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

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
