Adjusting Clutch, R33

[Guest Robo's]

After putting in my clutch, first i had no pedal, then i blead it and no i have pedal but its only an inch from the floor, i need to bring it up.

There is no adjustment, do i just keep on bleading it?

[NA_R33]

i say u need to bleed it more, the r33's have a self adjusting clutch, not sure exactly how it works.

They are supposed to be close to the floor new ...As they wear they take off higher

[Guest Robo's]

I will give it some more bleeding then

[Lepperfish]

I reckin its best having the clutch grab as soon as you let it out...

Thats what mine does and I wouldnt have it any other way...

crap!!!

r33's have no adjustment. and you WILL **** your gearbox if you dont fix it. Heavy heavy duty (clutch companys can modify the pressure plate to be stronger but then the standard nissan r33 hydrolic system cannot cope with it to disengage the clutch properly.

A friend of mine made a custom adjustment for my clutch which was the ONLY way that fixed it. I could probly get him to make you one for a price.

PM me if interested.

Never had to MODIFY clutch hydraulics yet with a heavy duty clutch .. I had a OS GIKEN twin plate and run perfect with standard 31 hydraulics ..

clutch is adjustable on the pedal,the rod that goes to your pedal is fully adjustable,that should bring the pedal up,if it doesnt come up enough,either lengthen the slave cyl rod or use a spacer between slave cyl piston and rod the lenthen it.

[Dsturbd]

Not a good idea to do that get it fixed by some who knows what there doing

[vspecv]

why isnt it a good idea to do that?

the clutch system isnt so complicated ,it just needs more throw

[Guest Robo's]

There is no adjustable rod, its all hydraulic, i will bleed it tomorrow and see if it changes

[vspecv]

mate, we do dozens of gtst clutches,the rod to the clutch pedal from the clutch master cyl is threaded with 2 nuts on it,it is totally adjustable

[Dsturbd]

I seen a show called BUSH MECHANICS do that once ... If it was ment to have a spacer NISSAN would of put it there

[vspecv]

really,

clutches are different and made by different manufacturers,if u fitted an identical clutch,it wouldnt need any adjustment.

when NISSAN built the cars ,they were designed to be fitted with a standard clutch,not an aftermarket clutch.fitting a spacer is make shift no question,ideally if your able modifying slave cyl rod to be adjustable is the way to go,but if your not equiped to do that a spacer will suffice.

[Dsturbd]

In ten years of fitting clutches to all sorts of vechiles I have never needed to space a slave cylinder ....

[vspecv]

so that means it doesnt need to be done huh.we do mainly gtst and have fitted dozens of aftermarket clutches and have had to do it numerous times,although we modify the rod ,so it can be adjusted,but as i said if someone isnt equipped to do that,a spacer will suffice.

generally adjusting the master cyl rod will do the job,but on a few twin plates we have done,we have also had to lenthen the slave rod aswell to get a good pedal.

[Dsturbd]

What after market clutches do you use ...

[vspecv]

usually daikin in singles and twin and triples,the usual jap stuff

[Dsturbd]

Same as me ... Dont DAIKEN supply clutches to NISSAN

[vspecv]

yep,but standard
