hey guys, just wondering what your thoughts are on this, ok my clutch is fine most of the time...but when reversing and like putting in 1st gear in traffic or just someitmes when cruising around..ill put the clutch in and go to change gears and the gear stick is hell hard to move and when i pull it out everything goes clunk as if its still got some sort of load on it....sometimes when in traffic i have clutch in and brakes on in 1st gear and the car slowly kreeps foward.. and is hard to take outta gear and i have to pump the clutch alittle to get it to free up....now i have changed the master cylinder to a brand new one cos it was leaking...and i checked the lines and the slave cylinder and it looks fine no fluid leaking anywhere.. ive bled it twice now and still same problem its as if the clutch is still slightly engaged....i want to know what the little box is that the clutch line comes out of...cos it seems pointless...to have the box. what do you guys think it is. i have a exedy heavy duty pressure plate with a 5 puck race ceramic clutch, oh and it also gets stuck in gears if you ride the clutch and get it to shudder. its pissing me off bigtime and i have the pedal adjusted all the way out so the clutch works as soon as you pretty much touch the pedal..

cheers luke

yeah that is really interesting cos i have experienced the exact same problem with my car and was able to fix it by replacing the master cylinder. Its got to be something to do with the hydraulics but i dont really know enough to be able to tell you what.

Good luck though

Sounds like your clearances are up the shit. Sounds like the clutch is not fully dis-engaging, thus making it hard to take out or put into gear. When going to an aftermarket clutch, there is a colar, in the clutch assy, that may need to be modified, if this is left std, it may be too long. I am not a mechanic, so i can't go into details :.

Take it to a proper mechanic to check over it properly :rofl:

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
