sr flywheel and clutch Q's

[ae86andrewcrew]

hey do u guys think the 105-112 ft lbs of torque for the 8 flywheel bolts are necessary because my friend with an MKiii supra told me he only torqued his to about 80 and he's had no problems.....and when i try to torque it the specs, its pretty hard. i dont know just curious to see what you guys think. i was also wondering about my SR clutch bolts. are all 9 necessary as well?? because don't ka24's only have 6? just curious cuz i lost 2 bolts and nissan wants 6 bucks per bolt. and if i DO have to replace the bolts, will ka bolts fit? or do i need the SR's. thanks everyone....

Personally, I won't half ass anything when you already got this far. Follow bolt torque specs, maybe minus 5 lb-ft. As for the bolts, I would say why not buy it? It's only <15$, think of the long run, especially when you already got it out like that. Not spending <15$, and screwing up something in the thousands is totally not worth it. Good luck

the KA bolts fit, but the parts guy at the nissan dealership said they weren't hardened so we just used 3 basic bolts from an autosupply place. i secons what nissandriver said, don't half ass something in that area, even fixing something cheap in that area is a pain in the ass. and you don't want to worry about it down the road if you start pushing more power.
