R34 Drivers - Stinky Clutch Now All Better?

Hi all,

I think I may have a buggered clutch but I am wary of being a hypochondriac about it!

Last week I did a 7k launches on GTr with 80k km's, std turbo's, Power Fc, and poncams . This combo made 550Nm and 250rwkw when tuned.

After the launch I returned to the office with a stinky clutch, it was still stinky 5 hours later after a 45min drive home in traffic, yet didnt feel any different to drive. On the weekend I took it out and found that on a hill in 3rd with foot down I saw the front torque swing up to 20 on the gauge. Oops buggered clutch I thought .

But by monday after leaving the car for 2 days, I couldnt repeat it, and last night the worst I could do up a hill in high gears was get the torque split to read 2.9.

So have I really stuffed my clutch or did I perhaps have some oil on the friction material that has now burnt off?

What do others see on the MFD torque monitor when driving vigorously (vs clutch dumps)?

Cheers & thanks

Ned

Standard clutch? Mine looked ok when I pulled it out but i never did think they were good clutches. How many K's on it?

Even if your clutch is fine I'd be upgrading. A nismo super coppermix twin plate is a superb clutch for the car. I've got one in mine as well as many friends with GTRs. As does the Nismo Z-tune (albeit the beefier one)...

Hi there Sewid,

the clutch has ~80k km's so is getting near its useful life. I commute in the car so ease of use is high on the requirememt list, how is the coppermix?

I have th eoption of OS giken twin plates, a rebuilt strengthened single, or a Nismo Gmax (not coppermax), which would you take? it might be nice to have the oiption of some high rev launches but mainly its enthusiatsic driving that would be the key with docile city driving most important.

Cheers

Ned

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
