Hi Everyone,

I have doubts that my 1989 R32 GTR has the original gearbox and clutch, how can I tell for sure whether it's a push or pull type clutch?

I do know it has to do with which side of the clutch fork that the slave cylinder is on, but I cannot find anywhere clarification on which is which. What type of clutch is it, if the slave cylinder is on the engine (or front of car) side of the clutch fork? If I can find this out then it obviously also answers for the opposite side.

Please only post if you know for sure as I've already read enough threads on here and GTROC UK where the information is incomplete or there are conflicting opinions...I need facts!

Thanks to everyone in advance :D

Cheers!

Craig

Its dead easy....look at the way the clutch slave rod points.

If it points to the front of the car it is a push clutch. If it points to the rear of the car it is a pull clutch.

So yours is pull if its on the engine side and points rear. Good score in an 89 GTR.

its the opposite of what is said above.

good point....I shouldn't stand on my head when looking under the car :thumbsup:

cool...now R31 Gagz...if the rod out of the cylinder is pointing rearwards its a push (actual cylinder is positioned in front of the clutch fork) obviously the other way is pull.

Why the difference, are the later pull clutch designs more efficient or better or?

Hi Ben,

Yeah really not sure either, possibly it just works better? The pull type clutches cost slightly more than the pull type, so that's one con...you would hope there were some good pros for paying more :blink:

Does anyone else know why they changed to a pull type clutch on post 1993 model R32 GTRs?

Cheers!

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
