hey all,

just needed ur feedback on this...

i recently fitted a new clutch to my r32-gts4. since then i have had countless problems with my 4wd and clutch. i first thort that i was fitted with a dodgy clutch as after a week i was having problems getting it into 1st or reverse -- so i took it back to my mechanic. this apparently was caused by the slave/master cylinder needing to be replaced.

the car was still slipping after this but for some reason i doesnt seem like its the clutch playing up... it seems to be caused by the diff. was hoping to get some feedback on the atessa system having this same or similar problem.. do you know if a faulty diff / 4wd system could case my car to slip its gears? i guess im just puzzled as i thort rplacing the clutch would fix the slipping problem, but obviously it hasnt...

ur help with this would be very much appreciated.. so thanks in advance.

hi, just a quick question.

Did they disconnect the hoses from the transfer box?

your 4wd system may need bleeding (the resoivoir is in the boot on rhs, check the level when ignition is on as pump primes the pressure in the pipe and fluid level drops) - it is easy to do, just check the gtr manual. Basically involves using the attessa pump to pump fluid thru to transfer box to build up pressure and bleed out air bubbles.

also check the fluid in the transfer case, the actual fluid that lubricates the clutch packs that transfer power to the front driveshaft and then to the front wheels. there are two filler points on side of the gearbox, one is for gearbox oil - eg. castrol vmx 80 from memory and the other for transfer box. on level surface the oil should be level with the bottom edge of filler hole, use finger to check, I think from memory you can use the a 1/2 inch power bar to fit into filler bolt to undo it.

depending on the power you have ( i.e. lots above std) or how hard you are launching if the transfer is not working properly then you may actually be spinning your new clutch with all the power being transmitted to the rear wheels and none going to the front wheels as it was designed to be.

I'm not sure about LSD'd but i dont think a worn lsd will feel like a slipping clutch... maybe someone else can provide an answer.

      Rv37 400r questions

      By elir32 · Posted

      Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance

      Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By NZ-GTT · Posted

      I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
