Exactly, I had a lightened flywheel in my car, it shit me on the street, when going slow, couldn't go below 2000rpm without the car shuddering/labouring.... im back to a stock flywheel now.

You must have had a dodgy one.

It's a shame because a good one has absolutely NO downsides as far as driving around town is concerned.

Next time try a better brand. I found the Ogura chromemolly units (4.8kg) work mint for RB's. Excellent ballance.

Always sad to hear when someone gets something substandard.

On topic again....

Group buy wise I shall make inquiries now for something that will end in late Jan early Feb?

We will see if we can get a target price just below the $2k mark delivered if that is possible. Its already a bargain I think as it is but, if we can get a few more guys on board we might get it a little keener on the price.

My car has a lightened flywheel - it's nice to drive overall, I wouldn't really fault it, except with the air-con on, in second gear (or higher), braking, the car often stalls. But, the engine feels much, much smoother. It doesn't whinge much at high RPM.

obviously the tailshaft has nothing to do with the drivable nature of the car other than the fact that the carbon units actually eliminate more harmonics, therfore making things much smoother potentially.

I think we should have the 'flywheel' debate on a different thread althogether.

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it, but doesn't the 350z come standard with a carbon fibre driveshaft? The pro's being the lighter weight, and if it snaps in any place it shatters rather than spearing as metal would (read:safer).

It'd be nice if these could some how be modified to fit, although being a genuine nissan item, it would probably work out to be more expensive than the aftermarket.

I have an OS Giken flywheel on my GTR and an Exedy on my S15.My S15 kicks and bucks,its downright horrible,the GTR is as smooth as hell,both cars use twin plates.

I'm in for this group buy.

That explains it. I had an exedy. :ban:

I wasn't going to post this while the topic was still hot but what effect would this have with an auto?

How does the info we have about lighter flywheels translate/compare to autos?

With the auto you are going the opposite in some ways with the torque converter.

I'm noticing lately the weight of my car and will be looking at different wheels - at least for the track if not the street - but have found this discussion interesting.

sounds like you did not bed in the exedy clutch correctly. Fly wheel has got nothing to do with it. Both fly wheels are balanced from the factory. I've driven R32 GTR with exedy twin and mine has OS tripple. Both were not great until bedded.

I am keen on the GB as well.

we will have to start the group buy soon with a long wait period so people can save up the $$$$$$ i guess we will need 15 plus people to get a good saving rev210 was looking at it but i will give them another call and see if we can get that price down

Ok I thought I had better get this thread back to the forefront again as I am put in the position of spending my cash on a rebuild :/ instead of this lovely item for the time being.

I am happy to help someone who would like to take up the 'group buy' batton to introduce them to ACPT.

$2100 delivered is cheap.

As a side note you might be interested in the fact that Carbon fibre shafts are used by pretty much all Pro-Stock drag racers for the basic reason that their 60ft times and overall 1/4 mile times are faster.

PM me if you would like to get a group buy on the go.

Rev210

I'll be down for sure, but.. i beleive a custom one will be needed for me.

as i have thrown a 34gtr box into my 32 gtr, which from what i beleive will be a little shorter than the 32 one. i think from memory its a combo of a 34 and 32gtr shafts put together. but i can find out for sure when needed.

but it sounds good. as more response for circuit work is just what i am after for that little bit more edge

Guest Mashrock
mashrock,

get your measurements together, perhaps email ACPT directly to get their requirements?

no worries i shall give it a go, i will need to go to the shop to get measurements tho as its gettin put in now.

will the group by go through? there seems to be a fair bit of intrest

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
