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.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
