Clutch? Diff? Wtf Is Going On With My R34

[jonesl]

Hey guys, I have a strange problem going on intermittently.

Sometimes if I shift from 1st to 2nd under hard load it seems like the clutch slips and the revs build up fast.

However i tried doing some 5th gear pulls up a steep hill and a little clutch kick, No slip! Just grips and pulls.

Its pissing me off! I thought it could be my diff single spinning, but I'm not convinced anymore as it also does it in a straight line too.

Car is a R34 GTT. Basically stock, stock clutch.

If it is clutch, Looking at buying this clutch bellow (cheap), Can anyone identify it?

Reason, R34 pull type clutches are expensive. Lol. This i think is a brass button?

Thanks for your help guys.

How many kms on the clutch etc? Its most likely going to be a clutch issue unless you seriously cant tell if its wheel spinning?

Mine failed fairly early on with only 199rwkw or something....

Dont skimp on a clutch, Dont buy a second hand clutch or one in unknown condition.

There is a clutch thread for R34's with some good advice, i'd be looking into that!

Thanks mate, Yea the car has 97000 on the clock.

I will hunt down this clutch thread you speak of =) thanks.

I know the wheel spin thing sound silly, but from 1st to 2nd you would expect wheel spin anyway so it makes it hard for me to figure it out. Which was why i tried the 5th gear pull, I thought it would slip up a hill under that much load. Maybe not?
