Clutch Issue Gtr

Hey guys I just dropped the engine back into the R32 GTR.

While it was out I had a look at the clutch and it seemed to have some meat on it but not heaps; maybe 1mm of depth in the organic material. Looked like a factory pressure plate but the clutch disc had Exedy written on it.

I pulled the boost restricter and boost climbed just past +7 on the factory gauge which I believe is around 13psi or so.

Now the clutch slips in 3rd or higher when boost hits. (factory snails)

This was my first ever clutch job, is there something I could have done wrong? I'm just wondering if there was something I could have missed before I go and fit a new clutch.

Also I really don't want to drop the gearbox out on my garage floor does anybody know someone for a cheap clutch job in Sydney? I can supply another flywheel that has been freshly machined so it will just be a straightforward swap.

Thanks in advance.

Also I'm wondering if anyone has used those "Xtreme" clutch kits before. There's one from hioctane for like $300 and a cushioned button kit for like $450 does anyone know what they're like? Keep in mind it's a stock turbo setup; I'm about to google it anyway

okay damn. that's what I feared. I have seen truely worn out clutches and thought this one would be okay. My mistake, now I'll pay for it.

I have been quoted $500 from a guy in smithfield called Rob Nguyen; that's a good price for labour right?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
