hey guys, ive got a r33 gtst with 200rwkw. ive put a xtreme 9 puk cushioned ceramic clutch in less than a month ago and ive just been kind of taking it easy for the first couple of weeks and today ( a pretty hot day 35+ degrees could have something to do with it but still shouldnt happen) i gave a bit of a squirt and the revs flew up and the car didnt move.

I also notice that the catching point on the clutch was abit higher than normal, i thought this was unusual but just tried to get used to it. is it normal for it to be a bit high?

any help or experiences would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

7yphon - when does yours make a noise? i can hear a sound when the car is still and i engage and disengage the clutch but i think thats about it.

wrxhoon - there is very little free play compared to my old clutch and other cars ive driven. its funny i think the clutch is more vulnerable to slip when the weather is hotter, i drove it 2 minutes ago and the temperature is much lower than before and its not slipping the way it was before.

thanks heaps for the help fellas. would it be hard for me to adjust it myself?

I'd take it back and ask...no demand a new clutch be fitted and adjusted correctly. Reason being if it's been slipping (due to a poor install/adjustment) it's now worn more than it should be under normal operation and I wouldn't find that acceptable nor should you.

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
