Okay, so basically when I change from first to second gear (like a grandma), and then let the clutch out...it makes a big thump probably 1/4 of the way up. the change to 3rd and 4th is less noticeable.

CLIFFS:

When i try to release the clutch (if i dont go incredibly slow) it makes a loud THUMP noise.

Does this mean the clutch is slipping?

What sort of clutch? Could be play in your driveline somewhere.

It is a stock clutch. Someone on silvia forums thinks it is because "the dual mass flywheel would have f**ked springs, causing the second mass to move and clunk"

I wish people on car forums actually helped.

Everyone on this forum is helpful, we are a community of car lovers and more so skyline lovers... Now I'll be brutally honest here, I

Don't know you, never dealt with you, but I HAVE heard of you.... I am a local guy like you, but you managed to upset a LOT, I can only assume u were a dick at some stage... I think you got banned yes?

Now, I'm not here to judge you... I am one of the guys you will meet soon, I suggest you bring the car and I'll have a look for you... OR if you can't drive it show me the car and I'll drive it and let you know.... E mechanics is near possible with the info you supplied, your knowledge of cars may be limited but you will learn in time...

Don't pick on the forum, evaluate yourself... And PM me if you have any issues with anything said...

I gave you a possible cause and you listed another. Skylines don't have dual mass flywheels so not everyone here will have experience with them

If that's how your gonna act I'm sorry I tried to help in the first place. Seems you didnt even bother looking at any play in the driveline

And if there's a possibility that its the dual mass flywheel why aren't you looking into that. Its a Sylvia not a skyline so don't get the $hits when a Sylvia forum has listed a possible issue and no one on here has.

He's just trolling you guys.

Don't bother helping him.

He probably doesn't even have a problem, just making up something to troll with.

OT.

Go to a Silvia Forum and ask them.

Better yet, take it to a mechanic.

I appreciated your response, but you were the only person who bothered answering, and I dont know how to check for play in the driveline.

I can't find a mechanic for the S15 anyway, no one seems interested around here or seem familiar with s15's. If it was a v8 commodore etc id have no worries finding a mechanic.

So yeah, not going to waste money taking it to mechanics when they will just rip me off.

Reap what you sow motherf**ker. If you kill a man 1-2 years ago that don't mean your past ain't gonna catch up to you when you don't want it to.

Hi Benji,

It doesn't sound like your clutch is slipping rather something is worn. I'd suggest checking the tailshaft centre bearing.

Regards,

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
