hey guys i have had this only happen once yesterday, the clutch is a exedy five button and has only 2000kms on it with only a few hard launches. its in an r32 gtr with 265kwatw. my question is this common or does it need some sort of adjustment?

something else to mension i wasnt driving around for long when i gave it some stick!

hmmm

your rear main seal has begun to leak and some oil got on your clutch maybe?

or your clutch may have just had some clutch dust or something on it from over use?

well as long as the engine is putting out less power then what the clutch is designed for (or a similar amount of power even) then it shouldnt just slip for no reason. maybe it just needs to bed in if its only just been installed but if it was done with the engine then im not sure it shouldnt be slipping

is it doing it all the time?

well whatever it is get it sorted asap. slipping clutch will only get worse. and if it's just a simple set-up thing allowing it to slip will just wear the clutch out quick smart. I would say it's set-up/install problem. possibly wrong length sleeve/bearing carrier used, or the take up point incorrectly set-up so that the clutch is not completely engaging etc. the other thing is it could be a faulty pressure plate, or even just a clutch not up to the job. but i'm still banking on set-up/install since it's so new.

brand new lightened flywheel!

it had previously a hyper twin plate which was undriveable, the take up point was very short, this clutch had only 1000kms on it, so i sold it and got the button type

Pressure plate is certainly a possibility if it was not replaced. They fatigue over time and if you have a new clutch the clamping pressure will be higher which is more strain on your pressure plate. The 6-spd tremec in the VY SS I sold a while back had this issue.

Take it back to where you had it installed, get them to sort it. Quick smart like Baron said, slip = wear.

OK heres the low down, spoke to exedy mel. today and they said that the sports tuff heavy duty button clutch that i have will only support 400 - 450hp at flywheel, seeing as i have 360hp at all wheels they say that it is border line and that i should go for a hyper twin plate setup. Ive already had one of these and it was undriveable! Any suggestions???

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
