Hey guys,

I know my clutch is on the way out, but i just want to confirm this is normal and not something serious with my engine...

When i drive past about 6,000 revs i can hear the turbos spooling really loud but i dont feel the power being delivered to the wheels.

This is normal right? It's just becuase the clutch is slipping even during normal driving and can handle the load over 6,000 rpm which means its on its last legs??

Stop doing that.....or you'll be looking for a new flywheel as well as a clutch.

Yes it's normal... your clutch is slipping, so the more power you put through it the more it will slip.

Thx again for the oil thread :P gold..pure gold

yup i agree its just your clutch...... sam4e thing happend to me,,,, do you also hear a sound of a cricket creeking when you have your foot away from the clutch???? and does it go away when you push the clutch down????

I replaced mine with a exedy hd clutch and got fly machined,,,,,, everything is sweet now,,,, no more slipping and because it has more clamping power than standard clutch i dont get asmuch of that ugly clutch smell that cops seem to hate

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
