I am actually quite newbie to car parts and stuffs. I went in with my friends and following his car at 140-160km/h. Then at a certain point, I will smell something funny in the car and wind down the window to smell if it was from outside. As expected, it don't seem to be from outside. I actually panic thinking that it might be the engine or such, but it went away after few minutes time. I didn't know what happened until now it was mentioned in the forum. Do you think I need to send my car to workshop for clutch plate checking?

 

Hope all the bros could give your comments, as I am kind of new in this area.

my personal thoughts.....

 

it should be ok....can wait till you experience clutch slip then go and change....when you clutch gone, slip is the first symptoms, your clutch pedal is higher, you loses power.......if you dun feel these, still ok lor

Thanks for your quick response.

 

Is it normal to have this kind of thing happen when travelling at that speed? Is there anyway to prevent this from happening? (Beside "don't go at that speed")

 

She's just 1 yr old, felt a bit heart pain to know that it's the clutch that was burning. How much will it cost roughly to replace clutch?

[S2P2]

if you are not into hard driving, the clutch can last you a long long time....frankly, i have never had cltuch burn on NSH.....

Actually this just happened to me over last Sunday. Wanted to push as much as possible b4 the ECU limits the speed. I mananged to hit 180 Km/h with 5 big sized adults over the scond link. Had the smell and my dad told me it's the tyres as it was like 33 Deg at 3 pm. Super hot sun. He's an ex-BMW cop (he know's a thing or two abt high speed driving) and mentioned that if the engine is not heating up (lack of engine oil or water) , the tyre exerts a lot of pressure during high speeds. My added full load also contributed to this. Have actually done this a few times before and not always with full load and not always with the smell. But i could be wrong. But when it's a cooler day, i dun get that smell.

eh eh eh....long time no see u online liao

im alone and my rpm only reads 4000 towards 80km/h and the smell came..

 

engine not heating up since the temp meter was well maintained at the normal reading..

 

But when it's a cooler day, i dun get that smell.

had this smell at night, hence shouldn't be due to hot weather..

 

thanks for sharing ur encounter..
