Hey Guys,

When I put the clutch to friction point and the car begins to move without accelerating the car begins to shutter and you can feel it underneath the car.

It usually happens when the car is cold and warming up. Its not a problem because the car drives perfect all the time just abit strange that the car has this shutter which seems to be either the clutch or the gearbox.

Was just wondering if any members have encountered something like this with their cars and see if they have found a fix.

Look forward to hear your thoughts and opinions

Sounds like clutch to me. The wifes EH is doing it atm(I know its an excellent comparison) and I hope it doesnt get any worse as it has on her car only when going to take off. I was told its the clutch by my mechanic.

How olds your clutch and do u give it a workout.

Bloody clutches !!!!!!! my twin plate is starting to make funny noises too......

does it feel like the car is wobbling side to side?

I had similar problem with my old factory clutch. Had a new clutch put in + flywheel machined etc and it disappeared

I think its related to an unbalanced flywheel but i could be wrong..

I dont think my clutch has been changed since the car was new. So I have a 96 model so that 12 years!!

Not to bad.

I treat the car pretty well I dont thrash it or anything.

May just get myself a heavy duty organic if I ever decide to modify my car in the future. Pretty stock at the moment except for an exhaust but may just do a couple things to get a bit more power.

Probs do a compression test first to see if the 102,000km engine can handle some extra grunt dont want to blow the engine.

Im sure a compression test will show all is good :blush: .

As long as you have a good tuner the old girl will take a licking and keep on ticking.

I have a mate with over 400rwhp(Garrett 35/40) on a stock motor and has been running his setup for almost two years now without a problem. He always get his tuned by Matty SPRY from PITTS though who is a pretty well renowned tuner though.

Oh and thats with a powerfc :P .

Get a heavy duty clutch and the flywheel machined and then u will be set for any future mods.

I am having a very similiar problem at the moment. If the shutter is there when you take off and then goes away it is most likely your Center bearing. We are changing mine this week. Put it on the hoise yesterday and you could move it around. There was no tention on it at all. Hope this helps

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
