I'm gonna make this short

When i drive and get it on, it slips very badly. The revs will get up, and it feels like the engine is making power, but it wont hit boost and it wont go anywhere

the clutch is obviously slipping.

The thing is, 2 weeks ago it drove perfectly fine with no hints of slipping.

It just revs up, and if i let off the gas a little it'll catch.

I can put it into 5th without putting the clutch in.

I recently replaced the clutch master cylinder and the slave as well.

this slipping just came very sudden and out of nowhere.

Are there any other checks or tests i can do to diagnose the problem?

Could it just be something else that is totally not clutch related?
I read some other threads, is it possible i have a boost leak?

I'm so mad and pissed right now, i just dont know what to do

If i do need a new clutch, are there any compatable clutches, like from a Z32 or anything that will work with my SR?

please help me.

Sounds like a fried clutch, but you wouldn't be able to really tell until you drop the tranny. When was the last time the clutch was changed? Have you been driving your car really hard?

Anyhow.. if you need a clutch, I believe http://www.clutchnet.com has something for the SR. Good luck.
