestly the clutch was a lot more touchy. Its great on a race track but not so much on the streets.

That said a lot of people dont mind driving a lightened flywheel

Lightened flywheel is fine but I'd only bother with it if already doing a clutch change etc.

Yes it will make engine speed decrease quicker. It will also make take off proportionally harder / require more revs because of less kinetic energy stored inside it to get the vehicle moving. So I wouldn't recommend it for a daily driver with a button clutch in bumper to bumper traffic. As mentioned before, idle can be less stable too and may not be happy below ~1000rpm, depending how light it is.

This ^^ +1

There's a fair bit of effort to pull the box, and you wouldn't put in a lighter flywheel without correspondingly more serious clutch setup.

And if it's a daily driver in heavy traffic then forget it.  Actually, still do it, but buy an automatic Hyundai for the heavy traffic grind.

i wont be changing it, like i give a F what some random on the street says. I got one of the kick ass cars in this country (Armenia) i'll be working on other things.

Story time:

Last night i went to a car shop where lots of cool cars usually are too see whats up and they saw my skyline and they made a call and another skyline showed up within 60 seconds and they had said they had seen me in the city but people didnt believe him haha so anyway we hung out and all these hotted up cars showed up, yeah was fun. Got some new cool friends, rare to find people that know stuff and are into cars here.

Interesting to hear that sort of camaraderie which I think people take for granted here. Even as imports are getting rarer and rarer, people here still don't even wave at each other as they drive past.

God damn street racers

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
