The lightened flywheel was installed by the previous owner. Not sure which brand, but it's aftermarket. I'm thinking probably in the 13-18lb range.
It chatters at idle where the stock clutch/flywheel is more quiet.
The 05+ G35 6mts had the Rev-up engine. By comparison to the automatics and previous engines, it has a different intake design and higher redline (7000 vs 6600). It's peak torque is slightly lower than the automatic, but it produces more peak HP.
Many of the rev-up engines have oil consumption problems. The issues was caused by poor quality control in the piston rings. The revised engines have the newer, probably higher quality, piston rings. My engine was replaced at 55k miles for oil consumption.
My G just seems to put out more HP than most. The shop owner that I dynoed my G at last was a little surprised too.
I put down almost as much peak HP as a fully modified 05 that was there running full exhaust, intake and tune, the only difference is his torque curve was much smoother and had a higher peak than mine (this is a big deal!!!).
