having an issue with my clutch, put a brand new slave and master cylinder in my 33. clutch was perfect for around 600klms and then is started picking up right near the floor and now i can't even get it into gear.

just wondering if anyone knows what to look for?

my first opinion was air in the system, not being bled properly, but then it lasted 600klms..

anyone knows how to troubleshoot would really appreciate it..

I would bleed the master and slave just to make sure there is no air in the system, or a leak. Did you replace the clutch line?

I know the master and slave are new but new doesnt always mean it will work. better off catching it now if thats what it is and claiming waranty. If you bleed everything and then its still the same then you probably have a clutch problem. If it works all good then gradually goes away again then you have a problem somewhere between your pedal and the clutch fork. Fork is moving, but may not be moving through the full motion

Well it sounds like your clutch hasnt started slipping, sounds like theres not enough travel to engage the pressure plate to disengage the clutch

so in that case.... some sort of pivot ball issue? I'm not sure what happens when the pivot ball fails, I know it leads to clutch issues. You could maybe grab a torch and pull the rubber boot for the fork aside and see if theres anything obvious. But I'm not sure how much you will see. How much travel does the slave have?

Did you adjust the freeplay in the clutch pushrod?

You may also have cracked the pivot on the thrust fork so that it will open up when the pedal is depressed, reducing the ability of the thrust bearing to properly disengage the clutch.

When you snap the pivot, the pedal will go to the floor and not come back up without help. Had to drive home like it was an 18spd road ranger box :laugh:

Yeah i had that happen to me recently and my clutch had only done about the same km's.. brand new.

I checked the pivot/fork, new slave+master.. everything appeared to be fine, so last weekend with a couple mates off came the box..

only to find that the pressure plate bolts where not done up, well i lie, 3 where.. 6 wherent.. so the plate was sitting on the piss...

Tightened them up and box back on, bam! no problems ;)

I should have known that lol...... Now that you've said it I feel like an Idiot for not remembering haha

I put some lube on mine when I put my box back in last time, no more squeaking, and the clutch feels a bit nicer :)

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
