My Clutch Taking The Piss Out Of Me

Hey people, have a jim berry full monty clutch in my 33, for some reason lately the friction point on my clutch is always changing, when the car is cold (just started driving) the thing will bite really low... as soon as i let go of the clutch itll grab, and then sometimes.. usually as I drive for a bit.. the friction point will change to as high as 2/3 of the way up the pedal stroke, which is a pain as its get impossible to get used to the car.

It even gets as bad in some instances where i have the clutch to the floor, with the car in first gear, and its as if the clutch is just starting to grab.. it would also be harder to put into gears at this point, as im guessing the clutch isnt fully enganged.

I have tried adjusting the clutch... which is pointless as the friction point will just keep changing.. have done a clutch fluid bleed several times with no real improvements, any suggestion guys???

any help greatly appreciated as I dont want to f*** anythig by driving it like this...

I'm thinking to check for clearance in the pushrod into the master cylinder. Should just be able to wiggle the rod. Check before you start out (when friction point is low) and then again when friction point gets too high.

I just wanna say i feel for you having that clutch. My friends r34 gtt has one and i asked to take it for a drive; I tried to get going but after 5-7 attempts and huuuuge neck whiplashes I got out of the car.

Sorry i dont have any advice for ya except to call Jim Berry and ask him what to do, maybe its a fault?

Best of luck working out the problem

dont think its the clutch itslef, at the end of the day a clutch is just springs n tensioners nothing can really vary like mine is... i actually love the way it grabs but its a pain when this grabbing point is constantly changing.

call race clutch in queensland, theres a sticky with his details

      Hello sau 👋

      Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
