    Default PAYDAY - buying goodies and need advice: flywheel, clutch & more

    Car - ADM AE86

    motor - 4AGE Smallport

    use - Street Car

    problem - looking for a good deal and advice

    occurs/started when -

    Okay so I'm about to bolt up the gearbox from my old 4AC to my new 4AGE, just thought while I am at this stage I may aswell get a new clutch at the same time (it looks about 50% worn...) also flywheel replaced with a new lightweight one.
    I'll be buying a VL fuel pump as well.(quoted for $60 for a 2nd hand one, $70 somewhere else - wreckers) just wondering where would be the best place to buy these items from. I have seen this deal here:

    They will post the flywheel and clutch kit all up for $392 AUD.($150 postage cost) If someone could tell me if it is worth it or not, or I can get better value somehwhere else etc. Also for the fuel pump and anything else I should replace at this stage. Thanks. Oh and I'll probably buy some extractors (thinking TRD copies) NEXT pay (next month).

    What do you guys think? Cheers.

    Buy direct from the supplier. I got a hd exedy for 270 trade, from direct clutches in brisbane. Also just get your fly wheel machined only cost around 50 dollars.

    And don't buy a second hand fuel pump.....what are you doing bout a lift pump to the main pump?
    You will also need new fuel filters.......one pre filter and a high pressure filter.

    Yeah I can get mine machined for $35, just thought a lightweight one would be a nice little upgrade while i have the engine & box apart. Okay I'll go for the Exedy HD clutch from direct clutch services as mentioned by jakel.

    i was just going to get a VL fuel pump and use that, keeping the tank over 1/4 at all times. Would this not work? Eventually i'll get a surge tank setup when i have the cash but trying to budget at this stage

    just got quoted $266 ($240 + $22 delivered) Exedy HD clutch from Direct Clutch services. Will keep ringing around for one closer to sydney but sounds like a decent deal..

    edit: okay some places are asking if i have I have a 200mm or 215mm flywheel & i am unsure... it's an ae92 smallport.. do i need to wait till i get home to measure it? farkk wanted to buy it today too..

    Pretty sure you have the 212mm flywheel, all ae92 varients were 212mm

    Re the fuel pump.....those pumps aren't designed to suck and feed......only feed. That and combined with the used nature of the pump you intend on using, its almost certain that it will fail quickly. Believe me I know, I went through 2 pumps like this on my turbo bluebird. Better off doing it properly the first time and not worrying bout being stuck on the side of the road.

    Fitting a jdm or intank setup is the proper way to do it
