Slipping CLutch

[Mtt11]

i just bought a 93 240sx hatchback super hicas, the whole car is in almost perfect condition except the clutch, it doesnt grip when i honk on it in low gears, and i can feel it slip in the top end of the higher gears.  can i adjust the clutch cause its a hydraulic and i hear you can do that, or do i just have to replace it, and if so, what the approx. cost of doing so(in canadian dollars if possible).  

Thanks for any info given i love the car, good buy.

Just buy a new clutch.  There isn't much you can do about a slipping clutch short of replacing it.

just replace the clutch. I got a clutch disc for my 1990 240 for around 34 bucks, but that is the the clutch disc

ok, well that is what i will most likely need to replace right? can i do something like that myself, or can my dad do it in the driveway(hes a mechanic), anyone? i really would like some input here its pretty weak.

and yes i am the topic starter.. used wrong account

Yes you can do it yourself. I did and it was just me and a friend, but... IT was a Bitch. saved 250 dollars but took several days to complete just cause the transmission is so tightly fitted. If you're dad is a mechanic then it will most defintely not be a problem just make sure you have a alignment tool. If you have anymore q's just ask me

[Mtt22]

anyone have an estimate or real number if possible it would cost to get it done in a shop(in canadian dollars if possible)

900-1000 cdn money

GREAT NEWS!

IM AN IDIOT!

hehe, i got my dad to finally get off his ass and take a look at my situation, he says the clutch is perfect and the problem is powerloss and what i thought was slipping in the top end is missing. &nbsp;So i take a look at the spark plugs and they are completely fucked, so i got some bosch platinums and noticed an immediate increase in power. &nbsp;Tommorow i will be putting in a bottle of fuel system treatment and buying a k&n factory replacement air filter(if i can find one).


ONE LAST QUESTION?

does the s13 have computer controlled timing or do i need to time it cause i think the timing is retarded.
