Hey guys,

Ever since I got an Exedy heavy duty clutch professionally installed, clutch pedal feels quite heavy especially after 2 hrs drive each way to work.

Would a nismo slave cylinder make any difference? What other ways can I make the clutch pedal lighter?

Also, quite irrelevant to topic, but is there any suspension that I can put on to make the ride softer than the standard r33 gtr suspension?

Cheers!

I've used my GTR as a daily, but only 1 hour trips each way. Are you sure the clutch booster is working? (clutch pedal should be lighter when the engine is on and feeding it vacuum).

I've never been in a skyline with standard suspension.... If the shocks are tired it makes the ride worse.

I think the real problem is you need a new job.. :thumbsup:

I had a an exedy HD safari tuff clutch in my ute, driving 8-10 hours a day, 5 days a week your leg gets stronger after a while and you dont notice it..

So i get a new BT-50 and all i can say standard clutches are f**kin rubbish It feels all wrong ,doesnt bite when i want/expect it too and even though its only done 50oook i want to change the clutch it shits me that much with its lame spongyness.

But guess ill have to wait till it dies which could be a while, I know guy with 330,000kms on his stock clutch :(

Harden up princess..

4 cylinder? ahh you mean sr20det of course.

seriously though, get an auto corolla or something, not terribly interesting but not too bad, and you'll be saving the gtr for the good times. Or a v6 magna if you want something with a bit more grunt

Yeh it's not my legs that are weak lol it's the bottom of my foot that gets sore towards the end of the week. I have no choice where I work currently driving from Bankstown to Manly/Mona Vale it's just a part of hospital rotations lol In 3 weeks time I'll be off to Lismore for 3 months and I will drive up there. I'm a bit concerned about leaving the car at the airport there when I head back to Sydney for the weekend... pretty sure it's gonna get stolen :/

When you're sitting in traffic stationary, you sit with your foot on the clutch don't you?

If you do, STOP IT! You will be screwing the thrust washer in the engine.

If you want a lighter pedal, put a lighter pressure plate in for the clutch.

Otherwise by a MANUAL 4cylinder... They save even more fuel then the autos and stock clutch = light as.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
