wheel i just put a fidanza flywheel and a stage1 spec clutch in and it was running fine for about the 1st three weeks and now its making a nasty grinding sound. It doesnt do it while im driving it or when i rev it up in neutral. When im @ a stop light and i have it in gear it grinds when i rev up some and it still makes the grinding sound when idling untill i put it in neutral or take off and then it go's away. Its starting 2 annoy me can anyone help?

Did you replace the crankshaft to flywheel bolts? This may sound crazy but I did the exact same thing as you, fidanza and Spec stage 1 and while I was torquing the 2nd bolt out of the six down it snapped in half like it was made out of glass. This was like at 30 lb/ft. I used a screw extractor and got the old one out, luckily. I called Nissan of Des Moines and the guy there said he could get them for me($46 for six) and that a guy a few months before had to order them just like me so I know it wasn't just me. Anyway, if one of those bolts broke as they are supposed to be replaced if they have been torqued more than twice or are more than 2 years old, then you have a loose bolt in there causing a grinding noise. Just a crazy idea. Hopefully it's not this!
