so driving down the highway, knock it back to third to over take and the revs go up but no acceleration... It seems fine to take off with, but i can make it slip by putting the foot down, anyone know how long it takes to go from this to not being able to move the car at all?

also There's a noise coming from the clutch somtimes when i engage or disengage it, I think this is a thrust bearing noise, but I'm no mechanic... does anyone know if this noise could have somthing to do with the clutch slipping?

Cheers in Advance :cool:

It does sound like your clutch is slipping. If you treat it right it'll probably last you long enough but you will need it soon.

When you do get it changed, make sure you get your thrust bearing and scopot bearing changed, easy and cheap to do while the gearbox is out, and will ensure you don't get weird noises anymore.

Yeah I'm looking at getting a new one right now, spuin i found out that the r33 and r34 clutches are different and the r34 one costs a crap load more :happy:

also It's under 200rwkw atm but I'm looking at doing a computer and boost controller to get it around the 210ish mark hopefully, so i just need one for that sort of power

      Gucci bags tend to hold their value well, so someone’s definitely going to get a nice find here.

      @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑

      I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed

      All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?

      It seems you'd like your Skyline to go to a great home, that can keep it as a beautiful museum piece.  I feel I can provide the perfect place for it, however, I'm not sure I can justify so much money for a Skyline that has only been crashed 3 times. Due to this and market prices, would you be against me buying it for $100.00, with $60 to be paid upfront, and the remaining $40 to be paid annually in equal payments?
