okkkkkk big dramas with my car!!!!! need an idea of whats happened i thort i knew but here goes..

b4 i begin some info on my car.

its an 89 model gtst completely stock when i got it never modded with 75,000km

i have boosted her to 12psi, 3 and a half inch exhaust all the way, and a blow off

welll about the dramas, they started about 3-4 months ago? my friend was driving my car without me in it, he pulled up to a set of lights put the car in second, forgot it was in second then tried to rack it up revved her upto some rediculous amount and dumped it and rode the clutch like a bitch nigga, any way he smelt the clutch hard and then it got stuck in gear or something? then wouldnt go back into gear any ways, he pumped the clutch a few times and kinda went back to normal, she drove alright for a lil while but then one night she just started going, slipping like crazy, and could smell the clutch burning heaps, kept slipping more and more till she couldnt slip no more and couldnt get up hills and then couldnt get off any where.

now what happens, i turn her on, by touching her ignition;) :PP yurr and put her into gear but she dosnt go any where, pull the clutch out dosnt move, just sits der dosnt stall, i can change gears with out pushin in the clutch pedal asif the clutch is in?!!! and i can hear the gearbox clicking like it would normally, the clutch im guessing is the stock one from when it was made, same as the box, any one ever have anything similar happen or know whats going on? some one told me if the clutch was completely gone it wouldnt go into gear?

help pls i wanna fix it and i dun wanna do anything till i know what sure is wrong and i wanna avoid towing her around every where to get it checked out!

no it does go into gear, i know a bit about cars, but i havnt had that much experience, iv had a clutch slip on me b4 and shit. what happens now is it goes into gear fine even without the clutch in, too me it feels like the clutch could be stuck on? i dont think the gears are gone because it was slipping and started slipping more and more in one night and then just didnt go no more

while trying to feather her back home the car was just revving upto whatever revs and moving like a slug and slipping heaps and i could smell the clutch really bad

i leant ma car to my ex gf's bro dat day and when it came back that was what happened he reckoned it just started going and he wasnt ****ing about, his older bro also had the same story

Well thinking about it logically. If the clutch is no longer engaging properly, then the car may be acting as though the clutch pedal is permanently depressed. Can you roll the car with it in gear, eg try pushing it whilst in gear.

It's obviously something to do with the clutch....get it on a tow truck and take it to a reputed import garage close to where you live. Either way its going to cost some dollars to repair.

The stocko organic clutches are pretty weak....and considering the age of your car it may not have taken to kindly to a 12psi boost setting.

Grab a single plate Heavy Duty ceramic clutch to replace it or if you don't have the cash, source a stocko replacement.

Good luck mate.

u'll need to be more specific and clearer with your language..

but from what i can gather... it seems like your clutch is

a) gone

B) the clutch fork (?) has come loose. the thing that engages the clutch.. not sure, it happened

to a mate of mine.

if i can roll it while in gear what does this mean? im gonna go try

3 things

a) your clutch plate is COMPLETLY burnt out and stuffed

B) there is a problem with your clutch hydralics leaving the clutch jammed on

c) the clutch fork has half-come off the pins, and has jammed in place

check b/c by getting under the car and looking at the clutch fork/slave cylinder and see if there is any pressure on the clutch fork, with your foot NOT on the clutch there shouldnt be any "real" pressure. get someone to press the clutch pedal in the car and see if the fork/slave cylinder rod moves

my money is on (a) thou

if u got no fluid

when u get under the car u will find that the piston has poped out of the bore of the slave cylinder

and that the clutch fork has come loose (there is a 90% chance this happened also, ull need to pull the box to fix it)

u may think this is speculation but ull see im right when u get under the car and look

    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
