another clutch question...

[Bleach1]

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?

Send it to DCS (Direct Clutch Services) in Brisbane QLD they do a heavy duty rebuild fairly cheap and it is very user friendly. I and my mates have had numerous clutches from these guys and they grip well for a long time.

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.
