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)?

      Max horse power stock internals?

      G30-770. So long as you're talking engine horsepower, and not some bullshit wheel/axle/mystery horsepower.

      It's a lottery, no one is going to be able to predict how much HP YOUR engine is going to handle as history has a huge part to play.    As examples though. I have one rb26 on 630rwhp, running 16 years now at that level, track use, only a couple of times a year.  Another 790rwhp, about 2 years now, driven every weekend.    If i was to give you a "safe" number I would say 450rwhp on 98 and 550-600 on e85.  Seen plenty of motors pop with less though too

      Fair play on the 120k, sorry just live in nanny Aus.  High rpm on cruise would kill me too.    On the gears, its not just first, so beside the fact I really enjoy that nice punch you get when you accel in first. 2nd is all messed up in the gearsets too. Most people I know with gearsets(even sequentials) have to drop into 1st for tarmac rally slower corners as second gear is too low in rpm, its painful. Translate to the street, I am using a 2.3 gear out of a low speed turn, gearset you got a 1.7 second. I can tell you now between my two cars which one is a LOT more fun.    On a track its a different story, once the car is moving the gearset ratios are supreme, 1st gets you going on a big rpm launch, then 2nd is no issue for the corner speed on most tracks.    Yer the price sucks  , old enough to remember these selling for $1500usd here in Aus.

      Will mainly be steering the car as tracking it in China would reduce its value a lot and mines a near mint condition v spec 2. Just weighing out the options for the next improvement. Thanks

      Thanks for the info. With the 2.8L stroker kit what would be the best single turbo setup for around 700-750 drivable horsepower? As I think after that it’s going to be very aggressive power delivery.
