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???

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
