hey guys hows it going..long time member first time 'newtopic' :devil: the deal is i bought a pretty exspensive ecedy clutch kit and fly wheel last year.. i had a heaps of money and asked the guy i want the best clutch u can get for the street so he got me and Exedy cermic button one with a exedy lightweight flywheel and i changed my fork and pivot and also bearing housing in the box.. so everything was knew to do with the assy and also had the master and slave rebuilt with stainless tubing...just wondering if it cood just be that some water has gotten in the whole in the side of my gear box?? there is a big whole in the side from the pervious clutch exploding bolts..because this clutch shouldnt be slipping.. ive got 300rkw and this thing is rated to like heaps!! any help would fine, thankyou heaps..sorry about this rambling on but i am just really anxious ive wasted all that money...

If you've been daily driving the button clutch, as suggested above, you will burn out the material quickly. It's made to grab and that's it. You slip it too much and you'll wear it out as fast as a standard clutch.

if its a unpsrung hub you shouldnt be driving daily, best for racing

a light flywheel, = more slipping to get moving on hills from standstill, wearing the clutch faster

riding the clutch pedal,,,even the slightest bit on the pedal will kill the clutch/throw out bearing

out of alignment /bolt torque not even will kill the clutch

oil on the plate = failure. water on the plate will warp it

oily hand prints will hot spot it ending in failure

hope this helps a bit ?

    • Bah! I can't see the point in custom number plates at all. I went to the rego office, fished through a box of "premium" plates (the ones that had the "not as tall" option for the front plate) and picked the one that had a 32 in it. That's the limit of the effort and cost I will put into number plates. The only plate that I'd consider paying for would be 2332, but that's not possible here because it already exists from probably 90 years ago, and it would cost a fortune to obtain it, if it were available.
    • After chasing my tail with LS results..... and cheaper than a turbo swap... How confident are you that the dyno is accurate relative to other results? How fast is the car - What MPH does it actually run? Is this similar to what people running this power would expect?
    • Hi mate I am having an identical issue with my 98 R34 GTT. The engie suddenly cuts out under load at about 3-4k, black smoke out exhaust. Almost feels like traction control kicking in. No CEL but still going to check codes later today. Car was sitting in the shed for about 5 months before hand and only idled a few times, took her out with about 1/4 tank, filled up and thats when the issues started happening.  Threw on a spare set of coils/harness and checked plugs which was no help. Recently had fuel pump/filter changed so surely thats not the issue unless condensation in fuel, I just havent had the time to drain it It's running a hi flow turbo, bosch 1000cc injectors, walbro 450L, Z32, Nistune etc... All about 2000km old.
    • I always wonder where the obsession with legal/illegal spacing on number plates in the UK comes from. Because it comes up in comments in every UK-based video I see on youtube. From my point of view all of your plates look a bit odd. Just because there are no markings whatsoever. In Australia we have the state that has to be on it. In Europe you get stamps and state logos. Yours look a bit like a throwaway draft that people then stuck with. And attached with blu tack so that it falls off at the slightest disturbance. Not trying to hate, but it's interesting how things are done in different countries. Do you have to follow a lettering convention when choosing a custom plate?
    • Hybrid sounds like a supercharger... It's half a turbo, with a belt to drive it! Oh wait, they're just called super chargers...
