Question
I'm tryin' to save money on my 5spd swap. I would like to get a lightweight aluminum flywheel but IMO $350 can be spent on more important swap components. The one I picked up at the yard is pretty rusted (and damn heavy). Can I spray it down w/WD-40 or have it machined? I am assuming it shouldn't go in until I remove the rusted flakes covering it. It actually looks a lot like a rotor that's been in the yard to long. I would love to be able to use it.

Blah Blah Blah
BTW, I just ordered an ACT medium duty clutch, ordered a hydraulic line from Nissan, and picked up the cooler lines from the yard. I also pulled the brake pedal assembly. That was a B***H! I had to remove the steering column and the master (brake) cylinder. I had never touched either before and had to figure it out from scratch.

Next on the list is to replace a bent stabilizer bar (possibly straighten), get gear oil, STS from custom maxima's site, find out exactly what needs to be done about the axles, and sand/paint all the rusted components I got.

Thanx for all the help everyone has given me. I couldn't have got this thing started w/out ya.

P.S. The car I pulled the parts off of was a 92 SE w/rear disc brakes. I could get everything needed for a drum to disc brake swap. I'm sure the guy would charge me no more than $50 since the car has a date w/the crusher soon. I think they had some rust but could still be usable. I would pull and ship 'em for $75-$100 (depending on price) if anyone is interested.

 

bump for the functional thread

 

Someone help this guy out, he's a got a sweet looking car with a sweet engine and wants to make it a stick...a lot of you know about swaps, and I'll be asking for your help maybe later this summer...someone get in here and help him!

 

im interested in the rear disc parts email me at harvman45@aol.com

 

I have a stock VE flywheel that I will sell you for $50 plus shipping (or pick it up in Atlanta ). You can get it resurfaced and you'll be set.
When I did my clutch, I used a friend's flywheel to get resurfaced so I didn't have to wait for mine to get done while we were in the middle of the clutch replacement.

 

Thanx guys....

I'll try a few places. I assume transmission and machine shops are the place to go? Well, I'll get to work and get back to ya if I need a hand. Also, Harv... I'll go by the yard today then e-mail ya with some info.
