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

There is a washer behind the pivot that can cause hassle with some twin plates. You might need to remove it to give the release bearing more room to engage/disengage.

Second thing that springs to mind is the clutch pedal adjustment, see if you can move the pick up point that way.

And I guess the other thing is make sure you don't have a leak in the clutch line itself, you did mention that you have done the slave and master, but perhaps you could be losing pressure through the line itself?

It may not be the answer, but that might give you some more things to check out!!

I have had a bit more of a think about it. MAKE SURE THE CLUTCH PLATES ARE AROUND THE RIGHT WAY INSIDE THE CLUTCH! It sounds obvious but our apprentice did this a while ago and thats what it turned out to be. This might help you out.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
