I have had many problems supplying people with Billet CA flywheels from Japan.When I do find used ones, and have them re-surfaced, they end up more expensive than the new flywheels that I bring in for other engines.So I contacted Ogawa Engineering (the people who make RG, and C-one flywheels) about doing up some CA units.They had no problem with it, as long as I would commit to 10 pieces.It took about 3 months for them to get them through their system, but they are here now.They are not the cheap flywheels coming out of china.They are 12.7 pounds.My eRip (or is that chinaBay) price is $335, but I will let NICO members have them for $300 + shipping (typically about $16 in the 48 states).FleaBay makes enough money off me as it is, so I would rather just pass their take onto you guys.There are 8 of them left, and some of those are listed on eRip.E-mail me at [email protected] if you have any questions.

Yes, those are nice..along with most of the CA parts you usually have for sale. Does your supplier do cam gears as well by chance?....just curious.

thanks,

Yes, but PLEASE PLEASE e-mail me direct.A typical day I have 3-4 windows open as it is, and seldom get time to check the e-mail sevice that I have with NICO.I always have the [email protected] address open, since it's my business account.

First off thanks for bringing this by us. They look nice.

I would just like to know if all the dimensions are the same as stock?I had purchased one off of ebay, I forgot the seller's name, but where the bolts go was thinner then stock and It messed me up.

All the critical dimensions are the same, mounting points, clutch size, etc..

But.......The way these are made lighter is by making them thinner.(steel is almost the same weight as cast iron)And that includes the clutch bolt area.So, you can not just go in and hammer the bolts in with an impact wrench.Torque the bolts to factory spec.s.The bolt thread area is only about 6-7mm thick, so you need to watch what your doing.

Also, most likely the flywheel that you have can be repaired.......

I just ordered mine, and it's shipping today.

If you haven't done business with Mr. Duax (importer) before, and he's selling a product you want, I recommend you send him an email. His knowledgeability of the items he is selling is equaled only by his patience and professionalism.

I've never experienced better service.

Also, this sale is endorsed by myself and the NICO staff as well. All of this has been cleared and this is a great deal.

I have personally done business with Gordon on many occasions and the transactions have always been perfect.

Lets help him out, so he can help us out again!

I do ship to Canada, and all other points on the Globe, To people who ask.The problem with eRip, is I can't do "PayLess (paypal) only to the US".And I have been hit so many times with PayLess charge backs from outside the US, that it just isn't worth it to me to accept PayLess from anyone other than in the USA any longer.Not that I won't, from people with good feed back, or I have done business with before.

So I have to do international money orders or Western Union.(unless I REALLY know the person !)And fleaBay won't let me mention Western Union,because they own PayLess..........

So many of the GOOD sellers from Japan face the same problem.People like southern-time-piece, and jdmturbochargerspecialistshave given up on eRip almost completely !Real shame!But they just could not make a profit with charge back after charge back.

But now I am starting to rant and rave about chinaBay...........

No, sorry.I can still get the newer style TOMEI units, but it costs a lot to get them state side.And I do get in the older style TOMEI gears with the cad plated center hubs.I have a set right now listed on eRip.

Thanks,Gord

This is a really bad time for me =(. If I would have seen this either a month ago or a month from now I would have been sold in a second!
