YES,

REVING-BUT NOT GOING ANYWHERE WOULD BE A GOOD SIGN.

SMELL-IS ANOTHER THAT YOU ARE BURNING THE CLUTCH.

My stock clutch seemed to be on it's way out showing these kind of symptoms.Then i added more 25rwkw more power took it to the drags,it couldnt handle the power and just slipped off the line.then in second so i gave up going for third.

At the moment the 5 puck ceramic HD clutch is great,though,i havent driven it more than 500klms in a year.

was driving my car one night and just put my foot down to over take someone and it started slipping. could smell some nice clutch smoke. so thats how mine went. just couldnt handle it any more.

when we replaced it we had a look at it and it was well and truely screwed (lived a pretty hard life)

it was replaced with an exedy etra heavy duty twin plate clutch and has been sweet ever since. :):)

heheh well i only recently got the car.. NO mods except catback.. n the stock clutch slips in 4th n 5th..

But i have bought a heavy duty excedy clutch to go in there..

Seems like everyone is replacin stock clutch with excedy clutch.. hehe guess i did the right move n bought it for the best price ever (320-from C & B)

Edit: 78000ks.. im sure the clutch started slippin in japan probably a thousand or so ks b4..

I paid $680 for an excede sports tuff clutch fitted here in canberra, it started to die around a year or so ago, you could tell because its friction point kept getting less and less.

Then 2 weeks ago it just died one morning on the way to work, ive got it sitting here now.. and it had hot spots all over it and was down to the rivets and it falls to bits if i pick it up.

The clutch that came out was an excede but a shit one at that, so my cars had 2 clutchs as far as im aware within its 145,000km journey.

my clutch died exactly a week after i put the exhaust and intercooler in :)

i was doing 100km/hr on the freeway and then suddenly the car quiet happily reved to 7000rpm in 5th gear :)

i got a exedy heavy duty clutch as a replacement for like $600-700 or so installed. I've had it for about 5 months.. Its starting to slip now so i'll probably get something abit better when finances permit :)

mine is an exedy twin plate extra heavy duty racing clutch and yes it hard to drive in traffic. defintely wouldnt recommend it on a daily driven car. was a very steep learning curve when i first got it.

cost me about $1800 including installed but its a bloody beast of a clutch. have had it in for about 5 months now and seems indestructable. :)

i had a std broad minded personch in my car.... at 128,000 it was slipping... wouldnt grab when i did a quick shift... got a clutch from c& b and its awesome... can go mad launches... smells a bit tho but now its run in its all good......

had my car since 110,000km and dunno wat was the situation with the clutch...

but maybe it lasted a while because he had it since 70,000km and no recipts of a clutch being done....so maybe it was done in japan as there is writing on the origional one an shit...

My car had done almost 120,000km (stock) when I noticed the clutch wasn't grabbing too well. It wouldn't slip in 4th or 5th but hard changes wouldn't grab.

I then bumped it up to 240rwkw. Subsequently, the day I picked it up not only was the clutch unable to hold even in 3rd, but it was also raining so I had a shithouse drive home in my newly modified toy.

Then to make things even worse, by the time I got back from the Gold Coast to Brisbane the clutch died completely (couldn't even move in first) 6km from home and I had to get it towed. It was a crap night, I'll tell ya that!

Spent $1300 on a heavy duty ceramic single plate. Was a bit rough at first but now it's worn in and I'm used to it it works perfectly. No probs. Grabs very hard as well. Chirping into 3rd is no problem at all. Been going solid for a few months now.

Next time I'll probably go heavy duty organic though considering I don't race the car. Ceramic = overkill for a pure daily driver.

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Data looks rock solid? I'm assuming you jabbed the throttle twice OR once? the TPS voltage moves up and down twice, however you've mentioned you did it once.

      Having not watched the videos, I'm unsure, but this may be better suited to the importing thread?

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By Joni Boi · Posted

      Update on this situation: (Forgot to put in my previous post that I bought another brand new pressure gauge and fuel shows the same 50psi) I've deleted all the aftermarket immobilizers and turbo timer shyt and placed all factory wiring back to normal. The problem is still the same and nothing changed, but atleast it's a bit more tidier under the steering wheel. I've also siphoned out all the old fuel and then poured new batch of BP98 fuel (about 15L) into the tank. Nothing changed. Still the same idle. I also changed out the MAP vac line with a new one and, still the same.  So 2 days ago, I thought fk it. I'll just change out the fuel rail and injectors with another set that I know worked well in my brother's R34 a while back. That other fuel rail has the exact same Xspurt 640cc as what I have right now. So I changed it out to that other fuel rail and injectors (new O-rings) and injector harness. Put everything back together, started the engine, 464906286_1624569924763105_5179888796065901094_n.mp4   and yeah... still the same 50psi and idle problem. 🫠 I can also hear each of injector's solenoids running when I put a screw driver to it and have the other end to my ear. I might get a noid light just to confirm pulsasion but yeah, very strange that both fuel rails and injectors put out 50psi.  31-10-2024.csv I've attached it here. I started recording, then started the engine and let it idle with no throttle, then at the end I applied a little throttle and then stopped recording.    So, now idk. I'm going to see if swapping out the brand new R35 coils to my old splits fires will change anything. 🤷‍♂️

      Hey mate, nice work on the car. Just a quick note, people generally don't like it when you use the forums to dump and run to advertise your YouTube content. If you're gonna stick around and join in the conversation then great, but if not this might not be the best place for you.
