Hi Guys!

Got this bit of a problem w/ my GT-R BNR32 clutch pedal. I have a Nismo super coppermix twin, new master and slave clutch cylinders. I noticed that there are times that when I step on my clutch pedal sometimes it's hard and I can hear an air like sound that goes "shhhhhh" along w/ it. But right after that pedal feel, it goes back to normal. This happens a lot especially when the car is not used for like 5 days straight.

I have a push type clutch by the way. Hope GT-R gurus here can help me. Thanks!!!

GTR's have vacuum assisted clutch master cylinders, you probably have a vacuum leak somewhere, this will make you use more of your own strength when the vacuum assistance is lessened. Sounds odd that its intermittent though.

If your wondering why ur clutch pedal is heavier when engine is off, that is the reason and its completely normal. If it gets to the "engine off heavyness" while the engine is on then you Definitely have a leak.

Thanks for the reply bro! Actually it happens when the engine is one... Damn! Now how to locate this vacuum leak? :P This would be quite hard since this problem does not happen regularly. Any advice mate?

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
