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

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
