L Series Flywheel

[DOOM]

I have a 280ZX gearbox now, so I'm looking for a flywheel not sure if I need the 225mm or the 240mm. I'd be looking to get an Exedy clutch if that helps. Does anyone have a flywheel they want to part with?

you need to know what size you are going, stock for a 240-280zx is 225mm where as a mk-mq patrol run a 240mm which getting a clutch for is much easier and will hold a lot more power, finding one though is the hard part

Thanks for that, the other issue (if I wasn't clear) is that I'm not really sure which one I need. I have a C210 as you know with an L24 auto trans on it. I'll check the workshop manual but I don't it has sizes.

They have the same OD so either will work, you just have to get a matching clutch.

 

 

Some 2+2s have 240mm from what i've read.

[pauly_adams]

no 2+2 in aus have 240mm only mk-mq patrols, you can also buy a light weight 240mm one from the states for around 300-$400

After some googling and research the 225mm seems to be the right way to go.

 

So does anyone have a 225mm flywheel for sale?

Out of interest why did u end up on a 225

Can also use a L20B four cylinder flywheel, same centre bolt pattern ( L18 four cylinders are not)

The L20B flys use a 200 mm diam clutch/cover, Nissan sells these, at around 350kg clamp, but the Option part clutch unit clamps at 750 kg.

Why 200mm? Less rotating mass inertia, and keeps big chunks of clutch cover a bit closer to the centreline.

 

I get my 200mm covers, i use on the race cars, including the brilliant 280Z re-levered to give 1300 kgs of clamp..

 

Doom, i do have a few, but in Brisbane, so pistage will be a pain!

 

Haunt a few wreckers, there could be a few there with boxes ripped out.

A bolt into the block, a mate holding a big screwdriver, a breaker bar, and a bit of tube on end, and the fly bolts will ease right off,,,,,,,, hopefully!

Thanks for the advice and help guys very much appericated. The reason for the 225mm choice I guess is just to get the bloody car on the road, I think we may have one loacated. When I build a more hotted up engine (I still have the single carb with 400,000Km on it) I'll get my hands on a 200mm flywheel.

 

IT'S OK GOT ONE!
