Where Can I Bring My Gtr To? Problems Arising...

[gwin]

Hi guys

So my car is starting to do a slow and steady death in terms of driveability.

I don't know if it's the clutch slipping or some other unearthed problem. Sometimes the car doesn't rev or pick up speed like it should. It feels like I'm pulling a two tonne truck at the back, revving it freely is fine. More to do with trying to pick up speed in 2nd gear. On full launch, 4-5krpm, the car revs but doesnt seem to transfer the power to the drive train. after a few seconds or so, then only it'll kick in.

sometimes it'll rev at a, 3krpm, and speed will remain constant then only pick up.

Anyway, without trying to 2nd guess too much, anyone know who I can bring my car in to have a look at it? preferably near the Preston (northish cbd) area.

Thanks!

Thanks guys

Yea I ordered an Exedy HD from Dan @ modyourcar, no dosh for a twin plate at the moment, this came unexpectedly. Also ordered new seals and a nismo pivot ball from Kudos, since they'll be under there.

Will be taking it to some Clutch/Brake specialist up the road *cross fingers*

My car is my life at the moment, I can't do anything without it.

they're very well priced in my opinion. you basically get what you pay for its really that simple.

I agree mate, they are very well price for the work they do I just meant that they might be a bit pricey compared to some other places around. I'm one of their customers and honestly I couldn't be happier, i'v never had any issues with their work, prices or service, it's always awesome.

that doesn't sound like clutch, if it was clutch revs would increase dramatically with no rise in KPH

On full launch, 4-5krpm, the car revs but doesnt seem to transfer the power to the drive train. after a few seconds or so, then only it'll kick in.

sometimes it'll rev at a, 3krpm, and speed will remain constant then only pick up.

This does sound like clutch though, so I guess you are doing the right thing by changing it but it may be something else. Only one way to find out I suppose

Just to update, brought my car to Darby's and he did a TOP JOB.

Didn't actually have to swap my clutch, but he put in all the parts I got.

New clutch, new seals, nismo pivot joint, brake and clutch flush.

When he stripped everything down, he found a problem with my servo. Apparently the bearings were smashed, hence causing the clutch not to bite at times. This was the root cause of the "slippage".

After $1.2k, I'm a happy camper. Not so happy when the credit card bill comes.

its just turbo lag so some other cars have a chance!

if your launching at 4500rpm is a single HD strong enough? perhaps twin plate would have been better

ie baby it around until you can afford tiwn place. would be ashame to see you fry this one in a short time and have to replace again
