Aluminum flywheel friction plate

[jeanp]

Hi need your help again the PO of my 240Z did change the flywheel for a 11pound aluminum

I cannot figure from where it comes and was wondering if the friction plate is standard or

if I need same brand i am putting photo of the flywheel

Jean, I can't say for sure with out some measurements but that flywheel will probably take a standard clutch kit, but first off you need to take the fly wheel to a shop and see if there is enough meat left on it so that it can be turned flat again, you can't use it the way it is.

At least from the photo it looks grooved.

I think that was the question. I believe he is looking to replace the steel portion of the flywheel but needs to ID it first...

Looks like a Tilton to me.  There should be that manufacturers name stamped on it along with the Nissan part number 12310-F1011 for the 225mm unit and 12310-F1013  for the 240mm unit.  The replacement friction center is Nissan part number  12311-F1011 for the 225mm.  The replacement friction center for the 240mm is NLA.

Thank's for quick responses

measurements  friction plate outside 228mm inside 146mm cannot fine any number or letters anywhere on th flywheel or friction plate

and actualy i am looking to change friction plate only it as about 1/4 inch left on it i do not think i can have it flatened it would probably be

to thin.

Could also be a Fidanza.  Very similar to the Tilton.

Here's a link to pictures of various Fidanza flywheels:

Fidanza makes replacement steel center sections as well. Part #229501

Probably need to clean yours to see any engraving or markings.

John Coffey may have seen one of these before - http://zhome.com/Racing/Auto/Coffey.htm

Yes, I was was just looking at the exact same pictures at Hybrid Z. The Fidanza has a thicker crank hub boss on the backside, like the OP's picture . My Audi Fidanza aluminium flywheel has the same thick boss area. It's tough to call though.

If no identifying marks can be found it. Might be an idea for the OP to send the pictures to Tilton and Fidanza to see if they can make a positive ID.

Had a original Tilton aluminium Flywheel on my Race Datsun 1200 back in the mid 70's and one on my Autocross 1971 Camaro RS. Very nice piece of kit.

I have a Tilton. It has a slight "TL" looking engraving on the front. Just had it resurfaced and  my machinist said he could go down to the screw heads holding the disc on. He removed the dowls and resurfaced it with the disc in place. I can put up a picture in the morning but it's my bedtime now, sorry.

Awe what the hell. I was wrong anyway. Markings a "TE". Tilton engineering? "50-026" opposite end. Ga'night Jean P!

[jeanp]

Ok guys i did take a chance and order a 9" 20 holes fidanza friction plate

And i have a match it fits perfect.

I got my Tilton bolted up and the clutch kit on. I can hardly wait to see the difference with the lighter flywheel.
