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 have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
    • Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.
    • Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
