hey all, i recently put a new clutch in my car and i need some help with it. atm the pedal is really hard and the distance between the clutch being engaged and disengaged is rather small. to add to this the point where that area is, is really far down, as in the pedal has to be pushed really far down to get to that point. im wondering if i change the slave cylinder to either a smaller or a larger unit will a) make the clutch pedal lighter b) make the the distance between engaging and disengaging larger aswell as brining the point of engagement further up. any help would be much appreciated.

a bigger one will make it feel lighter, but for a given amount of pedal movement you'll get less slave cylinder movement - less travel. a smaller one will be a bit harder to push but you wont have to move the pedal as far to make the clutch slave move the same amount it does now.

ahhh thanx heaps baron, its a full face copper mix clutch plate and some high pressure pressure plate. i was told it wont be like a button cause i dint want a button but atm its kinda acting like one. im hoping as i wear it in more itll be a little lighter and hoping with a smaller slave cyl it will be easier to drive.

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
