Have just put a R33 box in my 32 with good secondhand OS Giken triple-plate & Nismo oversized slave. Also got a smaller diameter & smaller height thrust. Now the top half of the pedal feels like there is nothing there at all although it is moving slave slightly, next bit of pedal feels fairly normal & then just before you hit the floor pedal is really firm. The reason for the thrust was the diaphragm fingers on OS stuck out about 6mm further than previous clutch so went 6mm less height to compensate & you could see from marks on diaphragm it had been running a much smaller than stock thrust (Im assuming to help with pedal effort) so used what had been on it before. Any one had similar problems? Any help/info/advice appreciated.

yeah you need to use the smaller diameter bearing for that very reason

Yeah I am using the smaller diameter thrust. Am wondering if that along with the Nismo slave is giving me this strange pedal feel? Maybe only needed to go one or the other? Have driven a mates GTR with multi-plate clutch & the pedal was ridiculously heavy so thought I would need all the help I can get. Now it really seems too soft at top of pedal, getting firmer in stages as pedal is pushed in...

Put the stock slave back in and bleed it well and it should do the trick. Most triple plates etc. already have modified pivot points for easier operation but they need the full travel of the stock slave.

    • Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again. 
    • Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.
    • Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!
