Nissan 350z Transmission Ring Gear and Flywheel replaced on Drift Car
We had a unique problem, where our ring gear on the flywheel was damaged. This caused the crank position sensor to read incorrectly, preventing the car from running at a certain RPM. To fix this, we swapped out the damaged flywheel with a new one from @actionclutch
We choose this fly wheel due to its low weight, faster engine response, and high heat tolerance. Before we could throw in the new fly wheel we had to drop the exhaust and trans bracing so that the trans could come out. With the clutch and trans out of the way we can throw in the new fly wheel. We use a special tool to prevent the flywheel from spinning, this will allow us to apply the proper amount of torque.
We use @permatexusa red Thread locker on brand new ARP bolts and run them down evenly before torquing the flywheel bolts to 75 foot-pounds. The last thing we do before installing the clutch is thoroughly clean the surface of the fly wheel, any contaminants or fluids will cause issues when the clutch goes to engage. Now that it's properly installed we can remove the install tool and put everything back together.
