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.

      Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 🐕, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 🫡, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 🤣) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy
