my friend that used to work at Ultimate Z has a shop i think called ConceptZ now. Anyways, he wanted me to see if there was any of you intersted in a group deal for Fidanza flywheels. $390 shipped. Application should be for 95-01 Maxima. Ill try and get more details like minimun amount of buyers and how/where to order soon.

 

I am interested. $390 shipped is pretty good. One question would you loose top end w/ a flywheel?
Thanks

 

390 is freakin cheap.

 

yep, i want another one Cheston? spare maybe?

 

I am interested.

 

No. I don't have personal experience on this, but this is what I've been told by people who install these.

The stock HEAVY flywheel has lots of inertia when spinning, which is GREAT for drag racing because the momentum of the mass carries you into the next gear. Your RPMs don't drop.

A lightened flywheel has less inertia thus the engine REVs very quickly, which is BEST for autoX and roadcourse racing. However, for drag racing the RPMs drop fast between gear changes and you lose momentum for the next gear.

I'm not a drag racer, so I think for around town and "sport" driving the flywheel would be a nice mod for me. However, it's going to have to wait until I need to have the clutch replaced.

 

ok i got a bit more info on this.

min amount of buyers is 5. that shouldnt be too hard to reach. (i think)
$390 shipped. (possible $380 shipped, not confirmed yet)

those people that said "intersted" does that mean you want it? or juss thinking about it? he'll be setting up an online buy thing soon so ill post the link once he gives it to me. Meanwhile if anyone is interested please post.

 

Can I use this flywheel with my Unorthodox flywheel to make the whole thing lighter?

 

Suuuuuuuure.

BTW, how much did you UR flywheel weigh? Custommaxima.com says 5 lbs. for the 5th gen, while the 4th gen is 11 lbs., WTH? It must be wrong, because there is no why that flywheel only weighs 5 lbs., at least from the looks of it.

 

I didn't get a chance to weigh it, but I think it's between 5 and 11 lbs. The stock flywheel is HEAVY.

Everything combined (UR flywheel, signal plate, and gear thingy) weighted about the same as the stock flywheel (minus signal plate and ring gear... or whatever you call it).

 

 

maybe you should PM him or post a thread in General. i dont think he checks this forum or thread that much. Anyways, ill have more info posted in a day or 2. hopefully people will get more interested in this.....

 

He already got the message and PM'd me. You just have to use his name and some kind of 6th sense alert system lets him know. Hehe.

Sorry to use your thread, but I figured a bump wouldn't hurt ya.

 

he did

 

what would be your first choice

 

lol, yeah i saw that article.

 

this work for 3rd gens? what's the actual weight?
