Clutch Issue Gtr

Hey guys I just dropped the engine back into the R32 GTR.

While it was out I had a look at the clutch and it seemed to have some meat on it but not heaps; maybe 1mm of depth in the organic material. Looked like a factory pressure plate but the clutch disc had Exedy written on it.

I pulled the boost restricter and boost climbed just past +7 on the factory gauge which I believe is around 13psi or so.

Now the clutch slips in 3rd or higher when boost hits. (factory snails)

This was my first ever clutch job, is there something I could have done wrong? I'm just wondering if there was something I could have missed before I go and fit a new clutch.

Also I really don't want to drop the gearbox out on my garage floor does anybody know someone for a cheap clutch job in Sydney? I can supply another flywheel that has been freshly machined so it will just be a straightforward swap.

Thanks in advance.

Also I'm wondering if anyone has used those "Xtreme" clutch kits before. There's one from hioctane for like $300 and a cushioned button kit for like $450 does anyone know what they're like? Keep in mind it's a stock turbo setup; I'm about to google it anyway

okay damn. that's what I feared. I have seen truely worn out clutches and thought this one would be okay. My mistake, now I'll pay for it.

I have been quoted $500 from a guy in smithfield called Rob Nguyen; that's a good price for labour right?

      Not stock. All remade. Mostly looks stock because the pipes run to and from the standard holes in the inner guard to get to the return flow FMIC. I'm not sure which question you're trying to ask, because it seems like "stock position" vs "stock position".

      Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
