Hi, I have had some sveatty days working out with the rb25 gearbox. First time the two plates were not aligned so I couldn't even get the gearbox in and had to take it out again. This time the box went all the way in but now I can't get any gears in when the engine is on. I tried bleeding the fluids and adjusted the pedal as much as it goes. Then I lifted the rear up and started with a gear on, then the wheels spinned even with the pedal down. When I pushed the break and cluthc the rews went down a bit but the engine didn't stop. Could it be that I put one plate the wrong way? That could show some slipping, like what I have? Now the plates are not the same way. The plate closer the engine has the "outcoming" part in the middle facing the engine, and the plate closer the gearbox is the other way. Does anybody remember how they should be. Or is there maybe something else you could easily mess up in the installation since this was my first time :) . All I have is japanese instructions wich didn't help so much. Thanks.

Did you use the right bearing carrier? Have to decipher the instructions to figure out which one is right for you.

Sorry my english for the parts names isn't so good, but bearing carrier? I think it's the new part we changed with the bearing that I ordered with the clutch set from rhd japan. It is the part you attach to the bearing between the clutch and gearbox? It has the same effect you're right. I can send the japanese instructions if someone understands them. Yeah, by the way it is a dampered clutch if it has any difference. What is the right bearing carrier, have to check it out when I remove the gearbox... again.

By the sounds of it, I would have to agree with BNR#@.

It sounds like your bearing carrier is too short for your application, so that even at full throw the clutch isn't being disengaged.

Even though the manual is in japanese it isn't really hard to work out which one you need for your car.. numbers and pics make it easier to follow.

By the way, Thanks to Serg for helping out gavin at cypher with my clutch. Thanks heaps mate. I think they were under the impression that I didn't have the manual. Hopefully it is the nastiest clutch install that they have to deal with for a long time as it needed a pile of other bits replaced and a real bastard to fit it all back in.

Clutch bites like a bitch, but seems to be getting a bit nicer after a couple of days use. Zacka tuned it on thursday night and it made 350.6 rwhp @ ~17psi. All via hand controller too. Very happy.. for now.

post-43975-1219666533_thumb.jpgOkay, according to the picture the distance between the lines in the bearing carrier should be 14-16mm, agreed? I'll take the box out tomorrow and measure it. I just thought that the pieces would be right because they came in the same package, well you learn from your mistakes.... :D

Haha, I was actualy there helping them lift the gearbox when they were trying to get it in with your front pipes still attached, not fun, bloody heavy bugger to... No matter how the box was angled it wasnt going in... The clutch does bite but you realy get use to it fairly fast, yours rattle to?

Rattle? hmm.. put it this way, my wife reckons that my car came back broken. :D

Bit of a zing when starting, and bit of a clunk when coming in to a stop with the clutch in like a uni-joint type of noise. Pedal effort is almost half of what the original one was, a heavy duty single I am led to believe.

Gavin found out how much fun it was to try and refit the front pipe to those dump pipes as well, it took me about 3 hours to do it myself on the shed floor the first time..

Haha, get use to explaining to everyone that it rattles because its so hardcore :)

Mine has a nismo slave cylinder so is light as a feather, would have actualy prefered it a bit heavy er but use to it now...

Was there when he was taking your fronts off, was gone by the time he was puting them back on, figured wasnt gona hang arround for the second round of lifting that box :(

My friend had a similar problem, he found out that the tube which carries the bearing carrier pressed the clutch plate all the time. And that didn't allow it to release, he had to cut about 1cm of the tube away to get it to work. Have to check today if there is any signs of contact. The bearing carrier had the lenght that was adviced in the instructions, but still there is about 1,5cm loose in the fork movement before it started to push the clutch (before it got stiff). Is that okay?

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
