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?

      HK Premier with plans for slight mods, but keeping clean and simple

      By Christof · Posted

      First time visitor and currently getting ready to start work on my HK Premier.  Its all stock, 186 with 3 on the tree.  The only mod i have right now is extractors.  I am hoping to get some guidance on slightly modifying the engine to bring a little more power. Just going for a nice, comfortable cruiser.  The car is very straight, however i have been out of the country for 20 years and its been gathering dust at a family farm.  Will be doing quite a bit of body work to cut out some small rust areas (frnt quarter panels and a few other small bits) and fix up the paint.  Will be redoing the interior (its currently black and the seats are in real need of recovering and respringing the driver side (its front bench seat).  The dash needs a little TLC, but no real damage.  As my heater has degraded I am considering fitting something after-market that will be both heater/AC (recommendations here are always welcome). Wanting something discrete that will allow me to use the same controls and not be obvious once inside the car.   For the engine, i have been told i could consider upgrading my cam (imagine i would need a new head as well) and putting a new carby (currently the original stromberg).  However not sure what is going to be the best route.  Would certainly welcome any comments/suggestions.  As  a final step I am looking at changing the wheels. Current hubcaps are in dire need of refurbishment or replacement (imagine its a bit like hens teeth).  Thinking of some clean/classic looking mags (7-inch should be more than enough - not going for a large change in look).  Welcome any comments/advice and of course any questions.

      I got the ARC M079 due to the space constraint.  Been running mint for the last 3 years.  Plazmaman also seems like a really solid choice but not used myself.    Hunt around for a better price but this is what I have - https://www.rhdjapan.com/arc-brazing-intercooler-smic-m079-bnr32.html

      Wanted to follow up on this. Did you end up getting the M073? Still deciding on what to get between nismo m073-79 and plazaman.
