Hey guys, recently just had this issue. The problem is that when i put my foot down in 3rd or 4th or any of the gears well mainly the 3rd or 4th(MANUAL), my rev just goes back a little bit like the car dies out but comes back a second.. Could this be my clutch? it feels like a clutch issue. My current mods to my car atm are a Full 3" exhaust with highflow cat, Bleed valve @ 10-11psi, Apexi Pod,FMIC,walbro fuelpump 255l,splitfire coil packs with plugs BCP6RES 0.8mm. Thanks. I was thinking if it was the clutch?

Clutch would mean the car rev's up more easily/free without actually going any faster.

To me, basically the same as every other thread on the mid RPM 'hole'.

Your running 10-11psi on the stock ECU so its likely to be having a fit and going into R&R mode (which is impecably well documented)

when im doing about 70kms on 3rd gear full throttle, the car just splutters or for like half a 2nd then clims up ... usually when you put your foot down it just pulls off... now it does some sort of half a 2nd stutter...

i just checked em before. everything is fine, it still goes down like i duno how to explain it, i thnk its the clutch sleeping when i put my foot down......

Red bull would really wake up a sleeping clutch......

so it could be the timing? Because it was fine just a couple of days ago............could it be the gearbox?

il try and explain it again.... Just say im on 3rd gear and my rev is at about 3-4prm .. If i plant my foot down, my car will stutter for about half a mili second n then just pull a lil.... sometimes it does it and sometimes it doesnt. .. its wierd...

ive got a similar problem. except mine does it in 3rd 4th at about 2-3000rpm. i could notice it more when i got my new turbos put in.

ive been told my car runs lean and the timing retards which causes like a jerking sensation, only for a split second or while im "cruising" and my revs are floating from 2-3000rpm.

correct me if im wrong.

hopes this helps

not a clutch, gearbox or diff issue, its 100% around the engine,

as R31Nismoid has said, check things like spark and timing, AFM, to be honest, could be something to even do with fuel,

say when you put your foot down, it just puts a lot more fuel into the engine then wat its ment to which causes the drop in power because it cant really burn it (splutters), then once thats out of the system 0.5secs or what ever it might be it will burn normal again and you get power back,,

If it was your clutch and you put your foot down, revs will go up, speed will go down becuase your not going anywhere, and normally once it starts burning like that it wont grab at the higher revs,

so take the point of gearbox or clutch completely out,

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
