Well. My poor R32 has developed a driveline problem. It seems the clutch wont disengage the gearbox fully. I drove down half of my street in 2nd gear with foot on the clutch. It crunches 90% of gearchanges, and to put it in 1st the car needs to be switched off, select gear, then start again. When you take off it shudders and makes a clunking sound. Been talking to Dave and he has suggested checking out the clutch fork, slave, and pivot.

Have you bled clutch correctly? Do it on a hoist (like I did) so you can see the amount of fork travel at the slave cylinder. And bleed it from ALL bled valves. My Stagea has 3.

:thumbsup:

I did bleed the clutch, albeit on axle stands, and it all seemed to be doing its job. I will have a look if I get time, but Ive got an appointment, need to finish a uni assignment thats due today and work. Cheers guys.

Alot of SA people are going to the Kadina Show and Shine this weekend, so you might not get much of a response. And maybe dont include the meet location, unless you want unwanted visitors, and i dont just mean cops! :thumbsup:

easiest way to bleed nissan clutches is to have 4 hours and plenty of beer spare, or buy a 1pc braided line from master to slave and p1ss the balance block and damper pipe off. Most good workshops will follow the factory service manual and pressure bleed it with a vacuum device :thumbsup:

I had a similar issue, didn't crunch gears but was sticky as f**k. Clutch fork had spun on the thrust bearing and the slave was pushing the fork on an angle etc etc, it was really messy. It was all replaced before any serious dramas but frusterated the f**k out of me.

Quick Q:

Whats the main differences/advantage between R32 GTST front calipers and R33 GTST front calipers?

Is it simply the 32 is just for 280mm rotors and 33 is just for 297mm rotors. Any differences in piston sizes?

so found our new puppy after looking for a good month, bullmastiff x staffy.

only thing is, its in pt lincoln god dammit.

Congrats! Looks like a beautiful puppy. Please make sure you train and exercise it properly and love it dearly.

hahaha mastiff's get huge staffy is a medium dog

personally i wouldn't buy cross that's when you get temperament problems

Sorry Steve but I'm going to call bullshit on that statement.

I have volunteered at the Lonsdale RSPCA in the boarding section for over 18 months now where we have a minimum of 70 dogs every day and up to 120/130 dogs per day on long weekends. After looking after, walking, playing with, feeding and grooming 1000s of dogs I can tell you that temperament problems have nothing to do with cross breeding.

Dogs are the most loving and loyal creatures (to humans) on the planet. Temperament problems that can occur will usually be due to the humans that come in contact with the dog, its surroundings and everyday life, if the dog has been attacked before, or in some cases mental illness (just like humans have).

As someone who studied genetics I can tell you that 'pure bred' dogs have suffered from generations of in-breeding, usually grandfather & granddaughter mating, and IIRC in some breeds there are less than 50 variances in their genetic code, ie they are closer to extinction than the Panda Bear. I will need to search to provide a reference for that statement though. Cross breeds vary the genetics of the dog and are therefore likely to live longer and suffer less illness. I had all this info on my old C: drive which died so I'll have to search for the books again to elaborate further.

FYI

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
