Funny reading this again. When I was on the dyno with my fiero I stuffed my laptop case behind the drivers seat just incase the flywheel came apart. I am extremely nervous about having a redrilled flywheel after seeing what it did to this skyline.
I hope my sub boxes and a couple fire walls would stop the shrapnel from cleaving my back....
My flywheel may never break but it is one of the first things I would upgrade on my car. A SPEC aluminum flywheel is high on the priority list.

If I had to bet, I'd put money on one of Arch-bags new aluminum flywheels to let go. Based soley on his track record of crap.

I have a slight reason to suspect something has departed from my clutch assembly at high rpm... Heard a bang like a bolt flying out and hitting something, then heard it again later on. No noises since, and I crawled under the car to inspect the flywheel, and all the friction surface bolts, ring rear retaining bolts, and pressure plate bolts are accounted for and in place still. Problem is, the clutch slips if I try to launch hard, where it used to bite abruptly and firmly if called on.
