Hey all

I have recently put a new HD button clutch in my skyline r32 gtst. The process was simple enough and everything seemed to go together pretty easily. I replaced the gearbox snout as the old one had broken off.

Then all the trouble started once I started bleeding the clutch system. I am only using the master cylinder nipple as the other two bleed nipples are at lower points and only clutch fluid is cumming out no air. So I am continually bleed from the master cylinder nipple. Its pretty simple and as Im bleeding I can see the slave progressively moving more and more. The only problem that I can visible see as I bleed is that the master cylinder moves upwards and the clutch pedal is pumped. I have now gotten to the point where I am no longer seeing any improvement in the slave cylinder's travel.

The problem is that the clutch isn't able to fully disengage. I have tried adjusting the u thingo on the ending of the master cylinder but still no improvement. I have noticed that the clutch pedal sits about 1 half the distance that the brake pedal sits. I have taken the clutch pedal box out and have inspected it. The mounting bolts seem to be slightly bent.

My question is what should I do to try and extend the travel of the slave cylinder to get the clutch to fully disengage? Should I put spacers between the clutch pedal and firewall to try and sit the clutch right? Is it the slave cylinder?

I am totally lost and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Tyrone

From under dash there is a bolt stopping the pedal from moving towards the drivers seat. This may even be a switch. Unlock lock nut and take wiring off then wind it out till the pedal is at desired height.(same as brake pedal) then lock lock nut and put wiring back on clutch switch.

Then adjust the pushrod that goes from pedal into the master cylinder.

Try this and let us know

I have attempted to do this with no success twice. The clutch pedal sits still too low with the bolt removed. The nut type thing on the master cylinder is already adjusted quite long and has made very little to no difference.

I Will keep trying once the weather drys up a bit. Thanks for your input DVS 32R.

Had the exact same problem with my r32 after rebuilding the gearbox, turns out it was the pivot ball inside the bellhousing that was to far in so the travel from the slave cylinder wasnt enough to disengage the clutch, take your gearbox off an have a look, its a 17mm spanner to unwind the pivot ball an bobs your uncle :)

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      On 12th June, the mechanic could not figure out what the issue was, but the car seems to be flooding with fuel. He was suspecting the tune, thus referred me to a tuner. Although the tuner is not familiar with Nistune, last Monday (30th June), he came over to try and re-map it. Despite the tuner trying to completely stop fuel, it kept sounding like it was pushing fuel. Tuner ended up suspecting either the ECU or Injectors. I do not believe the ECU or Nistune is the issue, as the Nistune software reads and communicates properly. Today, I removed the (new) injectors to see if they are clogged or leaking. Surprisingly enough, after those 3 days of driving, injectors 2 and 3 look very blocked. You can see the difference in the picture. I blew a bit on 3, that is why it doesn't look as clogged as 2. I am still unsure if this is what is causing the no start issue, but I am now feeling that I may have bought the injectors and Nistune without the need to do so, as the problem seems to be coming from somewhere else.

      R34 GTR Front Diffuser/Guard Liner questions.

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Hello everyone. I've recently started the research into R34 GTR front bits and running into eye watering prices. On the plus site it looks like some places make 'replacement' fender liners for these cars. At eye-watering-but-less than stock prices. I also noticed there's plenty of diffuser options available too. What I would like to know is if my following assumptions are correct. 1) The OEM guard liners are actually only 'half' the liner. They go together with the OEM brake vents which are a separate item which looks to be quite a large 'panel' that is part of the liner. The GTR bumper has bolt holes along the front. I assume the ones in the vent correspond to the ones the OEM liner does not have (circled?)   2) The V-Spec front diffuser supplants the brake ducts in the above item. I am assuming these still work with the guard liners as there's no alternate part that I'm aware of. I don't see how they go together, so I'm making the assumption that they have to, somehow. I know the center splash guard is different on the V-Spec (and is the price of the damn diffuser alone). How does the liner interact with this? 3) There's alternate front diffusers that do away with it all. Annoyingly, a lot of the clones and CF different ones... have no brake ducts on them. I like the idea of them though. My brakes get hot on the track. These alternate diffusers are a lot cheaper than plastic splash guards. I'm assuming you don't have to/aren't supposed to remove guard liners to run a diffuser. I suspect that quite a few people actually do not run the guard liner because with a front undertray you're getting a lot of 'splash' guarding anyway, and most people remove liners given they're probably running a pretty aggressive setup with a diffuser at the front. It would also be nice to know if anyone has ever run the 'reproduction' guard liners and know whether the fitment is OEM quality or "OEM Quality". Example: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/356254671561 https://carbonetics.net/products/nissan-skyline-r34-gtr-plastic-front-wheel-arch-set Is this knowledge still around?

      Really, effort is pretty low. You hand fistfuls of cash over to someone else and pick it up when done...   And at least this shitbox isn't drinking coolant right?
