Burning Smell

[TMW-R34]

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.

Thanks guys.

LOL at admitting a failed burn out attempt shouldnt take 30metres to realise aint nothin happening..

anyway i say clutch but i wouldnt really know

[TMW-R34]

didnt want to admit it but i had to explain it the best i could haha.

I seriously hope its not my clutch.

My foot was fully off it though, i dont understand???

[Turbo Dave]

Just because your foot was off the clutch doesn't mean it wasn't slipping.

From what you have descibed I would say clutch also!!!

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

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

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.

[TMW-R34]

well thats a bugger. as its the stock clutch in there.

I have a similar experience...

I was going for 2nd though, was well through 1st, a lot of smoke so didn't realize for a second. Stock clutch and 285's don't mix hahaha

New clutch about a week later

[paulr33]

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.

I too will say clutch. Your clutch was not engaging the drivetrain and just frying with all the friction.

fark me is anyone else getting frustrated with the skylineAUS site being stupid slow to load or not loading at all then requiring multiple reloads and get damn multi posts

[jase-r34]

I hear ya mate! ^^^^

[jase-r34]

To the OP, it's definately the clutch. I overcooked mine at the drags.... but because im kind to it, it's holding up. If i tried a good hard burnout im sure it would be toast tho.

Yep that was me. Whats the deal with avoiding that????

[Finchy33]

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

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.

definately sounds like clutch mate get heavy duty try again and it should look like this

if not your doing it wrong.

[Aberax]

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.

[TMW-R34]

Thanks for all the replies guys.

Although you have all given me upsetting news lol.

How much is it roughly to install a new clutch??

Im in Perth, probably buy one off just jap.

[TMW-R34]

Yeah the stock blow off valve is on.
