look in the yellow pages or whathave u. Go to the gearbox section and ring afew places up. Or contact a performance joint in the area ask them.

[junkie13]

but does that sound like the clutch problem

[09ONE_32]

Umm possibly not. You really need to give a better description of what went on. did you just come out to drive it this morning and it wouldn't go? were you flogging it last nite and it made a bang and would't go? could possibly be a drive shaft/ tailshaft or input shaft from the gear box all of which would have made a bang if they broke.

tell us more dude, also from sig I'm guessing a GTR?

[junkie13]

ok this is what happen i try to test my clutch if it is slipping so i start on third gear and revved and i heard nothing and the car just revs and dont go anywhere so i pulled over to the side and put in gear and leave the clutch and it didnt stall so i try every gear and it didnt stall so i assume its not even in gear and it is the gtr

[09ONE_32]

hmm so it was driving fine before you stopped (at a set of lights) ?? and put it in third to take off? and it is a GTR?? more details dude. and by the way you should put it in 5th and let the clutch out to see if it is slipping. but really a slipping clutch on a car with any decent amount will easily be felt when it comes onto boost.

Thinking about it... is the clutch fluid full? did you get under the car and see if there is any fluid leaking? is there any kind of a smell? when the car is ideling put the clutch in and out, maybe in the garage or in a confined space so you can hear any different noises it makes while you do this.

It does sound like the clutch to me, This also happened to me in my old car. But i might be wrong.. Dont take my word for it and go changing your clutch :Oops: .

I feel for you dude.. Just picked up your car didnt you? Black smoke coming out and now having more problems... :goddam:

[DVS33T]

Ohhh, it wasnt you... Sorry my bad :Oops:

[junkie13]

which part is clutch fluid and yeh it had smeel since i bought it and there is no leakage as i can see it but i am getting it towed tommorrow since i need it but i just want to determined the probs first i guess thats what happen if you buy those 89 gtrs hope nothing else arise

[sweetr33]

do u have a clutch pedal at all? Ur cable could be broken? The throwout bearing used to get stuck with my old brass button when i got the car and i would have to stop on the side of the road. Way i would overcome it was, turn the car off put it in gear and start the car in gear so it jumps abit but then change gears once with no clutch and it went clunk and pops back into place, doesnt sound like ur prob but hey u never know. My clutch lasted for ages one it started slipping, so i find it odd to have it just fail without warning on u, maybe there is more to it. good luck in finding the prob

is there a special technic to drive a 4wd car and burn the clutch slower the guy who sold to me said i counldnt drive a 4wd car thats why burnt it out

[Craved]

ive never heard of a different way to drive a 4wd! only difference is that the clutch needs to be stronger to deal with more force resisting on the 4 wheels instead of 2.

[^pilotboy^]

only thing i can thing that it could be, that u blown the synchromeshing or the actual linkage to the gearbox, and no it doesnt sount like a clutch, cos if it was clutch the motor, you will hear it rev up and spool up but not move fast at all, so therefore im pretty sure its not the clutch but the box, u might wanna check that to, it happened to me in the laser, (yeah i know a laser is diff to a skyline, but after a 1 grand super single clutch, i knew it wasnt the clutch, and i blew the synchromeshing)

[^pilotboy^]

i just asked my dad then, he reckons its the pressure plate, he should know he replaced about 5 in a taxi within 2 years , so thats what he said... personally if it is smelling id replace the whole clutch unit

One of two things:

1. Broke the centre out of the clutch's driven plate.

2. Broke the input shaft to the gearbox.

Junkie, you still haven't made it very clear what went on prior to you getting no drive from the gearbox. If you were caning it, then we need to know stuff like that before we can make a diagnosis. It's like going to the doctor and simply saying "I feel crook in the guts". Doc can't very well diagnose what is causing it with a statement like that.
