Hey guys i recently upgraded turbos to gt2560s of the -5 variant and have got a rather light tune to get me 300kw atw. I tried maxing out 1st gear, full throttle and its all good, then when i shift to 2nd, the clutch seems to slip all the way to redline. I havent shifting to 3rd yet. Is it normal for clutches to work like normal and not slip unless ur going all out? What i find strange is that everything is fine except for when i shift to 2nd. =/

Thanks in advance

Yeah, a clutch slipping is normal.

but only when you have your foot on the pedal to reduce plate pressure. It kinda helps with changing gears, you know.

are you dropping the clutch? once in the wet with attesa off I dropped it into 3rd (@50 kph). Didn't know why everything was different (engine revs going up, no wheelspin) for a few seconds... and then panic mode.

Either way, it sounds to me like you need a new clutch - one that suits your style of driving.

how old is the clutch? It could just be getting a little old and worn. I would have thought it could handle the power.

oh - and the 1 -> 2 shift is usually the hardest shift. slowest speed and biggest ratio gap.

    • Tried them, they leaked. I also foolishly bought some random rubber ones that leaked too.  Genuine and not looked back.    As always though sample size of one, and I could have made a mistake installing them. 
    • Technically still manual process to set it first time though
    • Shit job but not hard. I'd use a piece of wood to knock the plastic lid open to avoid damaging it, use a vacuum to clean up the fuel sender lid also so crap doesn't fall in. I'd probably do pump and filter at the same time since you're already in there, I reused my OEM sock after a quick clean since the one provided wasn't long enough. Could also hardwire your pump if you feel inclined.
    • Supercheap auto sell this: https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/pat-plusquip-fuel-tank-lock-ring-tool---universal-kit/SPO3564082.html I own this and if you HAVE PATIENCE you can remove it without snapping lines and generally being incredibly angry, then said at doing this job. Sadly I've removed the pump about 75,000 times over the years. I don't know if you're a large lad or a smaller lad but my advice to you as someone who is 185cm is if you are my height or smaller, is to sit in the boot and take your time. Yes you can put the seal on. The seal goes over the white thing/lid (you will see how it 'slots' in) then the whole assembly presses into the tank. then you screw the lock ring on. I spent so much time doing things the wrong way by trying to mount the seal into the tank first, then putting the white fuel hat on in the space provided. Put it together first then it'll all go in. But seriously be careful about removing the hoses AND where the removal tool is moving relative to the plastic pipes coming out of the lid when you've removed it. IT IS BRITTLE So brittle in fact I have two spare lids, and would recommend buying a spare and having it handy before attempting to do this. May as well throw https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD in the tank as well, as this uses all stock plugs and such. You may need to/strongly recommend you re-use your OEM fuel sock or use the one supplied with a length of hose so it sits at the stock height.
    • The tension is automatic....if you follow the installation instructions Self adjusting tensioners are used when the chain/belt is expected to stretch during it's service life, but the downside is the tensioner itself can fail and cause a problem, while the RB system is locked once it is installed and doesn't have that risk
