Gday guys just seeking some advice tried searching but couldnt find much. The deal is swapped my engine because it was fooked. As you may know i had to pull the clutch line out of the gearbox. I have now put it back on to the same gearbox filled the the line up but theres still know clutch pressure it just hits he floor when i depress it. I actually havent started the new engine in the car does this matter like does the engine have to be running to get pressure? its a r33 rb25

+1 as above

also if you drain out all the fluid you will need to bleed the master cylinder first, then the slave cylinder.

no i didnt bleed it im about to do that now. i no this is a stupid question but master cylinder is the on connected to the pedal right? and slave is on the gearbox?

yep thats right, take the line off the master. put your finger over the hole. fill the reservoir with fluid, then get some one to pump the pedal and use your finger as if you were bleeding brakes, so push down pedal and release your finger at the same time, then put your finger back on and they lift the pedal, do this until pedal feel is ok then quickly put the line back on and bleed the clutch slave (on the gearbox) with the same process. make sure you dont let the fluid get below the low line on the reservoir

ok thanks heaps mate! thing is tho when i push the pedal down ot gets stuck to the floor you have to physically pull it back up will this change when the lines off and my fingers on it?

Why can't you leave the line connected and just bleed it through the bleed nipple? and then the same on the slave cylinder? Once the pedal is bled properly it will start returning back to normal operating position by itself.

yeah thats normal when doing any clutch bleeding,

have you sorted this issue yet?

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
