Ok so my clutch has been slipping when hitting boost, thought it was the clutch, but then my mate drove and pumped the clutch a few times and it didn't slip, checked clutch fluid and it's black, figured I'd change the clutch fluid n see if that fixes the problem ( according to old owner who is a good mate, the clutch is almost new, n it shouldn't be stuffed) so my question is, what clutch fluid do u get, n how much, where do you get it from etc, it's not a stock clutch, does that matter what fluid I use? It's not the slave cylinder I don't think, still full of fluid and not leaking etc. But the fluid is black, I figured I'd go the cheapest solution first and see how I go. The car is an r33 gtst series 2, making 220kw if that helps.

Whatever you use for brake fluid. Top quality stuff is not expensive e.g. Motul RBF600. Check in front of the clutch pedal and on the firewall sto see if the m/c is leaking. May need new seals. But lack of hydraulics shouldn't cause the clutch to slip - rather the opposite - hard to get into gear without graunching.

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
