Hey all, I noticed today that when Im idling sometimes, it sits about 800 900 rpms, when I push the clutch in in neutral, nothing happens, but when I push it into any gear while still holding the clutch fully in, the revs drop to about 500 - 550 rpms. Are the revs supposed to drop when the clutch is fully in? the car does not pull forward at all so it doesnt appear to be grabbing, so yeah, is that normal?

Oh yer , its a r33 gts-t

cheers.

That behavior sounds abnormal...do you hear any other sounds?

If you release your foot off the brake does the car hold it position / move forward ? Ie. is it any different to neutral?

Car stays in position, doesnt move at all on flat ground with the brake off.

Doesnt crunch in any gear or reverse either.

Tried it again this afternoon and it was'nt doing it anymore, my line might have a couple of intermittent gremlins.

I forgot to mention, its probably unrelated but it sometimes crunches a little when going into 5th gear - probably once a week.

Do it grind 5th when you are doing irregularly fast speeds?

It does it regardless of speed and revs, even if I shift slowly into 5th it will sometimes grind a bit then go in,( with clutch all the way in)

Hmmm it sounds a bit weird. Does it idle hunt when you turn the AC?

I sometimes get the 5th gear cruch too.. but thats only if im boosting hard, and i havent pushed the clutch in fully. oops. :)

If you have the clutch fully in, and you put her into 5th slow, and it still cruches, maybe your clutch needs bleeding/adjusting, thats what i did to mine, except it only happened in reverse sometimes.

|| I thought It was me not pushing the clutch in too, but I double checked when the pedal has been fully to the floor and still done it.

Idle is fine with the A/C, I might try bleeding the clutch, although it seems ok, I had to adjust the pedal when i first got the car as the previous owner had it going all the way to the floor to engage the clutch, i adjusted it so it is about half way, the clutch is about 6 months old, previous owner had the flywheel machined, heavy duty organic clutch installed.

Could it be just due for a fluid change? I hav'nt looked at the gearbox oil yet ( got the car last month - bad of me I know)

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
