Datsun 1200 uses a traditional type of flywheel at the back of the engine. The face matches the Clutch while a ring gear is attached to the perimeter for the Starting Motor to turn the engine. It uses a 105-tooth ring gear.


All flywheels for A-series engines interchange -- for rear-wheel drive vehicles. The A12 flywheel weighs a bit less is the main difference.

  • A12: 9.7 kg (PN 12310-H1000)
  • A12: 6.4 kg (Race Option flywheel PN 12310-H2310]


In 1974 flywheel bolts changed from British Threads to Metric threads. So the bolts are not interchangeable from early to late. See Crankshaft for details.


Lightening

For race cars, a light flywheel allows the engine to rev faster according to this principle:

The more weight, the more time it takes to accelerate


Now a street car wants a heavier flywheel, so that it will:

  • smooth out the combustion pulses
  • smooth out the drivetrain


These are the factory specs for flywheel weight reduction:

Finished wheight is about 6.5 kgs --a total of 2 kgs removal
