hey guys i recently got my h/d excedy clutch kit put in about 3 months ago and my clutch grabing point is right at the end when i drive for over 30min, but in the first week it was kind of in the middle can anyone tell me if this is normal because its a pull type clutch or is my pivot fork stuffed?

i didnt know they where adjustable?

where do i do that ?

Adjust the rod that goes the pedal.

If you do a search you will find pics that I put up a ling time ago ( a year or so ago).

I have a similar thing, when I first had the clutch installed and fitted the biting point was real low which was good.

Now it seems to be high again, but perhaps I am just getting used to it.

I had the pedal adjusted, but it still feels high?

Is it because I am used to it? it still doesnt feel as nice as the first time I drove it after the Exedy HD install.

yes it does feel abit springy i ended up adjusting the clutch abit more down but its still feel the click... i think its effecting my gearbox because when i select it too 1st while driving slow to second i can feel a quike crunch but when i rev the gear out it doesnt grind but very rarley it doesnt go in at all i have to pump the clutch twice to get it in...

if its redline shockproof you put in your gearbox you might want to change it asap. Apparently the stuff makes the gear changes real smooth at first but the getrag gear boxes don't like the stuff (ie. they break). Do a search for getrag oils and you'll find some useful threads.

If you wanna skip that, one of the recommended oils was castrol transmax Z.

All r34 owners always complain about this everytime they get a new clutch ..

The r34 hydro clutch releases high .. its obviously designed for burn outs and high speed changes so you can just drop it :)

But seriously everyone ive heard from always says the clutch is so low .. next week they wine and say its back to when they changed it .. the r34 is just made that way dont think its changable..

And the metal to metal sound doesnt sound good but I always hear the gear box working when I shift (stationary) most cars do .. In motion dont hear much just a bluddy loud exhaust..

    • Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..
    • I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.  
    • Yeah the rule of thumb with an LS is 7psi per 1000rpm. That is decidedly not enough at 6800rpm. I mainly looked for the scenarios where knock started to be picked up and it was later in the session when things were hotter, and oil was thinner, and the pressure was lower than it should be. (i.e very horrible). I am hoping with thicker oil (I was running Penrite ten tenths 10-40, the manual specifies 10-30) that does not leak that it's much improved at that time!!! I am using Project Mu Club Racer CR pads. I'm also using the Project Mu 335C fluid. The symptoms imply that it was fluid that boiled, but no bubbles seemed pretty weird to me when I bled it today. I want to try Castrol SRF as it has a much higher wet temp but, well, I have new Project Mu fluid lol... so I should at least use that. The pedal on track was really noticable. It went from basically normal feeling to instantly near-floor. The car did pull up as before, it was just very much nearly at the floor before the brakes engaged. At that point I pretty much decided the day was very done, it did *kinda* come back during that very slow cooldown lap into the pits. Felt perfectly fine driving home.
