Okay, so basically when I change from first to second gear (like a grandma), and then let the clutch out...it makes a big thump probably 1/4 of the way up. the change to 3rd and 4th is less noticeable.

CLIFFS:

When i try to release the clutch (if i dont go incredibly slow) it makes a loud THUMP noise.

Does this mean the clutch is slipping?

What sort of clutch? Could be play in your driveline somewhere.

It is a stock clutch. Someone on silvia forums thinks it is because "the dual mass flywheel would have f**ked springs, causing the second mass to move and clunk"

I wish people on car forums actually helped.

Everyone on this forum is helpful, we are a community of car lovers and more so skyline lovers... Now I'll be brutally honest here, I

Don't know you, never dealt with you, but I HAVE heard of you.... I am a local guy like you, but you managed to upset a LOT, I can only assume u were a dick at some stage... I think you got banned yes?

Now, I'm not here to judge you... I am one of the guys you will meet soon, I suggest you bring the car and I'll have a look for you... OR if you can't drive it show me the car and I'll drive it and let you know.... E mechanics is near possible with the info you supplied, your knowledge of cars may be limited but you will learn in time...

Don't pick on the forum, evaluate yourself... And PM me if you have any issues with anything said...

I gave you a possible cause and you listed another. Skylines don't have dual mass flywheels so not everyone here will have experience with them

If that's how your gonna act I'm sorry I tried to help in the first place. Seems you didnt even bother looking at any play in the driveline

And if there's a possibility that its the dual mass flywheel why aren't you looking into that. Its a Sylvia not a skyline so don't get the $hits when a Sylvia forum has listed a possible issue and no one on here has.

He's just trolling you guys.

Don't bother helping him.

He probably doesn't even have a problem, just making up something to troll with.

OT.

Go to a Silvia Forum and ask them.

Better yet, take it to a mechanic.

I already asked on silvia forums.

I appreciated your response, but you were the only person who bothered answering, and I dont know how to check for play in the driveline.

I can't find a mechanic for the S15 anyway, no one seems interested around here or seem familiar with s15's. If it was a v8 commodore etc id have no worries finding a mechanic.

So yeah, not going to waste money taking it to mechanics when they will just rip me off.

Reap what you sow motherf**ker. If you kill a man 1-2 years ago that don't mean your past ain't gonna catch up to you when you don't want it to.

Hi Benji,

It doesn't sound like your clutch is slipping rather something is worn. I'd suggest checking the tailshaft centre bearing.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.

      Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
