Hey all

I have a R33 GTS25t with a fairly heavy duty clutch in it (brand and specs unknown, was installed by previous owner, I don't have any details for it). Recently I had some trouble with it, it suddenly became very hard to get into gear, had to be forced into gear. I took it to my mechanics (who are pretty good, performance specialist mechanice) and they had the whole box etc out and deduced it was a clutch fork ball that was causing the problem, replaced this and reassembled.

For 2 days it was like butter to shift...then last night I was downchanging to 2nd as I was coming up to a light, just normally not thrashing it, and it wouldn't go into gear, it's now doing the exact same thing as before, just an absolute b**ch to get into gear....

Any ideas???

Thanks guys

Mate there are quite a few possibilities. I would just be taking it back to where it was done the other day.

Could be clutch, fork, pivot ball, slave cylinder, master cylinder or pedal box.

Pretty much every component.

I guess the most important question to ask if I was going to ask one, would be, does the pedal feel normal or does it have no pressure behind it?

Bugger I was hoping it might be nice and simple, never the way :( lol oh well. Yeah will take it back prob on monday, just seems so strange that it'd do the same so soon after gettin fixed lol.

Pedal feels completely normal ay, what does that tell you? lol

Thanks man

Hang on, so if the pedal feels normal it means that it's more likely to be the hydraulics?

Just asking this because I'm having a similar problem and I've done a master and clutch cylinder and nothing's changed. Odd?

You have probably not bled the system properly, adjusted the pushrod on the master cylinder properly or there is another problem present

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
