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

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.

Racepace are good but are mighty costly
Racepace mate, they specialise in GTR's and are a little pricey but do awesome work.

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

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 :sick:

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.

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

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By sinn3r · Posted

      perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
