ok sounds weird but clutch is squeeking on my friends 33.

i have pulled off the box to have a thorugh inspection.

i think it is the slave cylinder not keeping pressure on the clutch fork hense allowing the thrust bearing to just sit off of the pressure plate fingers.

i think that the thrust bearing is everynow and again touching the pressure plate causing the squeek.

the reason for this happening is the fork is a slightly sitting just off the slave cylinder and it has nothin to do with the fork.

i think the problem is that the slave cylinder is not operating correctly and extending out and putting pressure on the fork.

my question is. is the slave cylinder suppose to keep the pressure on the fork or do they just slop around cause the rb20 setup i have in the 31 and the setup i had in the 32 the slave cylinder kept a constant pressure on the clutch fork hense keeping a constant pressure and keeping the thrust bearing in contact with the fingers on the pressure plate.

cause atm the thrust bearing is a couple of millimeters off of the fingers of the pressure plate and when it makes contact whilst driving it squeeks. it actually sounds like a loose exhaust squeek. and its not a constant squeek showing symptoms like a thrust or imput shaft bearing.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
