Gtr Clutch And Brakes Question

[Rozza]

Hey all, kinda new to the GTR scene so i have a bit of what may seem a stupid question, i dont know that much about this kind of thing.

Ive been driving skylines for a while but my previous two have been an r32 GTS and r34 GT. With both of these cars the clutch and brakes have been very light and fluid, however with my GTR the brakes arnt too bad but the clutch is quite heavy, now i was wondering if this is because of being a 4wd, rather high performance car, or if my clutch is just crap.

[Yawn]

A heavy clutch pedal doesnt mean your clutch is crap, normally means the opposite, that its an uprated clutch capable of handling more power.

they have a vacuum assisted clutch, due to it being heavier

make sure your vacuum set-up is still functioning properly

You may have had a stock clutch previous cars? Most of the GTR's around usually upgrade the clutches to a heavy duty. Nismo make a cylinder that actually makes it a lot softer.

Have you asked the previous owner??

If you felt my pedal its hard to push it in and heavy and mine clutch is upgraded

More then likey you would have a heavy single in there..

Do you have alot of play in the clutch when engaging or is it on or off??

[Rozza]

Not alot of play in it at all. gear change is just fine..a little sticky when putting in into first on a stand still, oh and i get a wee squeeling noise if im in traffic conditions taking off going up a hill.

i have a upgraded clutch cylinder in my gtr and my clutch is heavy as!!!

i have a twin plate clutch which is probly the reason for it being so heavy, and when your not moving and i put the clutch in i can hear a metal on metal rubbing noise, and it also squeels if you try ride it, it's on or off.

my mechanic indicates that if you can't hear a rubbing noise when you put the clutch in, it's a single plate clutch cause they buff out the noise where as a twin plate doesn't.

they should both squeel when they are being ridden, this is a indicator to stop riding it or your doing a big launch which is putting some pressure on it.
