Hello to everyone on Skylines Australia!

I/My friend will be needing you guys now as my friend just purchased a R33 last night!

The car is in very good mint condision, Manual, only 130,000kms, so many reciepts its not even funny, car is running 200rwKw at the moment at 7psi.

We bought the car and boosted for about 50Kms arround town.

We came on boost and held it all the way to about 6,000 rpm.

After a while we start to smell Clutch (you know..), and 30 minutes after the car isnt moving anymore, or i should say very very slowly due to the clutch slipping.

So I guess the Clutch is gone? What do we have to do te get it fixed? How much will it cost? and I guess this time we want a GOOD clutch.

The only explanation to me is when the car was producing its peak power arround 6,000rpm the clutch could not handle that amout of power, and burt.. You think?

Ill post pictures up soon!

Thanks for the help Guys!!

You are probably looking at about 400 in labour from a workshop + the cost of a replacement clutch.

if it is still running the standard turbo you will be fine to replace it with a heavy duty organic one or if you just want to make it more of a pain to drive in traffic you can get a button clutch instead.

Clutches generally go under heavy load... at 6000rpm in the right gear, there isnt actually much load on the clutch.

Go out on the highway, and stomp on it in a taller gear, and that will generally apply alot more load causing the clutch to slip.

In your case the clutch does sound fried tho, but its a very quick death. Are you sure you didnt try to do a line locky and smoke the clutch instead of the tires

All we did was just drive the car normaly, no drifting, no burnouts.

All we did is just Boost, in all gears we gave it some nice boost and had fun.

Clutch was always fully out, and wwe reved to about 6-7000..

So why did the clutch decide to die?

At the start when we smelled clutch we reved to 6000rpm and then it went way to quickly to 7000.

So now the clutch is dead.

If we get a button clutch whats the difference?

We want a GOOD clutch. and where can we buy it?

Ok thanks for that guys.

So what is a good clutch I should get? Something that will last... you know.

And is there any chance i could do the install at home, or should i leave it to the garage?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
