Ok so my clutch has been slipping when hitting boost, thought it was the clutch, but then my mate drove and pumped the clutch a few times and it didn't slip, checked clutch fluid and it's black, figured I'd change the clutch fluid n see if that fixes the problem ( according to old owner who is a good mate, the clutch is almost new, n it shouldn't be stuffed) so my question is, what clutch fluid do u get, n how much, where do you get it from etc, it's not a stock clutch, does that matter what fluid I use? It's not the slave cylinder I don't think, still full of fluid and not leaking etc. But the fluid is black, I figured I'd go the cheapest solution first and see how I go. The car is an r33 gtst series 2, making 220kw if that helps.

Whatever you use for brake fluid. Top quality stuff is not expensive e.g. Motul RBF600. Check in front of the clutch pedal and on the firewall sto see if the m/c is leaking. May need new seals. But lack of hydraulics shouldn't cause the clutch to slip - rather the opposite - hard to get into gear without graunching.

    • Ha ha, that is very true!  I'm too scared to leave it in the position though, it tingles my balls seeing it like that!
    • Which one did you buy? I have always wanted a decent inspection camera but have been unable to tell whether something is cheap junk or cheap junk chunk sold at just a bigger markup
    • Ha ha ha! I know those feels mate I've finally got the garage cleared enough that next weekend I'll do some actual work on my car (hopefully). Unfortunately garage isn't usable after 10am at the moment That said, I've done a lot of work this weekend on helping finalise a friend's Production Race car. Full started Christmas Eve. We're down to about 8 tasks on the list, including "get a wheel alignment". Sometimes it's just easier working on someone else's car or project than our own stuff 😛
    • Ha ha, ended up going it alone.  I just sent it (in a very nervous fashion).  Once I'd released the locks and it didn't automatically start spinning out of control i felt a bit more confident.   It made some loud sounds (cracking and creaking noises) when I first spun it which got the heart rate going again!  I couldn't bring myself to leave it tipped on the side.  I feel a bit more comfortable having back right side up while it sits there. I'd get angry with your last point but you're 100% correct! 😅 Even yesterday I managed to distract myself at numerous times to make a bracket to fit an LED flood light off the back of the house and fix my sons pushbike.  There were other little taks nibbling at my brain for the rest of the day too...
    • Probably one of the more nerve wracking experiences of my entire life! 😂😂 The balance (centre of gravity) is out still but in a direction that gives me comfort!   It's quite bottom heavy still meaning it takes a bit of muscle to rotate it.  The plus side of that is that it wants to to go back to upright.  Better that than wanting to go all stranded turtle on me!
