Where Can I Bring My Gtr To? Problems Arising...

Hi guys

So my car is starting to do a slow and steady death in terms of driveability.

I don't know if it's the clutch slipping or some other unearthed problem. Sometimes the car doesn't rev or pick up speed like it should. It feels like I'm pulling a two tonne truck at the back, revving it freely is fine. More to do with trying to pick up speed in 2nd gear. On full launch, 4-5krpm, the car revs but doesnt seem to transfer the power to the drive train. after a few seconds or so, then only it'll kick in.

sometimes it'll rev at a, 3krpm, and speed will remain constant then only pick up.

Anyway, without trying to 2nd guess too much, anyone know who I can bring my car in to have a look at it? preferably near the Preston (northish cbd) area.

Thanks!

Thanks guys

Yea I ordered an Exedy HD from Dan @ modyourcar, no dosh for a twin plate at the moment, this came unexpectedly. Also ordered new seals and a nismo pivot ball from Kudos, since they'll be under there.

Will be taking it to some Clutch/Brake specialist up the road *cross fingers*

My car is my life at the moment, I can't do anything without it.

Racepace are good but are mighty costly
Racepace mate, they specialise in GTR's and are a little pricey but do awesome work.

they're very well priced in my opinion. you basically get what you pay for its really that simple.

I agree mate, they are very well price for the work they do I just meant that they might be a bit pricey compared to some other places around. I'm one of their customers and honestly I couldn't be happier, i'v never had any issues with their work, prices or service, it's always awesome.

that doesn't sound like clutch, if it was clutch revs would increase dramatically with no rise in KPH

sometimes it'll rev at a, 3krpm, and speed will remain constant then only pick up.

This does sound like clutch though, so I guess you are doing the right thing by changing it but it may be something else. Only one way to find out I suppose :sick:

Just to update, brought my car to Darby's and he did a TOP JOB.

Didn't actually have to swap my clutch, but he put in all the parts I got.

New clutch, new seals, nismo pivot joint, brake and clutch flush.

When he stripped everything down, he found a problem with my servo. Apparently the bearings were smashed, hence causing the clutch not to bite at times. This was the root cause of the "slippage".

After $1.2k, I'm a happy camper. Not so happy when the credit card bill comes.

if your launching at 4500rpm is a single HD strong enough? perhaps twin plate would have been better

ie baby it around until you can afford tiwn place. would be ashame to see you fry this one in a short time and have to replace again

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      By Duncan · Posted

      I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better.

      2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)

      OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed

      Quick side trip into the engine externals, alternator and PS were in place including tensioned belts, but the PS was dry (my guess is he had the steering rack reco-ed). Filled it up with Transmax Z but it will need more bleeding once the engine is running no doubt. BTW I've said before, I don't know what kind of soft animals you have in the city, but out here they breed the rats tough. I bet they were disappointed when they tasted synthetic ATF.... Coilpacks are Splitfires with a factory loom in reasonable condition. I didn't pull one put I bet the spark plugs are new as its a new engine

      Onto intake pressure test. I have a Raceworks (damn brand thieves!) pressure test adapter that lets you apply pressure through a standard tyre valve and comes with a pressure gauge.....I just blocked off the other end immediately before the throttle body. Applied 30psi....and the turbo intake immediately popped off with a bang. Sorted that but it was still leaking, turns out there is a pinhole leak at the BOV adapter that I'll have to find a local place to TIG up. I'm sure it makes SFA difference with such a small leak but I want it to be right. Everything else up to the throttle body was good. Also cleaned and oiled the KNX cone filter, and this is the AFM if anyone can identify it (car runs a PowerFC)
