Clutch Seems To Slip

[Lwood]

I drive a nissan skyline GTS N/A I have only recently noticed this but when i take my foot of the clutch it makes a noise as if a bearing is about to go/not greased... i think i might be the thrust bearing?? and its started to get harder to put the car in to gears any idea of what this could be?? this has caused to clutch to wear away very quickly any one had this problem and can anyone recommend a good quality clutch??

id just get a standard 2nd hand 1 see how long it takes to wear... then if its all good i recommend a Xtreme Xtra Heavy Duty Clutch - pricy but u wnt need 1 for a while

it seems that one of the bearings or something in there is out of place.... i wouldnt waste time throwing a standard one in if your paying for the labour to get it done.... they should pick up any probs while installing it.... also does the car make a sound like a cricket on a summer night?? if it does its definately the thrust bearing.

also i wouldnt go out and get a massively over killed clutch on a NA skyline.... i got an exedy heavy duty installed in my r33 gtst.... $600 includeing labour about a year ago, only running at 200rwkw but im sure thats more than ur NA anyway and i have never slipped once.... with the stock clutch it slipped all the time down at 160rwkw....

if you go for sum super dooper clutch worth 1000's, you might aswell throw on rocket jets to the side of the car and never turn them onn. or spend 1000's upgrading the standard gearbox to a much stronger one that can handle over 1000rwkw easy, even though it is a massive ammount of overkill...

my opinion from what ive done but go for nothing more than an organic hd coz waering of a clutch has more to do with sliping than anything else... also the exedy hd drives as soft as the nissan factory clutch with heaps more clamping power, more than enough for an NA.
