Ok, So i am finally going to get my OS Giken twin plate (TS2CD) put in to my car. The existing clutch slips like a bitch, and when it gets some work in traffic, i get a grating feeling in the pedal.

When i get the clutch put in, should i look at upgrading the standard pivot ball to the nismo one, along with the pedal bracket.

What does the pivot ball do, i assume it interacts with the selector fork???

Also assume that he nismo pedal bracket is stronger?

Help and explanations greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Mike

to dis engage your clutch the thrust bearing needs to be pushed towards the front of the car .

your slave cylinder faces towards the rear

the fork acts like a see saw ontop of the pivot to connect the 2

Anyone have a view on whether it is worth $70 for a Nismo one or is the stock just fine?

just stitch weld the pedal, the one out of my 32 snapped like a carrot.

some people put a spacer under the piviot ball, lengthen the fork end and put spacers at the clutch slave to make it softer.

lots of things to think about

I've snapped a pivot, not exactly fun trying to rev-match a synchro box to change gears for 10km. Crash box on the other hand is fine :thumbsup:

For the peace of mind (especially with a heavy clutch), I'd put the Nismo pivot in while you have the box out.

Oh and I've had my Nismo pedal bracket sitting there for YEARS in anticipation of my breaking lol

Yeah, I've snapped 2 pivots (both R32 gearbox). Both times it also damaged the slave. The first time I drove home with no clutch, the second time the fork was wedged in the clutch jamming it half on, half off so when I tried to start it up & drive home it killed my clutch within seconds (was probably close anyway...) Felt like an auto with a high-stall...

Also snapped pedal box once, just got a new standard one & seam-welded it. In my opinion stronger & cheaper than Nismo.

As mentioned, for the sake of $70 get one & avoid any potential headaches

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
