Hi guys.

Was at a party last night and when i left, my mate told me to smoke it up a bit....so i did.

Revved till about 3-4 then dropped the clutch. Went up and hit the limiter and moved forward about 30 metres.

Didnt feel right so i reversed back and asked my mate if my wheels spun at all, and they didnt.

Got a rank smell in the car which was there for about 15 minutes. Wasnt tires or brakes, hadnt come across this smell before.

when i got home, i lifted the bonnet but there was no smell from there. Went around to the tires and the back passenger side stunk of this smell.

Im not sure if its my clutch, as it was fully disengaged when i "tried" to smoke it up.

Any ideas what it is or what it could be?? Not sure if i should be worried. :down:

Thanks guys.

Yep sounds like clutch. Dont be surprised if it starts to slip when you hit boost.

Not sure what you mean but that, you engage the clutch to drive the rear wheels. Your problem will be that its slipping when engaged.

yeah stock clutch is pretty good for normal driving

as soon as you wind it up or get on the burnouts in 2nd gear / clutch dumps = dont even bother

go for a single plate heavy duty

should be sub $1200 fitted and supplied

lol. Your clutch is rooted.

Do you have a Vent to atmosphere BOV? That could also be the problem. Put the factory plumback on, and it will help. Puts less load on the clutch.

Dump it harder...

More rev's and side step it, if your fairly violent with it, it'll break the initial traction and not really have time to slip.

Unless your running semis or something special :down:

Also, don't sit on the brake and dump it. Drop it, get it spinning and then apply as little brake as possible for desired effect.

Lol, i did something like this too. Was trying to see some stats from a mates iPhone Dyno program. Revved it to 4-5k RPM, let the clutch out, wheels spun a bit, caught and then no power with the yummy burning clutch smell. Around 260rwkw, with stock clutch - i think its stock anyway, shall find out next week.

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
