Yeah pretty much what i thought looks discoloured prob due to heat, if the clutch has been treated hard it wasn't from me (previous owner) only strange thing I noticed was there would be a shudder pretty much every time I take off from a standstill no matter how I would let the clutch out be it riding it or gentle throttle or rev n dump always a momentary shudder I just assumed it was in the diff. Anyways thanks for the replies guys heads at the machine shop so I'll give it to him to machine the surface and convince the misses a nismo Coppermix is the only solution to this problem.

The heat has probably just altered the material on the clutch plate a bit so it doesnt grip quite as well. No big deal seen as you know where to go from here. Consider an NPC clutch and flywheel as they are both great products. The clutch you have now looks like its only a 9.5", you can go NPC 10" which means it will handle the power and still be relatively soft pedal feel.

Had this car had the clutch replaced not too long ago?

Flywheel appears to have fresh grinding marks on the area not exposed to the driven plate.

The marks look like the wheel wasn't machined on a lathe, it was done of a surface grinder and I haven't seen a wheel done by that method for a long time.

May explain your jumpy clutch.

My clutch is never done on a lathe, and I dont know anyone who does this with a lathe

Forget the name of the machine mine is done with but you end up with what look like big swirls through it but I have never had a clutch problem. It's the proper machine for doing it

Well apparently rebuilt box and new clutch about a year before I bought it. I've been lucky to have put 5k kms on it But who really knows. I thought buying a nice clean stock car would mean leaving it alone so I can play with the other car but all it's done is make he garage look even busier. Thanks for the replys guys.

Here's a pic of plate and clutch for interests sakepost-3493-14020214248945_thumb.jpgpost-3493-14020214497259_thumb.jpg

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
