hey guys I haven't posted much on the forums yet, I've had my 97 s2 r33 for about 5 months now and it's been absolutely awesome, I love it. Haven't had amy problems with it till now, I've just noticed over the last couple of days that when I'm in 4th gear flooring it the revs seem to go up to around 4000r/min then it holds there for a while.. Sometimes the revs flick Down to 3rpm for a second then back up slowly to 5rpm. It feels like it's lost abit of power and also sounds like the engines lagging abit. I'm gonna take it in for a service next week, anyone have any idea what it could be?

I actually first noticed it in 3rd gear, kinda sounds like a humming noise that doesn't change pitch when it normally would when accelerating.. So it seems 1st and 2nd are fine but 3, 4, 5 seem to have lost abit of power.

No backfiring or shaking, but 4th definitely stands out more than the others.

i dont think this is a Drivetrain issue. its only doing it in 4th gear because its getting the most load in 4th.

Its a issue with the way the engine is running etc etc that he cannot feel in other gears.

Clutch prices vary, try searching the forum, there's plenty of different clutches from sellers depending on your budget and power level.

There are also places like NPC clutches and there's a group buy in the forum on clutches, start reading! :closedeyes:

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
