Can someone help me. I dont really know whats wrong with my R32 Gts-t.

I was just driving today and as i was accelerating the car was just revving in gear, as if it was in neutral. This is what i suspect it might be:

- The clutch, it smells like something is burning.

- I was suspecting it may be the gearbox fluid straight after its service.

I can drive the car but it accelerates so slow, as if its not in gear. It happened tonight and i had just got it serviced today at repco. it was driving fine until tonight. Also the HICAS light comes up when driving sometimes, does it have something to do with it?

Please someone help.

Cheers

clutch? gears?

u will have to be more specific with the detail.

Im sorry hey, i dont really know much about cars. But all I know is that its like the car is not getting into gear properly. So basically when I try to try it moves very slowly and you car hear the car revving and getting no where.

I hope its not something big. Would this happen if the gearbox oil was low?

Cheers

ok, thanks 34mspec. got it at the mechanics the other day and he reckons the clutch has been burnt out...which explains the smell.

So yeah he is going to give me prices on clutches available; standard, heavy duty or racing. Would anyone out there know a rough cost on these clutches?

Also do you think that the previous owner of the car may have been thrashing the skyline, hence a burnt out clutch? Or because being a 15 yr old car & turbo it would be due for a new one. I have only owned it for a month and havent really thrashed it nor do i plan to.

Cheers

Mine is starting to do this aswell, but only under heavy load (like when accelerating from 70-100km/h on the fwy). I think ill just try to get away with it for a while longer until i can afford a new clutch.

For your info my car has never had any boost increase, so im pretty sure its just the 15 year old clutch (at least in my case)

I had to refit my stock clutch this weekend as the diaphram on my twin plate snapped in half, and it is very happy holding 200rwkw. This is a 140 000km old clutch too by the way, with original plate and no machining.

I am picking up a new xtreme 1060 pressure plate and 9(?) puck plate for 750 bucks as the twin needs a full rebuild due to the buggered diaphram and worn plates ($1200) and i am a bit sick of it for daily driving.

If money is a bit tight you can have your stock pressure plate recoed with a heavier diaphram and a button clutch for less than 350 bucks if you look around. But the you have to rip out the box to replace it :P

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
