hi all

i am having a great deal of bother with my R32

GTR clutch

was driving fine but slowly became hard to select gears.

it got to the point that the car would creep forward in gear when clutch is totally depressed.

i adjusted the clutch peddle and all problems went away for about 100km's but have come back worse than ever.

the clutch will not disengage at all now

start the car in neutral and can not select any gears

start the car in gear with clutch peddle depressed and car lurches forward!!!!

i have replaced clutch master, clutch slave (nismo) and have removed the damper system with the use of a braided line.

still same problem

the clutch peddle feels good, the clutch slave has good movement.

So to summarize

clutch is Direct Racing twin plate

clutch pressure plate fingers look good

clutch pivot does not seem to be broken

entire hydraulic system is new and been bled many times

the only thing i can think of is the clutch fork

but i can not see any sines of damage

i pulled the gearbox out for the car 550km's ago when i rebuilt motor and all looked good and has been working fine for 500km's and now this please help me

I would say the pivot point on the clutch fork has broken. When you press the pedal, the cracks in the fork pivot simply "opens up" and doesn't push the thrust bearing fully onto the pressure plate.

Alternatively, the clutch pedal box has broken.

could be a warped friction disc or pressure plate.

I had all world of issues with an exedy copper mix I got from japland. Im assuming the package was dropped HARD on its way over. Replaced with an OEM for test sake and had a perfect working system again. Could not tell the copper mix was faulty tho.

Before you munch out your gearbox in frustration (as you sound like me and would probably be provoking the wound to try pinpoint its cause) drop the box and inspect the clutch.

Best thing you can do is throw in a stock clutch and flywheel if you have one lying around. A weekends work is cheaper than a new gearbox when you mince that one. Do this simply to see if the clutch itself is the problem as you know a stocky definitely WORKS.

Hi mate, I've got EXACTLY the same thing happening with my R32 GTR and I too am ready to burn it ! Have done the same thing with hydraulic system too and no fix. I'm running an OS giken 5 speed with the giken R3C triple clutch (both very new) and it seems not all plates are disengaging. You can hear only a slight rattle when clutch pedal is pressed instead of the full rattling noise which indicates whether the plates are free or not.

I'm ripping the box out as we speak to find the problem. We are leaning towards a damaged spigot bearing picking up on the input shaft as I've had this happen on my R33 GTR when I converted to a push setup for a ATS/carbonetics triple. This had defintely picked up on the spigot on my 33 but also had a bearing carrier that was 2mm too short causing the problem. Now I know the carrier in my 32 is correct according to OS giken so I'll let you know of my outcome, but my money is on the spigot being damaged or fork damaged.

i have sence pulled the clutch fork boot out and reinstalled the clutch slave so i can see the clutch fork and pressure plate in action and everything seems fine.

i can not see any twisting, warping or cracking of the clutch fork or clutch fork pivot.

Your just gonna have to pull the clutch out mate. If everything is ok like my car sounds like your clutch plates are warped enough to stop it disengaging. Do you launch it much ?

My OS giken R3C lasted 12 runs from new and the warpage of the metal intermediate plates was enough to not let the clutch totally disengage. The plates are blue and the run out is over 0.5mm per plate. Checked everything else - hydraulics from master to slave ok, didn't pick up spigot bearing, release fork ok. I guess 520rwkw is too much for a giken triple heat wise. Another carbon triple to the rescue.

I had totally forgotten about this thread !!!

Long story short the retaining ring on the pressure plate (holds the fingers to the plate had snapped.

Clutch rebuilt

All good :)

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
