r34 with basic boltons, i dont know what clutch is on it atm. I have taken the car to two trackdays and never any issues. last night i took a sweeping right turn up a hill in third and WOT, and revs started going up but the tyres wernt spinning. So i thought obvious clutch is gone. I then testes by dumping in first with a hard gear change to second, BUT clutch grabbed fine. What is problem??

you sure it wasnt spinnin one wheel? itwas either spinnin one wheel or spinnin the clutch . give it a quick stab goin up a hill in third at about 5 grand not enough to make it hit the limiter but if the revs flare up insted of it just grabbing again you know thats what it was

put car in 4th gear and try to take off with the handbrake on. give it a few revs as you would to take off normally in 1st.

dont hold it on the limiter and step off the clutch pedal lol. if the car stalls its ok, if it tries to drive through the clutch then its on the way out. it will start to slip in heavier load applications, 3rd and 4th gear to begin with, then all the time when its f@#ked.

dont let it get to that stage.

a off the shelf heavy duty organic clutch will cost you $800 fitted at most shops. (decent ones anyway)

a custom built Jim Berry organic or similar about $1200 fitted. Nismo coppermix also very good.

DO NOT FIT A BRASS BUTTON OR CERAMIC CLUTH PLATED CLUTCH TO A STREET DRIVEN CAR. no matter what people on here tell you. especially given that your car is mostly standard.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
