WTB 1972 DATSUN 510 FLYWHEEL

[Darrencampagne]

Hello


I am.look for a 1972 datsun 510 flywheel

I have a L20B engine.

That is all I know. I will post pictures of what came out of it.

What is your goal with this engine? A nice-to-drive mellow motor, or some rip snorting cantankerous thing?

[Darrencampagne]

It's just the stock engine in the car I'm just replacing the clutch extremely damaged my flywheel so I just want to replace it with the original style flywheel just so I can drive it daily no racing nothing special

One issue is the size of the clutch. Depends on what the l20b originally came out of. Cars got 200mm surface dia and trucks 225mm. The preferred hot rod setup is lighter is better. So the 6 bolt 200mm is harder to find my nowadays. Ive got a 225 here but getting to the mainland is probably more trouble. I'd expect you can source one closer to home. 200mm thats going to be harder.

Mine is a 6 bolt.... I am having no luck here. Thank you for the information I really appreciate it

[510rob]

What is this noise I hear about a replacement friction surface that is 3 weeks away? That implies Tilton or Fidanza...

I have a 200mm L20b one, but there are also a couple on ebay right now.

Why can't you just have a machine shop mill it down flat??? That's the normal thing to do for damage.


6 bolt mount to crankshaft is a 2 liter and up engine flywheel. Used on all L24/L26/L28, L20B, Z20/Z22/Z24 and KA-E and DE engines and most certainly NOT a stock 510 flywheel. If replacing the wheel you are replacing the PP and friction disc anyway so you can run 200mm, 225mm or even a 240mm assembly depending on what's available. I don't see any advantage to sticking with exactly what you have (what ever it is) so go with either a 200mm or a 225mm. The Z car 225mm is the lightest at 21 pounds. Truck 225mm are about 29 pounds. The 240mm comes in 21 or 29 pounds.


Where are you located?????

[Darrencampagne]

I am located in Coquitlam BC

[datzenmike]

Can you have yours machined?

I've got an assortment of 225mm 6 bolt flywheels. Probably still have the 21 pound '79 280zx I harvested. The rest are likely 29 pound. A shop could always drill a smaller base circle so that a 200mm pressure plate would work.

[Darrencampagne]

The machine shop told me they couldn't do it

[Darrencampagne]

This is mine

[Darrencampagne]

It looks like someone tried to balance it??. I bought it needia clutch so I have no idea what was done before I bought it in terms if the clutch.

I got dozens of flywheels covers and disks in Richmond send pm with number to arrange

[datzenmike]

Looks like an after market aluminum wheel. 200mm The center part is steel and removable so it can be machined. But tell the truth it doesn't look gouged up from the disc rivets, or the pressure plate. Some 220 sand paper and a block of wood to take the glaze off and a new PP and disc is probably all you need.

Also two of the alignment dowels are missing that position the pressure plate.
