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.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
