Check the pedal box, They are known for breaking near the spot welds causing the box to collapse. Clutch master cylinder is most likely contaminated with junk also. The fact that you have no signs of clutch slip is a positive thing

The fact that you still have drive means that the pressure plate and clutch are at least still working.

As GTR-32U has stated I would check out your peddle bracket, master cylinder and slave cylinder to see if that is where your problem is.

I would work on these to the point where you can get the slave cylinder to operate the clutch fork. This will identify if the problem is in the hydrolic system that works the clutch or the clutch itself.

Are you sure the clutch pivot ball hasn't broken? This happened to me when my old silvia broke down in st kilda and my clutch just dropped, couldn't do shit. Had to replace both the pivot and slave cylinder as it shat itself same time the pivot ball broke. Also spewed clutch fluid all over the middle of beaconsfield pde at 1 in the morning :(

box has to come out unless you have the hands of a 3 year old but with the strength of an adult.

and if you don't have a hoist it is a bit of a pain to do (i found out the hard way). you only need to lower the gearbox enough to be able to work in it, so it can be done with just the car jacked up, but it isn't the easiest

You will need to remove the entire box, that involved dropping the tail shaft, removing the shifter, then sliding the box back.

Whilst you're at it, might as well upgrade to a better clutch, nismo strengthed pivot point, and larger slave ideally from a a Pre-1993 GT-R push type or just get a nismo slave.

    • While there is no current law for the spoon, let's swap to a different utensil. Example, does the store get fined for selling a butter knife if it ends up being a murder weapon? Perhaps they cpuld be done for assisting if they *knew* it was going to be for such a purpose. But, if used properly, which was its primary design, it's a tool for a job that's legal. I could understand companies being prosecuted if they advertise their products for being road legal if they in fact, are not. Possibly, but not necessarily, the tuners for tuning a car to a non legal fashion(emissions), but there is always the possibility that the customer really doesn't intend to use the car, in that configuration, on the road. So long as the companies can prove they have conveyed how illegal it is to use the now illegal car, in a place where the vehicle must meet the laws, they shouldn't be punished. Not sure about other countries or states, but I've been made aware that I can't legally stop a client from taking and driving their own car in NSW, Australia, even if they owe the shop money. It must go through court to get the funds from the customer, and you need to get the police or roads covering body representatives to come and stop the owner from driving the car, even if I know how hazardous the vehicle is.
    • probably around the $1700-1800 fitted in his sizes.  The ar1 is heaps cheaper. Get on scumplace I got some A052 295/35/18 for $400 that had done maybe 20-25 hot laps of SMP. 
    • People are going faster on CRS than AR1, so there's that 😕
    • Go the CRS, cheaper than the A052 and same if not better 1 lap performance when suspension is dialled for it. If wanting to do back to back laps the A052 and can cool off and go again next lap will be the better option. I have gone quicker over 1 lap with CRS than the A050 I came from but may be due to getting more seat time. I am driving CRS on the street lately in different conditions and its going well, a lot better than AR1 in the wet. AR1 is a race tyre, CRS is a Hill Climb/time attack/Sprint tyre. 2 different things, a slick is on the way too. The mighty gay mods choice of tyre is proper rubbish for those that actually drive on track not park at bunnings at night.
    • Seems to be a common issue, I had a look at two used tanks and both had similar cracks to mine. No one that does plastic welding near me seems to want to do it to a fuel tank lol
