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?

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
