Looks like I might be getting a Fidanza lightweight flywheel soon!

Looks very similar to the JWT flywheel, which is the one I had on my wish list, however its a reported 0.4 lbs. lighter than the JWT one coming in at a reported 15 lbs. That's nearly half the weight of the stock flywheel which is 28 lbs.

Doesn't appear that anyone on these forums has tried this flywheel yet so I will be sure to give my review.

Yes! AccessPORT should be arriving any day, although I still have not begun researching places to do a custom tune for me, nor do I know if I can even afford one right away so I may just wait for the "off-the-shelf" COBB tunes to come out. So for the immediate time being I will just play with the functions that I can't blow my car up with.

hmm, I thought Fidanza made JWTs flywheels. They did for the 350.

That would explain their similarities. Once I have it I will weigh it and see if it is truly 15 lbs. even or 15.4 like JWT claims.

Cool Mike, let us know how that goes. I am really itching for a lightened flywheel too. Soon enough I guess.

Srry to get off topic guys, but I was wondering how Mike was doing with the fuel starvation problems. It seems like a common issue for 370z track users...It is starting to bother me with the constant filling up. Some guys like Travis and Phunk have been starting different projects to solve it. Any ideas Mike???

I haven't done anything as far as fuel starvation aside from trying to convince a few companies to make some sort of surge tank kit for the car. I don't have a shop or fabrication skills so I will have to wait until someone releases a kit.

lol, phunk has completed a road race pump that should help fuel starvation (???), it's being tested now....

COBB Tuning AccessPORT just arrived! I don't have a tuned map for it yet, but nevertheless, I shall retire to the garage for a while to play around with it!

I am sure you can remove that pesky top speed limiter.
