gday done a search and theres been alot about clutches slipping, but just wondering about my situation, normal driving not alot of boost clutch is fine doesnt play up, even when i rev it to like 4-5 without alot of boost it wont do anything just when full boost is there and i push the clutch in like the revs go up a lil like 300-500rpm is that slipping, i think it is but this is my first manual so im not 100% just would like some feed back, car is series 1 r33 standard clutch not making much power atm thanks alot

Hi Charlie.

I had a problem with my clutch not too long ago... I found that it was slipping when it came close to peak power, which started around 5,000RPM.... What happened was when I shifted from 2nd-3rd, redlining, the car would sit around 5,500rpm after shifting, and you would feel like ur rolling the same speed, but the revs still went up, but then the clutch eventually grabbed, and pulled car all the way to the end...

Thats basically when I knew my clutch was slipping. I just put in a heavy duty 6 puck clutch from Autosport @ Kirrawee (sydney) and now there is no more slippage :( 65% clamp load over standard :)

A good indication test of clutch slippage is to load the clutch up.

Say drive a moderately steep hill in 4th gear and if it the car starts free revving you know your clutch is shot. Drive up the hill at between 2 and 4k rpm is all you need.

Cheers.

thanx mr_g ye mines usually from second to third, how much do workshops usually charge to change clutches, and when you change the clutch what else must /should be changed while its already opened down there?

Usually you might want to lightly machine your flywheel when you do the clutch,as it could be slightly rippled from wear & tear of your current clutch. Fitment is usually around $300 I think.... Not too sure, but Autosport @ Kirrawee did a pretty good job for me.. Clutch hasnt slipped since i put it in 2 weeks ago... Awesome clutch!

Jimbo, forgot to mention, the above price included machining the flywheel.

How bad can a slipping clutch be?

I went to drift practice on the weekend and completelly @$ed up my clutch, It doesn't grab in any gear, I don't know how I got back home. You rev it and it goes right up and the car barelly moves.

Do you think it could be something else apart from the clutch or is it just that?

Im gonna get it checked on Thursday or Friday but any comments would be appreciated.

Picked up my Skyline on Friday afternoon which had just had a few mods done to it. More specifically, enough mods to take it from stock power to 240rwkw.

Went I sent it down there, I knew the clutch was not in the best condition. When I got it back, it would not boost in any gear except 1st and 2nd and like someone previously mentioned, you would floor it... revs would jump up but then at about 5k it would grab on and then pull the car to redline.

So it would slip, then grab. 2 hours after picking it up, the car wouldn't grab at all and I had to get it towed. Getting a heavy duty pressure plate installed this week though. Hopefully enough to keep me happy until I upgrade the whole thing :)

what sort of power you running? 202.2RWKW

how does it feel to drive? Awesome to drive, no slippage... When i shift down, its faster on slowing down aswell, as it grabs alot better... Sometimes slowing down at high speeds going from 3rd to 2nd, you get abit of compression lock up...

is it on/off or can you ride it a bit? Its basically on or off :rofl: You can try ride it, it wont let u that much, haha... You spin wheels trying to park it

it it insanely hard on your leg? Nope.... Not too bad actually, its not that much heavier over standard, however I havent really driven it through heavy traffic yet, but it seems to be doing fine.

Hope that helps :D

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
