I'm getting a really weird smell when I drive. I hope its the clutch but am not to sure It's hard to describe but tthe smell really reaks. I can smell it in the cabin and outside. its a weird smell though.

I cant really notice any slipping but i could be as the performance has felt pretty avergae lately.

Any ideas what it could be?

help!

check yr brakes aren't glowing, could be a jammed on mc, but more likely to be a clutch.

A cat [furry type] thats crawled up under yr car and is cooking on the exhaust.

Does it smell like mums sunday roast?????...................lol

Also check yr grommets at the firewall, you could be leaking water in under yr carpet [mine was like that when I bought it, idiots had sliced open the grommets to run extra wires, and then didn't seal them up again.

Thanks,

I had the brakes done a while ago. Some green colored kevlar, cant quite remember the name. But ever since they have been squeeling really bad. I thought they would wear in but they havn't. The only problem with that idea is that the smell has only been in the last week or so and the brakes have been in for months.

also if it is the clutch should I get the exedy HD patrol clutch?

I have heard conflicting reports (yes i have done the forum search and read the posts) and most people say that it good and others are concerned that it would be rooted after a few high rpm launches.

What are some other cheapish clutch alternatives that would suit my car, 3" zorst, FMIC, 10-12 psi boost controller.

Hoping to get around 200rwkw eventually.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
