Hey guys i recently bought a skyline R33 GTS-T and since ive received it ive had trouble with the clutch\gearbox its like the clutch pedal isnt going far enough because unless i have it in neutral its starts to roll slightly forward (uphills and flat's) and feels like im letting out the clutch out but its FLAT to the floor, by flat i mean hard up against firewall or whatever it hits against and its super hard to push but it might have a heavy duty clutch or something like that im not too sure

So guys any help fixing my problem is appreciated :yes:

Cheers guys

Sounds exactly like one of the symptoms I was having. Is your clutch getting stuck? Is it hard to get into gears? You could try adjusting the pushrod to be longer, thus giving it more push on the clutch. My master failed. Finally fixed it today. The spring in the old master was broken and it would cause the clutch to either disengage poorly or not at all.

OOOoooo im going to have to give that a try extending the pushrod nah but my clutch isnt getting stuck, but yeah its a coont to get into gears but if i extend the pushrod it might kill my slave cylinder i did it before when i was doing an engine conversion on a ke30 corolla but i will have to give it a try and see how i go :yes:

Thanx man

Ok so i was cruising along the northern road and i couldnt change it down so i pushed 4th and got unto the great western and because it was empty i was able to get across the lanes and into residential area YAY so now i got it towed home because it just wont engage the clutch so what could it be just before it died i bled the shiz out of it so i think that pushed the master cylinder over the edge so im going to get one soon and see how it goes i will keep you guys updated :thanks:

You've got fluid in the clutch reservoir? (yes, stupid question, I know, but I know a case of someone whose car stopped, and he swore it had fuel in the tank, which it didn't!).

Is the clutch pedal sitting at the correct height when the pedal is up (should be close to the same height as the brake pedal)?

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
