I gotta decide what I want to get, the JWT or Nismo flywheel. I am getting a new tranny installed so I am gonna get the flywheel R&R's for only $35 labor. Now I just need to decide which one. I don't car about drag racing at all, just good road course performance on R compound tires. I would like it to remain somewhat streetable. What do you guys think? I was all set to go Nismo, but now, I just don't know.

Thanks!

 

I've got the Nismo currently and like it but I'm awaiting a 2nd tranny replacement as well. I think I'm going with the JUN on the next tranny, I had one in hand and it looks like a flawless design and much lighter than the Nismo.

Anyone have any opinions on performance??

 

wait, between which 2 are you deciding?

your subject says JWT and JUN, but your message says NISMO and JWT.

I should have mentioned all three in my subject. I need something that will be readily available to order overnight air on Monday so I can have it by Weds.

 

JWT claims that you can use any clutch made for the Z32 with their flywheel. I don't know if that holds true for the other 2 makes. With this you have a much wider choice for clutches.

 

Whats with all these tranny replacements? Its kinda got me worried. I have the dreaded 3rd gear grind and im sure i have some other symptoms.

I've been holding out on any tranny mods just incase i do have a problem and my tranny does die on me. With my luck they wouldnt touch my car with a 10 ft pole.

Personally, the flywheel i've really been interested in is the Jun chromolly flywheel. Mostly because i've always heard that chromolly had better weight distrobution than aluminum. That and its stronger i guess? I've been looking for some good reviews, but in my uneducated state, i tend to lean towards the Jun... but then again, i'm pretty knew to this whole import car thing.

 

from what i've read the NISMO unit isn't a huge jump from stock. if I buy something i want it to feel significant. Especially something that cost this much.

 

here's some reviews of other flywheels

JUN

NISMO

NISMO, good review

 

I think I am going with the JUN just because it's a forged unit. I have seen aluminum ones come apart before and that scares me. I am not a dragracer so I don't really need a stronger clutch. It looks like SGP is a good place to order from?

 

sounds good to me

1-piece does have a nicer piece of mind.

 

Should hold out for the 350EVO 1 pc steel flywheel.........its the strongest 12 lbs.
We are working with Sachs on a performance clutch but the OEM clutch will work.
It will retail in the $500 range..............

 

sneak peak

 

If you're doing a flywheel replacement, you migh as well get a new clutch.

Only $395.

Also, ordering from sgpracing is great. Kyle made the entire experience worthwhile. They're standup guys out there in Texas.

 

I have JUN flywhell installed in mine. I went with JUN cuz it's lightweight (14lbs. instead of 28lbs for stock) and it's forged so it's better than any two/three piece flywheel. Plus, you'll be able to tell the difference right away. It makes your car rev up faster. I raced this other Z33 that had Injen intake on the track, his take off time was .538 and mine was 1.225 and I was pulling up on him.

Raceboy, you said you're not into drag at all? how come you want to change your flywheel? If you're into looks more, you shouldn't change it to lightweight cuz it makes a noise when idle and low rpms.

Anyway whatever you decide to get...good luck. If you decide to get JUN though you can get it at Signal Auto if you're in So. Cali.

Here's a pix of my JUN and RPS upgrade clutch system.

 

JUN all the way...

 

who has the JUN in Stock???

 

Signal Auto had to order it from Japan. It takes about couple of weeks to get it delivered. But it's well worth it. They install it too. I can give you guys the number and address if anyone has it, i just have to look for it though if anyone's interested.

 

The 350evo flywheel is the one to get........
it is by far the best quallity flywheel that will be available for the Z.
Jun is very good stuff...but just wait.

 

dwnshft, if the clutch gets blown is your flywheel resurfacable? It looks like it would have to be replaced if the clutch gets blown.

 

I will check ...I am willing to put our flywheel up against anything else on the market.
We may be the new small guys on the block but we are out to be the best.
