Hi everyone,

After getting my brake and clutch fluid changed my clutch felt great - very low take up point, nice firm pedal. But after a week the clutch is now engaging at the very top of the pedal's travel - and its very annoying to drive.

What could have caused this and should I be taking it back to the place that did the work?

Thanks

Greg

Got the system bled and it fixed in temporarily.

It's back now. Mechanics reckon its the master cylinder.

What do you think?

1. clutch squeaks when depressed

2. the hotter the car, the higher the release point and more pedal effort required

3. quite sudden take up

I would be checking the cylinders like others said. I've broken springs and shit inside them before due to my clutch at the time being very heavy duty. Also make sure your clutchs pedal metal bracket isnt bending etc due your new clutch being stronger....ahah i have also broken one of them once again due to a very heavy clutch.

i had the exact same problem.. go my MASTER cylinder changed and now it back to normal.. nice firm pedal release point just below half way out greeat success!! i had a squeak as i depressed my clutch as well.. that is still slighty there... i only got the car back today so in the next few days if it goes again then i change the slave cylinder... but so far all good with just changing the master :thumbsup:

dont suppose any of you guys know where to get a new slave cyl from?? any tips please pm me! ta simonnnn

kudos motorsport

adjust you clutch pedal? the lines might have had air in the lines and the pedal was adjusted for that and when u bled it that may have changed the response so u need to adjust for that

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
