hey guys,

i did a quick search but couldnt really find what i was after. i just picked up my r32 gtr from the compliance worshop today, clutch feels quite heave and harder to use then the standard in my r33 gtst so thinking twin-plate? anyway my problem is if im in 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th gear just driving normaly and i accelerate (not putting my foot to the floor just normal throtle push) it just revs from 2000-4000+ rpm and the speed doesnt seem to go up so can anyone shed some light on this? ive spoken to a few people and they seem to think the cars been sitting round for a bit and hasnt been driven so thats why its like this or its f***ed?

any help would be appreciated cheers

Engine speed increases whilst vehicle speed stays the same = broken link in drivetrain. If you know what wheelspin feels like then I would harbour a guess it's your clutch slipping :)

Clutch slip is most noticeable on boost which comes in around where you dictate this problem occurring - will only get worse until the point where you have no drive.

    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
    • thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...
    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
