Default Flywheel Question

The stock replacement flywheel cost about $900.

The Nismo is only about $483.

Why would the Nismo be so much cheaper?

Does it wear differently?

Would a lighter weight flywheel hinder launching from a dead stop?

Maybe the stock price includes the clutch? Otherwise, I'm not sure.. Lighter = Less materials used = cheaper?? I'd like to knoe as well..

Stock flywheel doesnt include the clutch. It costs so much because it cant be resurfaced and its an OEM only item.

The stock clutch is more complex than the Nismo. However, the Nismo weighs much less, hence the price difference.

Same reason a Nismo wheel is +-$500 and a stock OEM wheel is like $900 -1200... OEM parts from a dealership are ALWAYS expensive.

ya its a little game the dealers like to play.

i had a dealer try and charge me more than that for a flywheel, plus the cost of the OEM clutch kit. I ended up with going NISMO everything. i love the nismo to death, it made such a difference, but the only downside is the chatter.

next time i'm going JWT for clutch kit and flywheel.

not sure why it costs more, but ill never go back to stock.
