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 :)

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
