need help on my skyline

[elbs32]

anyone that could help would be great

I have an R32 gtst

Sometimes when I give it to it, the car it tends to hold back at round 5000

rpms like it's not going anywhere or that something is blocking it.

I do not know why this is happening it feels like it's strugling.

Iam not sure if it's the turbo or maybe I need a bigger fuel pump or if there not enough air coming in through the air filter or to the intercooler.

anyone have any ideas on what it could be or whats wrong.

Thanks elbs32

sounds like the clutch to me dude???

[jetgts]

is it in standard form?

have you changed anything recently?

Like any recent maintenance or mods?

I'm not sure about the clutch being a problem. When mine went I could really feel it was slipping. ie. revving and the car going nowhere.

May be something to do with boost problems, and you say it only happens sometimes...

Really need more background for some of us to help

my bet is that you need to raise your base timing to 20 degrees before top dead centre, either that or check your sparkies to make sure they're gapped correctly.

Its misfiring. Do a search. There are a few causes and its a common problem.

misfiring.. restrictive exhaust .. flatspot due to running too rich at that point without aftermarket management (how much boost you runing?), boost leak, timing, dirty plugs, slipping clutch (unlikely), stuffed something or other.. as you can tell its a bit hard to tell over the Internet.

no possible way it could be a slipping clutch. if it were to slip ar 5000 revs then the revs would then jump to redline very quickly without the car going any faster.
