hi all

my clutch pedal is toast and its all wonky and wobbly

i had my local mechanic fix up my slave cyclinder and thats all sorted

but its still about the same, he said the slave was toast but now he is saying the pedal box is shagged to

so its better but the pedal is still floppy etc. ive done some searching and it seems common for the pedal box to die

a few guys just weld it up and its ok etc. they want $200 for the part 2nd hand and $350 to fit it to the car

the car drives ok, selects gears reasonably ok, so the cluthc itself is ok its just clunky and hard to get it in gear - like the pedal is awkward

is this part what i need ?

and is it the same as..

like would it be the whole assembly or just the metal thats toast?

logic says to me its just the metal bracket as they checked the master cylidner and bled it etc and said its fine

if it is at all the same as 32's and s13's then it will give out eventually. mine did at deca. they are a crap design. just take it out and weld the crap out of all the joints.

Hi there mate, Can you tell me the proceedure for removing and refitting the clutch pedal box and have you seen the replacement item from nismo to assess how much better it is than the original.I am A first class welder so re-welding it wouldn't be a problem,just need to know how it is removed and whether to re-weld it or buy the nismo one.Anyone had a Nismo one break??

Mine hasn't gone yet but I am about to replace the clutch with a Jim Berry 4000lb clamp one and want to be prepared for this problem occurring,if I can get the info I need I will probably get the job done before I get stranded out on the highway somewhere.Cheers Grey Pearl

hi gary

i put the nismo one in my car, it just has more seem welds on it, nothing more really

you would be by far better off getting yours welded yourself to make it craploads stronger

i think its just 4 bolts against the main frame/firewall and the clutch cylinder vac thingy

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
