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.

      The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change

      Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down.

      The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
