Hey guys, I have a strange problem going on intermittently.

Sometimes if I shift from 1st to 2nd under hard load it seems like the clutch slips and the revs build up fast.

However i tried doing some 5th gear pulls up a steep hill and a little clutch kick, No slip! Just grips and pulls.

Its pissing me off! I thought it could be my diff single spinning, but I'm not convinced anymore as it also does it in a straight line too.

Car is a R34 GTT. Basically stock, stock clutch.

If it is clutch, Looking at buying this clutch bellow (cheap), Can anyone identify it?

Reason, R34 pull type clutches are expensive. Lol. This i think is a brass button?

Thanks for your help guys.

How many kms on the clutch etc? Its most likely going to be a clutch issue unless you seriously cant tell if its wheel spinning? :unsure:

Mine failed fairly early on with only 199rwkw or something....

Dont skimp on a clutch, Dont buy a second hand clutch or one in unknown condition.

There is a clutch thread for R34's with some good advice, i'd be looking into that!

Thanks mate, Yea the car has 97000 on the clock.

I will hunt down this clutch thread you speak of =) thanks.

I know the wheel spin thing sound silly, but from 1st to 2nd you would expect wheel spin anyway so it makes it hard for me to figure it out. Which was why i tried the 5th gear pull, I thought it would slip up a hill under that much load. Maybe not?

Just did my clutch and found nismo lightweight flywheel in perfect nick and coppermix setup a nice suprise after buying a new alloy flywheel and clutch lol wasnt dead if anyone wants it cheap

Mate send madaz a pm he got mine cheaper and service was fantastic for gtt

do the gearbox gaskets front and rear tranny and spigot , rear main seal at the same time , preventive

Did the nismo braided line too little bugger to bleed lol

Mine only has 88,000 easy k's and the seals were drying a fair bit

    • 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.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
