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 271mm (10.7 inch) flywheel with a 105-tooth ring gear.

Overview
All flywheels for A-series engines interchange -- for rear-wheel drive vehicles. The A12 flywheel weighs 2.2 lbs (1 kg) less is the main difference. The A12 flywheel is also thinner.
- A12 12310-H1000: 9.7 kg (21.0 pounds as measured)
- A12 12310-H2310: 6.4 kg (14.1 pounds) GX, also sold as 'Race Option'
- A14 12310-H7200: 10.7 kg (22.3 lbs)
A14/A15 flywheel is thicker than the A10/A12 flywheel. When fitting the thinner flywheel to A14, remove the Engine Plate to compensate.
- A12: 30mm thick
- A14: NNmm thick
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
