Clutch life is not measured in months or years......but in how much abuse it gets.

sounds like the clutch is not disengaging when you push the peddle in . Chech the fluid reservoir first If you have fluid could be failed master or slave cylender. You can check the slave yourself, its on the drivers side of the gearbox at the front. Jack the side of the car up and have a look while someone works the clutch.... you should see the lever moving.

i know where to drain the gearbox but where do you fill it back up

More than likely your cluch is not disengaging from the flywheel. Try putting it into gear before starting the car and then start it see if it tries to bunny hop..

Be careful if you have any objects in front of you when you do this.

If the car hops and you have the cluch all the way down, then your clutch may need to be adjusted or as 51jay said the fluid may be low in the master cylinder.. Other reasons can be that there is air in the lines.. Have you changed the fluid lately? Just as brakes need bleeding so does the clutch.

Does the clutch feel diffrent to B4 this happened.. eg stiffer, loose?

A stiff clutch would indicate a problem with the presure plate or even the bearing and lever (pivot point may be worn, broken)

A loose feel would more than likely be air in the lines.

Sometimes a simple adjustment can solve the problem.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      Coolant leak?

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
