take it to a workshop and speak to a good tuner ie boostworx or willall......they can give you some very handy advice......also they prob have come across a prob like this and would be able to tell you straight away rather then us trying to trouble shoot over the interwebz

sorry if i sounded a bit harsh mate.....didnt mean to come across that way.....but your way better off speaking to a good tuner rather then get some info from us.....in saying that no harm in asking tho...hope you get it sorted out mate

yeah Krishy is right only so much we can diagnose and its all guessing anyways :thumbsup:

but when i saw 100,000k old clutch i though oh boy prolly time for a new one

nar your all good mate thank 4 the help

check that he hasnt put thicker oil in to shut it up

agree, crunchy synchos , try swapping out the oil in the gearbox, with some "Redline" brand oil. not shockproof but MTL (or suitable weight)

it will make your box like butter in the cold weather compared to the factory goop

shockproof (smirf blood is too slick for syncro meshing to work)

it will also bring the temps down on the tranny in hot weather drastically, I can get a group buy price on it if we can get a decent order ? I've used it for 20 years without drama in any car

if not then try the clutch spigot bearing , and disk, springs in the hub

a worn bushing on the throwout fork can create too much free play for clean disengagement as well

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
