Told you about the peak hour maddness! It's gone mad since the trains are FUBAR!

 

I should hv just go to C & V which is only about 10-15 mins away....

 

OTT:

So we should really just get a light weight "duel mess" flywheel?

My clucth actually got some noises as well when I don't depress my clutch down when idle.. the chattering noise is quite loud and I heard that the nismo one isn't loud at all though...

cheers,

I mentioned the need for a lightweight dual mass flywheel on the last page, but there arent any that im aware of on the market.

About your clutch noise, thats a different noise, thats the clutch plates floating around when they arent engage, thats a normal noise that all manual 350z should have. I believe that was covered in another post a little while back.

 

I thought the Nismo was also a dual mass and that's why it's not that much lighter than stock unlike other brands.

ottonove, I thought you were going to C&V?

 

No if you look at the NISMO one in a photo theres no way its dual mass.

I was, but this morning I thought why not go to croydon, as I know roughly I pull 180rwkw with HT, so if I go back to them I would hopefully know how much the flywheel, popcharger and pulley give me....
but obviously that was a wrong decision....

 

That was the right decision, so you can compare to your baseline. Just so happens that today wasnt the best day for it though

 

How much faster does it feel? A good amount! You kicking *** now? Got a mini review for us?

 

first gear finish alot faster now, and the engine rev faster/smoother in every gear.
5k to cutout still very tight, but thats prolly due to the engine only hv 2500kms on the clock.
My original aim modding the car was to make it more free reving like my previous car, a BMW E46 325ci. that car, that cars engine is so free reving, and comparing to the zed, the zed takes forever.

 

Thats sounds pretty cool, 2500k is just a baby.

I guess cams would be on your list then?

 

OTT:

You are obsolutely correct.... but wait until you try out m3's engine... that's really a free revving engine and you will know how much I missed that engine...

cheers,

richie

 

I thought about it, but its still early days, and I dont like the idea of opening the engine up, also the cost/power gain is too $$$ if you factor in installation with the cams

 

I've driven both E36 M3s and E46 M3
I liked the E46 the most, but if you going to mod the car E36 3.0L is the car to go.

 

Yeah but with Nathan or Peter doing the cam change I wouldnt be worried. I would anywhere else in AU because you can bet no one else has cracked open one of these babies before.

We're bloody lucky in Sydney to have a service center which actualy races the car. Damn cheap service too!

Otto,

When are you going back again?

And where will you be going?

 

I will go back to croydon, but no idea when, hopefully tomorrow morning

 

Let me know what time. I may come and say hello or even do a run myself.

 

it'll hv to be in the morning before work...
is that alrite with you?
