Hi guys,

Put this post up in general maintenance section and no replies as yet so I thought I'd ask some fellow sandgropers

I have just upgraded from a 33 GTST to a GTR and need to know how to adjust the grab point of the clutch as it is almost at the top of the clutch pedal throw

I did this on my GTST but this looks totally different

Can someone help as I have never worked on a GTR before

Cheers

Should be the same on a GTST, Just "unlock" the 14mm nut and adjust the rod accordingly?

LOL " Should be the same " GTR run a clutch booster and is not wise to adjust the rod , adjusting the pedal will just screw things over . Let the people who know offer the advice ..

The "same" in the sense they run the same type of rod/adjustment system regardless of having a booster or not.

In regards to the adjustment anyone who has fitted an after market clutch (say a twin plate) would have adjusted this rod to get the correct pedal adjustment. Just be carefull when adjusting. You always need about 2-3mm freeplay.

No free play will lead to excessive clutch wear, and too much will lead to a high grab point.

Oh an working on vehicles 5 days a week for almost 7 years, I think I have the "know" to give out this kind of advice :)

So you adjust the pedal side of a boosted clutch and nothing else ?

I tried but failed in adjusting clutch

On my GTST there is a 12mm lock nut and a post to screw in/out

On the GTR the setup is the same but the post is covered by a rubber grommet all the way from the locknut to the firewall.

I tried to pull the grommet back but it doesn't look like it should be messed with.

There is also a pedal adjustment that doesn't effect grab point just gives you a longer or shorter maximum throw of the pedal

HELP

Anyone ???

Does this mean there is no adjustment and my clutch is worn?

    • 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.  
    • 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       
    • 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).
