thanks for the input everyone. id much rather deal with anything questionable now, instead of when it falls apart.

thanks kimmo
this is definately not cast. im not sure what grade of steel was used but ill find out.
i have had very light flywheels made in the past, all from steel, and have never had any issues.

have been looking at pics of flywheels on the net and have found quite a few of similar design. ill do some more asking around and find some more opinions on what i have. here are some pics of ones iv found flywheels.jpg flywheel3.jpg Mini-Flywheel.jpg swift csr flywheel 2.JPG C-AEG619.jpg C-AEG619....

Zamani wheels are 5x114, had some hub adapters made to convert pcd from 5x98. makes wheel options much easier. they are also handy for widening the track. jes, flywheel has been made out of billet, and was stress relieved once it was completed. it was made by a guy locally. i have seen a number a fl...

thought id post a few pics of my car and various work i complete. there is no one here with a successful/ seriously fast 116 here in nz. this is my attempt at making a quick car. state of tune at present is standard 2.5, although plans are to upgrade once im happy with the handling and improve the r...

can anyone out there tell me the best place to buy new crank plugs for a V6 crank?
are they commonly available or do they need to come from a specialist supplier.
i have never seen them avdertised.
any help or pointers would be much appreciated.

cheers

Kevin, the clutch housing is actually from a 75 ts. the only difference i found was the method of retaining the flywheel bearing. gtv6 uses a locknut and other cars seem to all use a circlip. went with a twin plate as i have had great success with them in the past. plus it was cheap off ebay . i had...

this is the setup i use. been great so far. nice engagment.
i have been using a tilton hyd release bearing aswell.
the clutch is a twin plate.

thanks Mats.
they all have close to 1mm free play.
is this too excessive?
have you had forks built up before?
does it make much difference to the shift?
it is for a race car so want it to be good.

cheers

Hi, i have started rebuilding a gearbox for my gtv. looking at both of my manuals there are two different clearances specified for the distance between the selector fork and selector hub. one says 0.2mm-0.5mm the other says 0.7mm-0.9mm. does anyone out there have any idea why they may be different. ...

Hi Scott, thanks for the suggestion. i have also been caught out by the firing order, although not this time. in desperation i hooked up the standard ignition and it started and ran perfectly. it seems that somehow the msd was out, and even though everything seemed to check ok- it wasn't. although i...

a small update. i had to buy an MSD Tach adapter, that has made it possible to start the car, however the timing seems way out and i cant get it to run much above idle, it just dies when i try to advance the throttle. i have gone over just about everything i can think of. earths have all been checke...

hi, thanks for the quick reply.
im pretty sure that both those earths are good. ill go over all of that tonight.

seems strange.

thanks

i have built a gtv6 race car and for the meantime, ill be running the stock ecu and loom. i did however take out most of the excess wiring from the rest of the car. and changed the fuse box to a much smaller item. i now have a problem where the car wont start. i left the ecu loom untouched. i have a...

i have a tubular bar almost set up.

i ordered some splined arms to fit my 1 1/4" bar from speedway engineering. all i have to do now is cut the arms down as they are very long and drill some holes for the drop links.

ill take some pics of what i have and post them.
