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.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.

      As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers.

      Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
