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.

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.

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.

      Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing

      I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
