3rd Fidanza for sale deal. 4th/5th 3.0 VQs!

Add: These of course fit the VQ30 Infiniti I30s!
I'm getting in 5 units in about a week. I have 2-3 semi-saved for those that didn't have a chance to get them the last 2 times. So chime in asap if you want one. These actually go fairly fast.
Price: $325 + shipping. Shipping can be $20 and up depending on how fast you need them.

I will have more in later. But don't know the exact delivery yet.

These are a pain to wait for! Also check my profile for past buyer remarks about my reputation here.

You got it and I understand. When they come in, I'll let you know and I'll see what shipping via a faster method will be. Shouldn't be much more.

Edit: Did some quick caclulations:
Via usps Priority 2-3 day. It's $355.00 shipped.
Via Fed-Ex 3 day service $365.00 shipped
Fed-Ex 2 day service: $370.00 shipped
Fed-Ex next day service: $395.00 shipped! (3:00pm next day)

Hopefully, they come in next week and you will have 3 days to spare!

I want one

Hey Jeff,

I want one and I can pay as soon as you get one in. I sent you a pm about this earlier this week. Did you receive that? Please save one for me and let me know when you get it in. I have my mechanic waiting on my clutch and flywheel so he can install.

Thanks,
Man

Re: I want one

You got it. You can use the above prices for reference for different delivery costs also. It's probably close enough. I got your pm too.

oh...yeah, Circo is in our local car club. He just sold his max for a X5. He told me he had a flywheel, but I didn't know he got it from you. How and when do you want payment?

I don't want to get everyone started before I have them in. Protects me and you if something unforseen happens. I'll let everyone know the day they come in. Payment via paypal(I eat the fee) will be required once they come in. Just be ready to go.

Good news! According to the ups tracking information, I "should" get them on the 17th! That's this Thursday! If I'm not too busy at work, I can probably get some of them out that day! I'll probably start accepting PayPal maybe Wed the 16th, so I can make make labels etc...
If you are just waiting to pay, the paypal is Jeff_Iwata@yahoo.com Look up this post for the pricing chart. It's pretty accurate for any continental usa address. Hawaii is a little different I believe I quoted that already. If you use paypal:
1) Say who you are! Important!
2) State what you are buying!
3) Even though I should know from the price, state the shipping method you paid for!
4) And most of all, give me your shipping address!

Let's get this on! hehe

lighter flywheel vs clamping force of clutch

When you lighten the flywheel like this, does it pay to have a clutch with more clamping force (ie Exedy Stage I) or should we look at OEM or an even lighter clutch?
Maybe with the stronger clamping force, it robs the inertia that much faster, changing the driving characteristics of the car...

any thoughts?

Re: lighter flywheel vs clamping force of clutch

The Fidanza is not that light to make that a concern. "Maybe" if you ran the unorthodox unit. Still the clutch selection should depend on what mods you have now, in the future and how you drive. I drive Mtrai's car w/ the fidanza and Exedy clutch. Drivability was fine. I drove so easy, I couldn't even tell it had a light flywheel(But it did rev like a ****). All I can say is if you go stock clutch. DO NOT USE THE NISSAN KEY VALUE KIT. It's crap. Specificly ask for Nissan oem parts and order them seperate. If it comes together in a box, don't get it. Argue with the parts guy if you have to. Some have been happy with the Exedy unit also

Hey Jeff,

I just received my flywheel today. Thanks for the quick shipping. I can't wait to have it installed. I am still waiting for maxtunning's exedy clutch deal to end..... Hopefully I'll have it soon. Once again, thanks for you great customer service and speedy delivery.

Holy crap that was fast! I thought Tuesday at the earliest. Yeah, the rest of the .org needs to support that exedy group deal and buy in. Do me a favor and hit up my trader rating when you get a chance.
