I figured I'd post this. Years ago I had a flywheel lightened for my nissan. They shaved about 8 lbs off the back with a stepped computerized machining process. They also redressed the face and offered to machine a .010 step where the pressure plate bolts to increase clamp force.

The price was $160 plus shipping. Compared to the aluminum flywheel prices it was a bargain. This was one of there specialities.

That would be all fine and dandy if we had a manual for our cars. All we have is a auto, and our flex plate is already extremly light and nothing would be gained by making that lighter with a 50lb torque converter bolted to it

 

Well I was going to post in the tranny swap thread but didn't want to thread jack.

 

It wouldnt have hyjacked a already hyjacked thread. Its too late any way for me. Ive got it all assembled now and ready to drop in. May be usefull info for the CL guys and the 3rd gen tl guys though
