Hey

at a track day today with my GTR, its a 32 with 303 awkw and a twin plate carbon clutch pretty much brand new!,

the problem i am having is coming out ouf corners the engine flars for quite a long time until it bites then it accelerates. it seems like the cluth is slipping but i find this impossible with a new clutch, could it be the transfer case, rear diff? The tourque split only goes up to around ten..this one has me stumped!

THanks

Josh

yeah need more info . what diff is in the back ? it could be one wheeling and you dont know so it acts like clutch slip then when you on the straight it hooks up both

well come out of the corner at 5000 rpm - boot it - spikes to just near the limiter all through the corner - once its straightish gains traction revs drop a bit then hit the limiter as it fish tails down the straight.....

yeah it could genuinely be just the inside wheel spinning, especially if the diff is a bit tired.

more likely a problem with the clutch install. is the pedal/master cylinder adjusted OK (ie is it all the way out when out, check at the slave cylinder)? Often the pedal is adjusted to deal with wear and new clutch means it has to be adjusted back to normal. Or does your clutch need a different/not standard thrust bearing?

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
