Hi all,

Just bought an R33 GTR

The clutch grabs way too high and so I want to adjust

The guy I bought it off said new clutch fitted fairly recently so I hope it's not on the way out/he's telling porkys.

I did this adjustment at the pedal on my 33 GTST no worries.

But this looks totally different on the GTR

Searched forum could not find anything that helps much

Could anyone help....PLEASE!

work shop manual man google for it will be your best friend exploded veiws of exactly what you want to do
Thanks for your suggestion

I downloaded service manual. Went through all 489 pages and you wouldn't believe no mention of clutch at all!!

It certainly has eveything else I could need so very helpful but still no wiser as to how to adjust clutch

I suppose I will just have a play and see what happens

Suppose I can't do too much wrong

Thanks again

If it's grabbing way too high, it could be a few things like:

- worn clutch

- air pockets in the clutch lines

- dodgy slave

- dodgy clutch cylinder

It's not a cable clutch, so there isn't any real adjustments.

Still can't find how to adjust clutch

Some people say there is no adjustment

Some say there is and its simply to adjust the rod but it certainly isn't easy

There is a pedal height adj with a 14mm locknut

That doesn't help the grab point tho.

Then there is the rod/shaft that goes into the clutch cylinder thru the firewall

A 12mm locknut is on this but there is a rubber grommet/dust cover that covers the rod completely from the locknut to the firewall

so there is no way I can see to turn the rod.

Can anyone shed some light on this

PLEASE

Its driving me crazy and I have tried hard to research this to no avail.

This should be the one to adjust. It can't be totally covered by the dust seal, otherwise the rod wouldn't be able to be pushed by the pedal.

Very worst case, pull the instrument cluster out to get better access to the pushrod.

With all due respect "are you on drugs" :))))

The dust seal is concertinaed so as you push the clutch in the rubber dust cover squashes up.

Also I want to know how removing the instrument cluster which is 3 feet above would help.

But thanks anyway for bothering to assist

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
