Had a new clutch fitted today, and ive noticed that when reving the engine round 6.5/7k, it seems to be vibrating much more than it did before, should i expect this? Also any1 know how long it takes to wear in the clutch? So much for 1250 at CAS, i got ripped :P

Also, when putting it into 4th, at under 2.5k revs, it goes fine. Anything higher, and i get a nice crunch sound...any takers?

hrmm try flushing and bleeding your clutch fluid.

Not sure about the vibration though. Maybe broken g/box mount or the center bearing was put on backwards?!?!

CEnterbearing - Have a look under the car to see if the tail shaft is in a straight line from the g/box to the diff.

Also to do the clutch the g/box oil is often lost so they usually replace the oil as well.

Try slapping in some Castrol VMX80 you will need 2 ltrs of it..

That is if the clutch bleed doesn't do anything to help the crunch.

I also use Nulon G70, excellent stuff, I've used it in all cars from a VL Whining Diff, to a VS LSD to the manual's in all cars that i've had.

It helps with gearchanges and stops diff whines.

The VL Diff was so damn loud, after a few hundred kays it quietened up considerably where it could only be heard slightly with the radio off.

To wear a clutch in you just drive it calmly for about 500km.

A friend of a friend had a vibration in his clutch after someone replaced it one day - this is going back 5 years - and it ended up being that when they put the preasure plate back on they used a rattle gun and tore the head off one of the bolts !!!!

The mis balance made it vibrate at a certain RPM !!!

BTW: I'm not trying to make you paranoid :)

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Hendasto · Posted

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
