Clutch Problem

Hey guys,

having some problems with my clutch on my 32 gtst. i replaced it about 10 months ago with a heavy duty clutch from repco, and when i did that to press the pedal it was pretty heavy. But along the way my clutch master cylinder started leaking and i never really good it fixed until today. Now its a bit more heavier but sometimes its hard to push the stick into gear. Like to get into first i have to come to a COMPLETE stop and push the pedal in and then put it into first gear, and it feels sometimes pretty rough when it should be feeling smooth.

My mate who changed the clutch master said saw the selector fork when the car was raised and it was really bent.. does this sound like what my problem is? how much would it cost to take it somewhere to get it straightened out?

Thanks

if the pedal is hard, i will assume it's been bled properly.

if the master cylinder has an adjustable pushrod, make sure it is adjusted long enough so that when the pedal is pressed in, it is releasing the clutch properly/fully.

if it isn't releasing you will have trouble getting the gears.

how far do you have to lift the clutch to get it to take up/take off?

if you barely lift the clutch and your moving forward, might need a little adjustment to lengthen the pushrod.

by all means could be the fork bending, which will do the same and not allow it to release, but hell that is not very common at all in my books.

thats what my mate told me who put in the clutch master (about the fork).. he says the new clutch master i bought was a few thread's short or something compared to the other one.. but yeah i barely lift the clutch for the car to start moving.. and its hard to get into gears.. also out of no where it will start hunting/jerking so id be going constant 80 then it would jerk while im pushing the accelerator and slow for a bit then picking up just do the sometimes unexpectedly.. it even stalls when im in neutral sometimes going 60

would this all be due to the clutch?

he also says the bled it twice but its so soft its not hard at all

      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.
