Hey ppls,

http://www.nengun.com/nismo/big-operating-cylinder

Picked up a 25t box and have known about the nismo larger slave cylinder that reduces pedal effort.

My initial thoughts are as the cylinder is larger it requires the master cyl to displace more clutch fluid to completely disengage the clutch.

Has any one had experience with these larger clutch slave cylinders and with what clutch?

No issues with disengagement?

im about to start my 25t box conversion also, i will keep an eye on this tread

i had the speed sender units out of the two boxes yesterday, tyring to work out how im going to get the speedo working.

from this info i had from SK i thought it would be simple

1. I used an R33GTST slave cylinder, I don't remember seeing any difference to the R32GTST slave anyway.

2. I used a standard R32GTST speedo cable, the one the car always had

3. I used the inner half of the R33GTST speedo drive (the bit that goes in the gearbox) with the external part of the R32GTST speedo drive (the bit that connects to the speedo cable). They fit together perfectly.

but the speedo drives are one piece as far as i can tell and its not as simple as using half from each. i think some slightly custom shit is going to have to happen to get that working

sorry for the slight hijack but what do u plan to do to get the speedo working?

back on topic i got the 33 slave with my box, but was thinking about hitting up a nismo slave and the pivot fork thing. i think u should get one and tell me what its like ;)

1. I used an R33GTST slave cylinder, I don't remember seeing any difference to the R32GTST slave anyway.

The R33 slave has 2 bolt holes on the bottom of the cyl, the R32 GTST has one on the top one on the bottom. So different bolt up.

3. I used the inner half of the R33GTST speedo drive (the bit that goes in the gearbox) with the external part of the R32GTST speedo drive (the bit that connects to the speedo cable). They fit together perfectly.

Interesting.. So the bolt up bracket section bolts on to the rb25t box fine? How is the length between the two?

sorry for the slight hijack but what do u plan to do to get the speedo working?

I've been given a part number that is 'apparently' still available so I will be finding out about that tomorrow. If not.. Maybe head to a wreckers to try and find an appropriate navara.

i might be missing some thing but i dont see what u would gain by going a larger slave

if you go bigger slave it will take more effort and stroke from the master

If it takes more stroke then that would mean less effort. Think of it as a leverage type thing.

A big arsed breaker bar requires more movement to provide half a turn of a bolt than what a small stubby ring spanner.

You will find the benefit of using the bigger slave two fold .

1) Less effort

2) More progresive pick up, so easier to drive in traffic.

No problems with the clutch disengaging at all mate , Its a Nismo product afterall and all nismo products are made well and work .

I have a Nismo Super Coppermix and a Nismo slave in my GTR , works perfect .

joel, i will use the 33 slave on the box never intended to use the 32 one if it was different to the 33. That was the info i got back from SK when i asked him awhile ago if i needed the 33 slave or not, as i remembered people debating it in another thread.

In regard to the speedo drives the 33 one is much longer than the r32 one. the r32 one obviously has a slot in the end u put the speedo cable in, i want to take this off and put it on the 33 drive but its not going to be easy as they appear to be one piece each :S I really need to talk to SK about this again and see if he can expain it further what is reqd.

also where are u ordering the slave from, will they do a better price for 2? :(

what clutch are u looking at getting joel?

the clutch i have at the momment is fantastic and the pedal isnt that much harder than stock. i have no issues with wanting it to be lighter or more controllable. i must admit it is only a single plate and when i go to a twin for the next motor i expect ill grab one of these nismo slaves then.

however maybe i should grab it now before they all dry up :(

i will try and get a pic comparing the speedo drives next time i have my car on the hoist in the shop...

I am looking at the exedy GTR 3puk sports ceramic. Apparently the GTR clutch has a tougher pressure plate.

What clutch are you using and with how much power?

Currently the 9puk xtreme XHD (heavy pedal) holds the power once the gear is selected BUT on quick changes it slips.

Granted it has done 70,000km's. lol

i had direct clutch in brisbane do mine 5 years ago, i belive they modded the pressure plate and gave me a ceramic/organic clutch plate similar to a stock one.

The pedal is stuff all heavier that i can tell and never ever slips. i have piss all power tho, 214rwkw from a hks 2530 rb20.

im expecting when my rb30 or 31 is done it will need a twin plate, and from the talk here lately im leaning towards the nismo one. tho i might give direct anotehr call and see what they could do for me.

i went with them because around the time the were handling JUDGE's work and he had one of th emost powerful cars in the country before he died.

If i havent said the clutch is still as new, and ive given it a fair flogging.

the proof tho is probably in my rooted rb20 box :( well its not that bad just pretty noisy, i think the bearings are shagged

heading down the shop now, gotta grab some tools to remove my surge tank, its got a pin hole in it !!!

i used one with my nismo kunt tripple. it helped.

i put a os giken one in and it wasnt very good. (long travel to release) it was easy to crunch gears cos you gotta push alllll the way down on the pedal to disengage. i put the standard one back in. much better.

funny cause I had the exact same thing using the nismo slave with my OS tripple. clutch pedal needed to be depressed all the way or you had no hope. bought a brand new stock nissan one, sure pedal is a bit heavier but I find it easier to control and now works sweet as a nut. I've now used the stock slave with OS tripple and OS twin.

slave is dead easy to change. probably the easiest job you can do on a GTR next to putting fuel in it. the hardest part is getting down on the ground! basically go to the drivers side. jack the car up a bit. you'll see the slave on the side of the box. undo clutch hose, undo the two bolts. put new slave there. do up the two bolts do up the clutch line. undo the bleed nipple, bleed clutch. done. ;)

cubes. np. :D

one thing to remember is it's a pretty simple formula. larger bore means less travel, but lighter pedal. smaller bore means longer, faster travel, but more pedal effort needed.

with bleeding the clutch if u only take the slave off do u only need to bleed it from the slave or the whole system

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By MissMintyR33 · Posted

      Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.
