A friend of mine has a r32 GTST with a 3inch exhaust, mines ecu, running 10psi and a few other minor engine mods. He is experiencing a problem where under acceleration in 4th gear the clutch seems to slip. I have driven a fair few cars with slipping clutches in my time but generally they will slip in the lower gears moreso than in the higher gears. This car only seems to do it in 4th and occasionaly 3rd. The problem is intermittent as well and does not occur all the time.

If a clutch is the problem does anyone have any advice on a suitable clutch for someone with the above mods and someone who does drive the car quite hard occasionally. The guy doesnt want to spend to much on a clutch. (a $2000 clutch is way out of the question).

Can anyone tell me some prices/part numbers for the respective clutches available for an r32 gtst?

why exactly would he send it to QLD when he lives in Sydney?!??

i'm confused...

Lots of people sell heavy duty single plate clutches... Just Jap, UAS etc etc etc ....

The problem could easily appear intermittent but will get worse... Maunal transmissions usually slip in higher gears when the load on the box and clutch is greater.

I have never bought a clutch from Just Jap, UAS etc etc etc .... so why would I personally reccomend a company that I haven't dealt with and seen the result of a well built custom clutch, heck you can buy a heavy duty clutch from REPCO so why not buy it from there. I suggested DCS becaus they make the best clutches in Australia....period. Its one of those things, you get what you pay for now and in the future.

    • Quick update team , while I was getting the water pump replaced to got the Red Alpha Cold Air Intakes installed . Sourced from, Just Japanese in Sydney if anyone if looking at them for their RV37. It was a direct fit no issues , it took about 2 hours , with the instructions provided my AMS Performance - Link Below https://www.amsperformance.com/product/ams-performance-infiniti-q50-q60-red-alpha-carbon-fiber-cold-air-intake-kit/ 
    • You need to jam something inside it to stop it collapsing. A washer, a spacer, a something. Needs to stay up at the fully pumped up height. I still say you can measure centrelines with a collapsed hydro lifter. Whatever max lift is will be max lift regardless of the state of the lifter.
    • Yeah, I've been watching him since the first 4 posts all arrived.
    • Quick update Guys , managed to get the water pump replaced . I first my mechanic went back and forth with Nissan AU (4 weeks) and they weren't much help, at the end they noted something about not supporting imports. So I soured the part myself from Japan. If anyone has similar issue here is the part numbers  Genuine Nissan PUMP ASSY-WATER - 21010-4HK0E Genuine Nissan Gasket - 21014-4HK0A  Cost me about $230 including shipping (I had in within 10 days thanks to Blackhawk in Japan)  They are basically the same as the Red Sport or even the new Zed - here is link to a supplier in US who helped me confirm the parts matched  https://www.z1motorsports.com/water-pump-fan-and-thermostat/nissan/oem-14-20-vr30ddtt-water-pump-p-10167.html You can change it yourself if you like , but I had my local workshop do it , it was about 5 hours of labour.  Cheers  Pac
    • +1 for these guys, they just made me a custom muffler for another car (old Merc V8 not a Skyline) and they are legends to work with and do very nice work at a reasonable price.
