Yo so i just got a cushioned button exedy or exidy clutch, meant to take 300kw

Anyways car is a stock gtr running 12psi-ish(so like has 200ish)

I can hear heaps of noise now coming from the gearbox, it used to always be dead quiet, whether i'm using clutch or not it's noisey, if i have it in 3rd and just cruising it's loudest (it used to be dead quiet) sounds like it's missing a baffle plate or smtn

+ it's hugely gutless now, it doesn't come onto boost very hard and doesn't increase in power after about 4k, it used to slam u right back till 7k

That last bit makes no sense to me, as the old clutch was slipping ( believe) and this one doesnt seem to be slipping (it'd rev out faster but go slower if it was slipping), revs just seem to take forever

Any suggestions?

GOnna take it back on monday but just wanna know it's not something bad ^^

Hey i have one of those clutches.. mine got pretty loud one day after a lot of launches sounded like alot of sound or something grinding up.. your suppose to run them in gently for 500kms before any harsh driving or high revv drops.. that may account for the noise as for the lack of power something definately sounds amiss.. you should probally try not to drive it until you can take it back on monday incase you damage something ... does it still drive smoothly.. and stuttering? is it still hitting the same boost? maybe the noise could possibly be another problem?

hope u get it sorted

Cheers

Nah i haven't revved it hard or dropped it, i've taken it to redline twice, he said it'd be fine to rev out just no drops or slam shifts.. the noise was there from when i started it pretty much

It still drives totally fine, and seems ok.. just the sound is hell loud and the power loss is massive up top, got it sitting in garage atm waiting for mondy :<

sucks cos now i cant affrd to go out this weekend and i got no car to drive around haha

the only noise my brass button makes is when u try to engage it at to low revvs, it makes a clunking noise other than that its lovely n silent.. definately sounds like they messed something up maybe apart of the clutch hitting on the puks.. im no clutch mechanic tho but it could account for the noise and power loss, they should of test driven it and noticed that, aswell as you should of gotten half way down the street turned around n taken it back

my cars left me broke, many of weekends.. the joys of driving a import lol

yeh so anyway it was the stupid clutch boot that sits underneath the shifter.. some spud had only put 3 bolts in it so one corner was sitting right up.. i took it for a drive with the mech and he wasnt sure, got it home and figured it out myself

But i still gotta figure out where i lost power, i'm guessing some wiring has been moved/messed up when they dropped the box out.. probably my afm's.. i got shitty luck with em

It's all smooth still, but the power is gone as well.. i've had this problem before but i cant remember how i fixed it.. i'm thinking some wiring or smtn got bumped when they pulled the box out..it's about as fast as my mates tx3 haha >< doesnt push u back at all, drives fine though, just realll slow.. gonna make a topic in forced induction to get some suggestions, farkn finally get the new clutch and the car ends up slower haha, i cant take it back to put it on the dyno yet either until the clutch has a few hundred k's on it

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
