Sorry - 5mm.

You have an adjustment problem. There is about 60mm of travel in the slave. you need to be able to force the piston/pushrod back inside. It should push back in with very minimal effort. If it cannot, your clutch pedal is overadjusted. Get someone to wind the pushrod looser while someone else pushes against the slave pushrod. As soon as the piston can push back inside the slave, leave your adjusment there. If you are still having problems after that, you might have a master cylinder pushrod length issue or if you used the old pushrod on the new master cylinder sometimes the ball section on the pushrod from the factory master is larger than the cup section in the back of the master cylinder piston so the old pushrod holds the piston forward by a mm or so. This is all it takes to block the recovery port in the master and prevent back filling into the cylinder. If you used the old pushrod on the new master, I'd check that before adjusting the pushrod any further.

Thanks. I'll give that a shot tomorrow night.

I bought the master cylinder from Kudos Motorsport as per the link (http://www.kudosmotorsports.com/catalog/nissan-clutch-master-cylinder-genuine-nissan-skyline-r32-gtr-r33-gtr-r34-gtr-rb26dett-p-384.html)

By pushrod, do you mean the rod inside the master cylinder booster (the adjustable one) or the gold push rod in the picture of the master cylinder in that link?

Thanks

Sorry I forgot you had a GTR. Disregard the ball on the pushrod comment - that is for GTST's only. It has the booster which you can't really go wrong with (unless you pulled the booster pin out)

All good. Booster pin was untouched. Simply replaced the master cylinder with a new one and installed it. Gravity bled the system, then bled by pumping the clutch and then gravity bled again.

Then had the same issue - Adjusted inside the cabin, I will take a photo of how far up it is adjusted tonight.

I have noticed that the peddle comes up more after i have been driveing for a bit and the clutch warms up. I should say too that it is fitted with a extreme extra heavy duty button clutch and presure plate and 10lbs chrome molly flywheel.

I will be changing the length of the push rodd to the master cylinder as the one on the slave is fixed length.

Also i have noticed that the stroke length of the peddle is only about 20mm i put this down to the face that it is adjusted incorrectly.

@ LCXU105 - Oh you meant you push the pedal down and it's only hard for 20mm of pedal travel?

I thought you were referring to the slave cylinder which is what we were talking about

If the clutch is bled and adjusted correctly then the only other thing that can cause it to pull the car forward when you start it in gear with the clutch down is if the clutch plate is bent (usually from improper installation by people on the ground hanging the box off the back of the engine for too long)

No m8 you have it wrong. car is not moveing foward at all and i was saying that the slave cyl rod can be pushed in 20mm when not in use and the peddle is hard at the top of the stroke for only 20mm of travel and clutch is fully ingaged. will be adjusting the rod on the master cyl so it is a little further down on the peddle stroke so i know it is not putting presure on the clutch.

The first two lines were for you.

The second two were for LS128

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
