hey guys, ive got a r33 gtst with 200rwkw. ive put a xtreme 9 puk cushioned ceramic clutch in less than a month ago and ive just been kind of taking it easy for the first couple of weeks and today ( a pretty hot day 35+ degrees could have something to do with it but still shouldnt happen) i gave a bit of a squirt and the revs flew up and the car didnt move.

I also notice that the catching point on the clutch was abit higher than normal, i thought this was unusual but just tried to get used to it. is it normal for it to be a bit high?

any help or experiences would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

7yphon - when does yours make a noise? i can hear a sound when the car is still and i engage and disengage the clutch but i think thats about it.

wrxhoon - there is very little free play compared to my old clutch and other cars ive driven. its funny i think the clutch is more vulnerable to slip when the weather is hotter, i drove it 2 minutes ago and the temperature is much lower than before and its not slipping the way it was before.

thanks heaps for the help fellas. would it be hard for me to adjust it myself?

I'd take it back and ask...no demand a new clutch be fitted and adjusted correctly. Reason being if it's been slipping (due to a poor install/adjustment) it's now worn more than it should be under normal operation and I wouldn't find that acceptable nor should you.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
