Whats happenen people...

Ok. I got a R33 GTST and its starten to act a lil wierd. If you go to accelerate at a standard rate its fine aslong as you dont floor it but if you do floor it the egines jumps bout 2-3000 rpm and revs like hell n thjen goes.It does it when you go to give it a bit while your cruizing.It use to be minor but now it happens a fair bit.I'm thinken it's the clutch but my bro reckons it's turbo lag or a vacuum leak.He has never had a performance car so I don't tend to trust him on everythen so im after a second opinion.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Certainly sounds like the stock clutch is slipping under load. There's a group buy on here from C & B who does Exedy HD kits, I bought one but never fitted it before I sold the car but the price and service was excellent and would suit your application. It's important to confirm that this is the case though before you go throwing money at it, when it's revving away is it actually moving any faster or is it simply revving a lot but not making much more forward momentum? So if you're doing say 50 in second and plant it does it simply rev up but not add much speed? This would indicate a failing clutch.

Good luck.

Hey dude i have had the same problem i changed the clutch and everything is perfect now

Another vote for the clutch!

May aswell change it, with the mods u got a better clutch should have been next on the list anyway. May be a blessing in disguise.

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
