Gtr Feels Like It Loses Power When Hitting Boost?

[gtrzilla]

in my 32 gtr

when i hit boost say 3000 - 3500 or so rpm the car feels like it goes slower

revs jump up but you actually feel like you lose power!

im thinking it may be a clutch slipping

does anyone have any ideas or had the same problem

[stolen_s15]

Sounds like clutch slip to me mate.

If the revs are rising but no power, then it catches all of a sudden, thats clutch slip.

Sure, if your driving, and hit peak tourqe and the revs flare, but you aren't accelerating anymore (or minimally) then your clutch is prolly slipping. Does it re-grip later in the revs?

Get a mate to drive behind you, he should be able to smell the acrid smoke.

[gtrzilla]

it seems to re grip after

but i dont usually push it at the moment cos im not sure whats goin on

clutch slip for sure dude!

find level ground, apply hand brake, push clutch in and select 4th gear, let clutch out slowly.....if it stalls your clutch will last a little longer if your cruise round off boost, if it doesnt stall, she's a rooted!

When you replace the clutch, it would be worth getting a new rear main seal and your flywheel machined. The flywheel machining is critical as if you dont get it machined, you can get severe clutch shudder when taking off with the new clutch is installed.

^^^ No offence, but f_ck a flywheel skim, assuming your on a mission to mod (its a GTR) grab a twinplate and lightened f.wheel combo now, otherwise you'll just be trying to hock your newish OEM clutch and re-surfaced f.wheel in the for sale section down the road.

agree with GeeTR

Anything less than a twin plate in a GTR is silly

*waits for full monty fans to abuse* lol

[dmac_25]

Or he could just buy my lightend flywheel lol

[gtrzilla]

new exceedy clutch in and all better !!!

just had the fly machined

did the timing belt and all that at same time

so lets say i could just about add 2 g to my gtr purchase price

but now everything is freshened up

Na, he did the clutch and a 100k major service on the car at the same time, belts, fluids, water pump, filters etc
