Hey guys,

Just had this happen to me today - wondering if anybody has experienced this before or has any idea of what I can try. Got into my R32 and when I go to engage the clutch and a gear, I find it incredibly hard to select a gear, the clutch pedal engages normal and doesnt feel like it goes straight to the floor (has some feeling)

I limped the car home in 2nd/3rd and it was getting increasingly hard to select a gear - once I got home I couldnt select 1st/2nd from a standstill and had to roll it into the driveway - One thing I noticed was when I was at a standstill with the clutch pedal pressed in, the car would still very slowly take off (as if the clutch was still engaged) At this stage the car is undrivable so I'll have to sort something out soon for it - I checked the fluid levels and everything else looks fine - this has happened very suddenly and it has no other signs of issues at the moment.

Anybody got any ideas what I can try?

Cheers

and or give it a bleed . or make sure the hose isnt ballooning . or either cylinder isnt leaking . does the clutch slowly engage drive ( in gear ) if you hold it in for ages ?(act like you are letting the clutch out slowly even tho pedal is still right to floor

Hey dude,

thanks for the response, I went and checked it out, I undid the nipple near the fluid resovior and bled it a little - it seems okay now (the engagement point is really high compared to near the floor, so I'm wondering if the clutch is nearly gone) its drivable now but I'll get it checked out tomorrow. Not other leaks with the system and everything else seems to be okay.

Cheers for the advice

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
