Clutch Problem?

[dcanna]

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

thats when it slips, under load, sounds like clutch

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.

Big big BIG +1 for no ceramic clutch.

Mine's just gone actually, driving sedately as anything and having been told "this will never break"
