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?

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

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:

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

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

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)

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.

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
