Looks like a push to me.. actually have no idea what a push looks like :cool: as I have a pull in mine :P and the assembly didn't look like that..

AFAIK only the 93 got pull.

Its a push.

The slave cylinder pushes on the fork, which pivots on the pivot ball in the bell housing, and so the thrust bearing PUSHES on the clutch.

hang on hang on......

i was pretty sure i was told the GT-R has a PULL type clutch............

and the conversions to OS-GIKEN etc have kits to convert GT-R to PUSH type....

i guess im not 100%

As described above, GTR's built from late '92 or '93 came with the pull mechanism. Prior to that, the push type is used.

The reason for the change is that the push type clutch fork and pivot ball are weak points if you move to a heavy duty clutch (increased spring load). The clutch fork fails by fatigue at the pivot ball contact point and I believe the pivot cracks just under the head. The clutch fork failure is a actually a problem that goes right back to the early race 240Z's as they used essentially the same design. I've suffered 2 fork failures with heavy duty clutches in the Z.

The pull style clutch mechanism is a much better design and eliminates the problem.

well ive did a quick search, and it is stated that the GT-R uses a PUSH type clutch......

most Cable operated Clutches are pull type where Hydrualic clutches are generally PUSH.

the twin & triple plate from OS-Giken supply Kits with thier clutches to convert to Pull type.

and as far as i remember, the GT-R has a Dual Mass flywheel...

which is used by Push Types....

apparently they cannot be machined...and should be replaced when replacing the clutch.

otherwise slippage can occur.

ook I've done.that.much reading up on this subject and.I can't get a clear answer everybody says different things. I have a 1994 gtr with a push type it appears that year makes no difference to the clutch type. best way to tell is push type is flexible line and is in front of the fork and pull is behind tje.fork with a hard line

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
