i have a R34 converted to a manual using R33 GTST bits, with a heavy duty clutch (i dont know the brand)

car has ran fine for 6 or so months til one day my pedal starting getting softer and softer til eventually i cudnt even get a grab point and it wouldnt go into gear... so i found a leaking clutch line.. got that fixed a week later the clutch did the same... so i got my master cylinder re-hauled.... now 2 weeks after that my clutch has done the same thing so i got my slave cylinder over hauled...

just got it back the other day after getting the slave all done..... problem is back again....... WHAT IS THE PROBLEM!! it's really bothering me :P

cheers

ahhhh.. ok?

GT AUTO GARAGE here in Brisbane, are the ones that said its my master cylinder for sure and that the seal was broken so i got that done. it happened again so i took it back and they said ok next step is ur slave.. so i said ok got that done and they said that should be the last of it.. you have a new line, new master, new slave theres nothing else there that could be the problem.. and now its happened again.....

so before you go takin a stab at ME, i havent done any of this work, QUALIFIED mechanics have recommended everything that has been done and they have done all the work... not me.

cheers for the concern tho

Maybe read your first post again. I wasn't taking a stab at you, merely reading a post that kept saying 'I this' and 'I that'

And qualified doesn't always mean qualified mechanics, it means maybe take it somewhere like ABS - A brake and clutch specialist. If someone knows how to test the system properly, they will find it straight away, not just say 'oh the next step is....'

Find the problem....fix it

Just throwing it out there.....

I had a very similar problem. turns out the spot welds on the clutch pedal bracket came apart and the whole pedal was twisting when i pressed the pedal and in turn not compressing the master cylinder piston completely and in turn not fully compressing the slave and so on.... which obviously made it difficult changing gears. I ignored it to the point where i eventually stuffed my slave cylinder and had to have it reco'd. All it took to fix was a fey welds on the pedal brace/bracket. it was a cheap exercise put cost me a few days off the road messing around with it all. I have since been told this is very common problem with nissan clutch pedals. I guess thats why nismo sell a reinforced aftermarket one.

Just my two cents. Hope it helps someone in someway.

Cheers!

why did you guys get the master and slave cylinders reconditioned when new parts are just as cheap

Had mine rebuilt with new parts. $20 cash job through a bloody good brake and clutch shop.

Price included honing, parts and labour.

Only slave needed doin.

ok thanks RBceffy25, i'll definatley have a little look around that area thanks for the input mate.

Arthur T3, yeah i have been thinking its either the way my pedal has been put in or my fork is not operating properly so does anyone know how to diagnose the clutch fork? or do i have to get everythin ripped out? i think i got quoted like $500ish to get everything ripped out and gone over... + then whatever parts need fixing etc. but i dont really wanna go paying all that money...

the part that i dont get is.. it was driving perfect for 6months or so.. then suddenly just whilst stopped at lights i went to take off and noticed it had gone all soft (the pedal) and the engagment point was straight off the floor... so why would it just go all of a sudden? maybe it is the pedal itself what ceffy suggested.. the welds just broke then...

cheers

I've had a similar issue before with the clutch pedal bracket- I can machine a solid one up for you if you need, happy to have a look a look at yours if you like. For checking out your hydraulic systems you could try BHSS at Albion (opposite Perry Park)

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
