hmm, i think you replied to the wrong thread.

 

Right !!!! I just walked out to my shop and brought a JWT F/W in ---This would work ---Just make sure u drill the right holes since there are extras for different applications----- So take ur time

 

im thinking its gonna be strong enough, 7 of the 9 were tq'd to spec, the other 2 i got pretty darn tight, i just didnt kill them. like i said, more than half of the thread stayed in the flywheel, so more than half of the bolt is threaded in. whats the worst thing that can happen?

 

Well first worse thing is me sweatin bullets every time I dump the Clutch-And second is uneven disc/pressure plate contact ---I guarantee ---It will come back to Bite You. And Iv been doin this enough years that I DO at times take the short cuts. But I know what works and what I can get away with --I like things right but Im no slave to perfection. Some people would Sh*t if they seen some of my ways. But it works ----This wont

 

damnit, i guess ill let the people at the shop check it out tomorrow, they are gonna be the ones doing it. this sucks. do you know what the right tq is for the bolts holding the clutch plate to the flywheel.

 

I can look it up on my 350Z Cd Factory Manual --I forgot --- Take me a little time ---Get back with ya

 

i know the specs for the stock one, its a 2 stage process, its like 10-14, then 28-32, i was just thinking the aluminum flywheel might take less.

 

Give me yr and Model

 

2003 g35 coupe

 

Im showing in the Factory manual for the 03 Z ---should be the same 10-19 1st 35-44 2nd

 

yeah thats probably right, its been a day since i looked at it, i remembered the 2 stage. i would think the aluminum jwt would require less, dont you think.

 

Thats imaterial now if u go with the Heli-Coils cuz what was an aluminum thread will become a Stainless Steel Thread

 

oh yeah i know that, im just wondering if i messed it up by torquing it down to stock specs.

 

Now thats a possibility --- Iv installed a few but dont recall wheather Wolf sent specs. Make Dam sure ur location pin is in the right hole for the G. G and Z timing is different. So the pin can be put in 1 of 2 locations to align to the timing pickup. U said it was used !!!! Was it on a Z ? Or a G ?

 

it was on a G sedan, and one of the holes was filled in, it would only install one way. i did notice that it was kinda wobbly on the crank plate, but the pin was in the hole, and it wasnt warped.

 

Ur Cool then --Keep me posted

 

ummm, not trying to be disrespectful, but grumpy, do you know what group you are talking to? these are the guys that have upgraded/modified many different aspects of this platform...

i ventured into uncharted waters last year when i built my motor and ran lots of boost... it broke, rebuilt it again..finally got it right...now making over 600rwhp on a 350z...this is what we do...we don't/won't keep it simple, because simple means 220 or so wheel hp..that gets boring quick..these mods have a price, we have all decided to take the plunge, i have no regrets

TODD

 

eazy, you think i can just take the 2 out, put some red loctite on them and go with it?

todd-i think he (grumpy) posted in the wrong thread.

 

Well give it a shot ---Scroll up and u will see what I said bout that. Id be nervous and I sure as hel wouldnt do it to a customers/Friends Car ---And --well not my own either ---And Im a gambler!!!!

 

haha, ok, i get your point. it all comes down to what the installer can do tomorrow. either i...

1. put the stock back on
2. retapp the JWT if they can do that
3. say **** it and let it ride, with loctite.
