Ok TY got and idea about clutch setups the other day. He was basically looking at 280zx Turbo clutch and flywheel setups for a firmer clutch setup for his Turbo.
In it he mentioned that the 91 and up hardbody pickup had a 240mm clutch versus the 225 mm clutch of the 240sx KA24e and DE.
Well this got me thinking seeing as I am doing a auto to 5 speed swap right now and I am going Turbo later.
So I went to the yards and got a Truck flywheel . It is the same size as ours and the same thickness. the only thing different was it did not have the centering guide pin hole.
this is not a real problem just have the machine shop drill it when they surface it.
Next step I took was to take the Flywheel to Top End Performance to have them surface it , lighten it and balance it.
Ok this is starting to get cool . Its going to be done next week and it will come back wieghing in at 14lbs. cost $150
hmmm much cheaper than a Fidanza
Next was the clutch. I researched this a bit .
I found a company called LUK they are the worlds largest Automotive OE and aftermarket clutch manufacture (they are european)
They have a heavy duty line called Goldline.
They do have a clutch kit in this line for the truck.
Ok this clutch has 1,400 pounds of clamping force and 500 ft lbs of torque holding. HMMMMMM almost twice as much clutch as an ACT stage two. cost $150 pressure plate , driven disc and throwout bearing.
so Next week I am putting this setup in my car. I will be ready for my Turbo setup clutch and flywheel wise .

peaceout
